According to the CRA, customers said eating the edible created an "unpleasant euphoric experience" and also reported having stomach issues.
"Out of an abundance of caution, The Gummie Joint has decided to withdraw these materials from the market," the advisory notes.
According to the manufacturer's website, Naked Hippie is a "Low-dose rosin gummy for buyers who want a gentler full-spectrum experience and more controlled dosing."
The packs come with 40 gummies, each with 5mg of THC, which is the psychoactive compound that produces the "high" feeling.
