Remember a couple years ago when I said cannabis is going to end up looking like a convenience store…. Well, gummies and bev and d8 and d9 and thca are in non-rec/med shops across the country, in diverse states from Texas, CA, to MN… And in developed rec markets like MI, you can buy gummies for at $3 for 200mg (cheaper than gummies in the gas station!) If you are launching in a new market, or operating in an existing one, and this isn’t the eventual reality you are building toward, it should be. If you are investing in cannabis and the company you are putting money into hasn’t brutally faced this future with a consistent, well thought out plan, it’s a BIG red flag. Liters will be $2-3k. Lbs will be $4-600. Gummies will be $3-5 per pack at retail. Prerolls will be $2-3. I’m not here to ruin the party. I’m here to help start a new one. Let’s make sure it’s extra funky.

The odds are that, wherever you are in the world, you’ve either consumed a Coca-Cola, bought one for someone else, or seen their advertising. It’s a product that’s pretty much ubiquitous.   But did you know that it started life as a patent medicine? In fact, this date in 1889 saw the incorporation of Coca-Cola, which had formerly been the Pemberton Medicine Company.   In 1885 in Georgia, the Confederate Colonel John Pemberton, who had been wounded in the American Civil War and become addicted to morphine, began to search for a substitute for morphine, using his medical degree, eventually coming up with what he called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca Nerve Tonic.   The following year, when Atlanta passed prohibition legislation, Pemberton developed a non-alcoholic version of his nerve tonic, marketed as “Coca-Cola: The temperance drink”, which appealed to many, since the temperance movement was enjoying wide support at the time. It was highly popular at drugstore soda fountains, due to the belief that carbonated water was good for the health.   In fact, Pemberton went even further, and marketed his new drink as a patent medicine, claiming it was a cure for many diseases, including morphine addiction, indigestion, nerve disorders, headaches, and even impotence!   We’re not sure how many of those claims would have stood up to the rigorous testing of pharmaceuticals we do today, but they’re pretty remarkable beginnings for a drink that’s still with us well over a century later!   Mark Bryant Richard Henderson Godfrey Smith #clydebiosciences #pharma #research #coke #cocacola
