The cannabis industry has long been a complex landscape, full of regulatory challenges and changing legislation. One of the most contentious issues is the exploitation of the THCA loophole, which has allowed hemp-derived products to skirt THC regulations. With new legislation on the horizon, the industry is poised for significant changes. While the closure of the THCA loophole spells the end of an era for some, it opens up new opportunities for others, particularly for national lifestyle based brands who can cross-over into the realm of edibles and drinks, organically. https://lnkd.in/g5JEQCmN

Clean cannabis isn’t just a term we throw around—it’s a commitment to honoring the plant and delivering products that are free from harmful chemicals, synthetics, and unnecessary additives. It’s about whole-plant medicine, solventless extraction, and true transparency from seed to shelf. It’s what I’ve stood for since day one, and it’s what consumers deserve. A big thank you to Highly Capitalized Network-HCN for spotlighting the clean label movement in cannabis. This is exactly the kind of conversation our industry needs, and I’m excited to see it gaining traction. When we cut corners, use subpar ingredients, or rely on harsh chemical processes, we’re not just diluting the plant—we’re missing the entire point of cannabis as medicine. The #cleanlabel movement is about returning to our roots, offering consumers something real. For me, that vision has always been clear: natural, whole-plant formulations that preserve the full therapeutic potential of the plant. I appreciate HCN for getting this dialogue started, but there’s so much more to do. We need to keep pushing forward. I look forward to more platforms spreading the message because plant medicine is the only real path forward for the cannabis industry. If you believe in transparency and clean cannabis, I encourage you to join our Cannabis Clean Label Movement on LinkedIn. Let’s continue to drive meaningful change and set a new standard for the industry. Read the article below and let’s keep the conversation going.

Conventional wisdom may label the #cannabisbeverage sector as a passing fad due to its small market share. However, entrepreneurial insight suggests that #Cannabis #beverages will emerge as a dominant sector among cannabis products in the near future. The true perspective lies not in pessimism or optimism but in a deeper understanding of evolving markets and the factual data that is becoming apparent. The fact of the matter is that recreational dispensaries and the distribution model within these recreational cannabis states are not set up for the proper delivery and handling of cannabis beverages. With the segue of the hemp market allowing cannabis beverages to sit alongside alcohol, the acceptance/embracement of the players in that industry, and the availability for cannabis beverage brands to position themselves on a national level and create this footprint ahead of federal legalization, is monumental. Cannabis is and has always been a commodity; just like sugar and flavoring that go into these drinks. The value is created in the brand, its story, and the culture it creates and resonates with the audience. #DrinkMJ 🍻 ¡Salud! 👭🏽🇲🇽🇺🇸💨 #CPGMentality
