WINE ENTHUSIAST: Will Cannabis Drinks Alter the Market for Beer, Wine and Spirits?

NOV 18, 2021

“Less than 40 years after anti-drug campaigns enlisted everyone from Zack Morris to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to scare kids away from marijuana, cannabis products are legally available in 19 states, Washington, D.C. and Guam. And, in places where recreational cannabis is legal, THC-infused beverages like Wunder, Cann, Keef, Kalo and Hi5 line retail shelves, often alongside beer, wine and other drinks.
