The Minnesota Cannabis Beverage Market has often been referred to as a "taste of the future" by our chair, Diana Eberlein. Imagine a time where we can order a THC beverage at any bar or restaurant, grab a 6-pack of THC beverages while grabbing your High Noon at Total Wine & More, across the United States - alcohol and cannabis beverage co-existing. It's starting to happen in more and more markets, but Minnesota's become the case study for other states can use as a foundation to normalize THC beverages through sensible regulation, allowing safe and high quality products to be more accessible to the consumer. "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.'" https://lnkd.in/eAYm9ctt #drinkcannabis #beverageindustry #hemp #adultbeveragealternative #adultbeverage #minnesota

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. What do you think? #cannabisdrinks #beverages #delta9 #cannabiscommunity

🍹🌿 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.

We want to be regulated, we want to be taxed...fairly. We have great individuals representing the space and the majority of us are in alignment about low dose beverages and their place as another non-alc alternative that should be sold OUTSIDE of the dispensary channel, leaving the high dose beverages where they belong, IN the dispensaries. We'll get there, and we'll get there together. #drinkcannabis #beverageindustry #thc #hemp #hempd9 #cannabisbeverages #thcbeverages #regulation

The positioning of the Adult Beverage Alliance is spot on and helping us align more with alcohol and other adult beverage alternatives.
