Cannabis beer: Does it have a market?

Seven years ago, Washington and Colorado became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana. Since then, that list of states and the size of the market, has only grown. Estimates say the legal marijuana industry in the U.S. will hit $13.1 billion in total value this year. In three years, that number is projected to climb to $22.2 billion. There’s brewing interest in something new: cannabis-infused beer. Barry Petersen reports.

    Yes its a market for it in every store across america! Yes glad they took the alcohol out of it because Alcohol has killed thousands of people world wide while marijuana has kiled no one anywhere! Facts!

    Who wants beer when you have cannabis? Wherever cannabis is legal, drinking declines. Alcohol is a dangerous drug that kills vast numbers of people. Cannabis has never killed anyone in at least 16,000 years.

    time to legalize in the whole world



  12. darkjqguar0969 on May 3, 2019 at 4:35 pm

    Here in Texas we have a lot of old farts Republicans who will oppose this beers. That’s a shame, since they make millions from alcohol and beer companies and are more far damaging to the human system.



  13. Alvicbar on May 3, 2019 at 4:37 pm

    time for all americans to get clear-eyed about cannabis. the next potus needs to run on full legalization in every state!

  16. Ganja Train on May 3, 2019 at 4:44 pm

    great share!



  17. Jim & Corinne Forever on May 3, 2019 at 4:50 pm

    This is great and all but we need federal legalization for people 25+ (your brain is fully developed at 25) with exceptions for medical treatment for younger people . Then law enforcement still gets to lock people for selling to minors and law abiding adults get lit πŸ”₯ and we get to actually study find which strands do what what all the different types of thc, cbd, ternpens and other chemicals actually do etc so everyone can get the right strand for them, win win
