Thank you Paul Demko for the thorough overview of the booming THC beverage market in Minnesota in POLITICO! It was also so refreshing being able to order THC beverages at bars and restaurants - below is Trail Magic's THC Mimosa I was sipping on during this interview! "Cannabis beverage industry leaders say they welcome regulations and taxes that will create markets where consumers can buy safe products and kids can’t purchase them. 'We need the door cracked open for us to prove that we can play by these rules,' said Diana Eberlein, chair of the Cannabis Beverage Association, in an interview at Minneapolis Cider Company’s taproom, which offers a full line of THC beverages under the Trail Magic brand. 'Bans don’t solve the problem. People will find a way to get these products.'" We want sensible regulation that creates safe products accessible to consumers! Regulation > Bans. Progress > Perfection. https://lnkd.in/dztxKtsS #drinkcannabis SōRSE Technology #regulation #beverageindustry #hemp Bob Galligan Jason Dayton David Gonzalez Jon Halper Eric Becker #minnesota #adultbeverage #adultbeveragealternative

Vol. 2 of Spill the T (HC): Why Dispensaries are the Wrong Channel for THC Beverages The writing has been on the wall for a while, but here is a detailed perspective as to why THC beverages should continue to live outside the dispensary channel. Two important call outs: 1) No shade to any dispensaries carrying beverages, or any brands still operating in that channel. You are still an important part of this space! 2) There are always outliers. Uncle Arnie's and Keef Brands have still managed to crush it in the dispensary channel over the years. However, I would attribute this to them A) being high dosed B) having a brand that is aimed at stoners and legacy users. Enjoy! #cannabisbeverage #hempbeverage #thcbeverage
