Cannabis drinks are already an important business and they are growing rapidly.
When people think of cannabis, the first thing that comes to mind is usually smoking it, and then vaping it or eating it inside a food. Until recently, the idea of drinking cannabis was not really prevalent on radar.
But that's starting to change. For example, this summer in San Francisco, the beverage distribution network is organizing its first Cannabis Beverage Expo discuss canna-drinks, which should be a $ 1.4 billion market by 2023, according to Zenith Global. That's $ 89 million in 2018.
A wide variety of producers infuses CBD and THC in all kinds of beverages, including tea, soda, cider, Margaritas and wine, with a range of concentrations ranging from small doses of 2.5 milligrams of THC per container to high-dose doses of 100 mg per container. Rebel Coast Winery offers a non-alcoholic wine containing 5 mg of THC per glbad. MJ wines has infused cannabis into energy drinks, coffee and wine and is currently working on an IPA on hemp. Brands like Break, which raised $ 3 million from investors, sell soda water infused with hemp extract. The California dream & # 39; offers customers a "light and humming buzz" in fruit juices infused with 10 mg of THC.
A common point for many brands is that they are positioned in the category health and well-being. Most of them target their products on people who wish to be a boost of energy at noon, or a way to relax at night. Mood33 promises you a "personal aromatherapy session" in every bottle of low-calorie seltzer, consisting of 10 mg of THC and various herbs, flowers and fruits. Heineken has published a sparkling cannabis A drink called Lagunitas Hi-Fi Hops, is said to be "inspired by the IPA". It contains hops and THC, but no alcohol, calories or carbohydrates. In January, the New Age Beverage organic beverage company launched Marley + CBD Mellow Mood, presented as a relaxation drink with 25 mg of CBD per serving.
Last fall, even Coca Cola Rumor has it that discussions were underway to explore a range of CBD-based drinks, but the beverage giant has finally decided not to proceed – for the moment. A big problem for big brands like Coke is that cannabis is still a product Annex 1 federally, which means that it is clbadified as heroin, methamphetamine and LSD, and is considered to have no medical value. This designation has scared some brands. It is also difficult for companies to develop because they are subject to the rules and restrictions of each state regarding THC and CBD. Regulations on labeling, bottling and even concentration may vary from state to state, making it difficult to build brand identity.
And then there is the taste. Cannabis drinks are not the tastier drinks In fact, they have been described as having a "funky", "skunky" and "like a barnyard" taste. Unfortunately, the characteristic earthy smell of the plant is not good with fruit juice – or any other water-based liquid. This is because neither THC nor CBD oil is soluble in water, so they tend to float, adding a smelly and smelly layer to the drinks. This is one of the reasons why many canna drinks are rich in intense flavors like lemon and ginger and some add a lot of sugar or juice. It is hoped that progress on CBD and THC isolates, which are virtually odorless and tasteless, will help the drinks to make great progress in the department of tastes. A Canadian company thinks it already has the Solution: It is planned to brew beer directly from cannabis plants, instead of injecting it into the finished product.
It is also hoped that the 2018 Agricultural Invoice, which has legalized industrial hemp and its extracts, cannabinoids and derivatives, will allow CBD infused beverages to be nationally enforced so that brands can build their brand awareness and loyalty before cannabis. prohibition to be up soon.
In the meantime, the alcohol industry still decides if cannabis is a product threat or an opportunity. Some big companies, like Heineken, jumped on their feet. Constellation Brands, manufacturers of wines, spirits and beers, including Corona, has invested $ 4 billion in the Canopy Growth cannabis society. AB InBev, the owner of the Budweiser and Labatt beers, has invested $ 50 million in a partnership with Canna, Tilray, which has generated an additional $ 50 million for the research of non-alcoholic beverages containing THC and CBD.
Like the CBD, cannabis companies are seen as a means of presenting their products to wider audiencethese liquor companies view cannabis as a way of gaining access to traditional consumers. Yyounger drinkers require modern flavor profiles and many usually avoid alcohol, especially Beer. Cannabis-based beverages are also a way to attract new consumers who may be curious about alcohol, but who are not interested in smoking or eating the plant, or who are still worried about Stigma. Drinking cannabis offers a simple and discreet way of sampling.
In addition, canna-drinks bring a lot of money because they are not cheap. An 8.5 ounce bottle of Torrey Holistics Berry Lemonade with 100 mg of infused THC is $ 25; with the tax, that's more than $ 31 a bottle. At only $ 8 per 12 ounce bottle, Mood33 seems like a good deal. But consumers seem more than willing to shell out to make sure to stay "haughty".
