🍹🌿 Cannabis beverages are gaining interest in the cocktail scene, but it's important to navigate the complexities of federal legality and regulation. Despite state-level legalization, cannabis remains federally prohibited, and the FDA lacks funding for oversight and hasn't established a safe dosage level. Both cannabis and alcohol are depressants, so it's crucial to focus on one as the lead ingredient in your beverages. Mixing the two can lead to intensified effects, which isn't ideal for patrons. Opt for non-alcoholic beverages that showcase cannabis instead. Follow Culinary Tides, Inc. for more insights.

Did you hear? 🥤🍃 Minnesota’s #hemp derived THC beverage market is worth $200 million.
A big reason mentioned for this boom?
Hemp #THC drinks can sit right next to alcohol in liquor stores in Minnesota:
You can sip one at the bar.
Or walk into your favorite brewery and see a #hemp drink on tap.
It’s interesting because this article from Troutman Pepper mentions the future of beverage sales in Minnesota may depend on the rollout of rec sales starting in 2025.
I think the future of infused drinks isn’t just tied to traditional #cannabis consumers or dispensaries.
More infused drink brands are popping up.
Until this year, very few people ever contacted us at Blaze It Media about building a drink brand.
Now?
At least once a month, someone mentions wanting to start carrying drinks in their store or create their own line.
Hemp beverages are appealing to a mainstream audience looking for alcohol alternatives.
