I think the casual dismissal of 10mg being too strong is a part of why a sole focus on pre-packaged beverages is flawed. Personally, I need a 50mg drink to feel a cannabev. Anything lower and I may as well be drinking a can of pop. With the price gap between a pop and a cannabis beverage, if i'm not going to feel an effect I'll just be buying a standard pop. This is why I don't drink light beer, I have to drink way too much to feel an effect.. so if light beer is my only option, I usually choose not to drink. Why am I drinking? When we compare booze to beer we dont say that 40% alc is too strong against the 5% beer. People still do shots. A lot of them. This is why I believe in a service standard with cannabis where the bartender can directly infuse your drinks (mocktails), either giving 2mg or 10mg per drink as desired by the patron. Same drink, different doses. Compare deeper with alcohol service at a standard bar and we will see a healthy range of made-to-order beverages from high alcohol percentage liquor and pre-packaged lower percentage beverages. As we push forward into cannabis beverage services we need to find a way to cater both to the light consumer with lower tolerance, and to the heavy consumer with that high tolerance. There has to be a place for the light beer drinker and for that deviant that needs their double whiskey neat. Don't disregard the deviants!

I recently had the time to pull reviews from all the platforms we sell our peanut butter cups on. 4.99/5 star average rating out of hundreds of verified reviews. Formulating products is one of my favorite parts of running Chomp! Chocolate. No prior food experience, just takes curiosity + self-education + obsession. #vegan #cpg #dtc #veganbusiness #vegancompany #dtcbusiness #cpgcompany #peanutbuttercups #chocolate #cpgbrand #dtcbrand

Thank you BRĒZ, Aaron Nosbisch & High and Dry Ltd for for addressing this important issue. I've been curious why it seems the narrative focuses only on large cannabis MSOs as the enemy, while tiptoeing around the elephant in the room. The alcohol powerhouses are working tirelessly behind the scenes to undermine emerging hemp beverage businesses. Alcohol IS the enemy. If you think differently, that's cool too—I’d love an open dialogue to share perspectives. Living in Louisiana, I’ve had a front-row seat to how "Good Old Boy" networks, businesses, and politics operate. Being married into a family whose livelihood has traditionally come from bars and alcohol but now includes THC beverage sales, I have a unique perspective. When I say alcohol is the enemy, I mean the powerhouses, not the craft breweries, and not the alcohol points of sale like bars, restaurants, grocery stores, or liquor stores. Distributors have told us they can't carry THC beverages, only to confide, "We want to, but certain alcohol companies have threatened to pull their products if we do." THC brands have shared that they've been excluded from shows and events because "the largest sponsor (insert large alcohol company here) would pull their sponsorship dollars if we included THC, which would effectively cancel the event." I could go on for days about this. I’m working on an article that should address this more precisely and clearly than my 5 AM ADHD rambles ever could. My DMs are open to anyone who wants to chat more on this topic!
