ASPEN — Marijuana-infused bubblegum could become the newest cannabis-related product manufactured in Aspen if Pitkin County commissioners approve a Denver woman s business plan today.
Commissioners are scheduled to hold a public hearing on the application today during their regular meeting, which begins at noon. If they give their thumbs-up, Diane Van Os, co-owner of the business, said she hopes to be open and producing Ganja Gum within a month.

Van Os, a Denver-area patent attorney, said a friend of hers came up with the bubblegum recipe when the woman s father was going through cancer treatment and marijuana soothed the side effects.
