Clearly the Jones team hastheir eyes on gummies too which I think is a good idea and I know that our LB plant is licensed for edible skus other than drinks but I doubt that we would tool for that.
THC beverages are ahead of the curve and by that I mean the sales outlet potential needs to be bigger than a few dispensaries.
I understand from a logistics point of view why Tinley would suck it in and concentrate on a few retailers and distributors but for them to achieve their full potential of being able to cannibalize light alcohol and beer offerings, we will need to be able to sell in bars and lounges. A lot of people that go to the bar for the alcohol, won't go to a dispensary or potshop but they would like the option of another vice, namely thc beverage skus and the non-alcohol drinkers would probably like a nice tasting CBD beverage rather than pop.
If some of the bar crowd consumes cannabinoid bevvies for pain relief, anxiety treatment or sleep, that could be a whole new crowd of patrons through the doors as patients that are self-treating, just like some are doing now that are in the know..
As we explore cannabinoids for health benefits it will sort out what cannabinoids and terpenes work best for what ails you and there is one that has potential for anti-munchie effects.
Less calories and sugar are why big alcohol is worried about losing their marketshare and most have positioned themselves for replacing their lost sales with cannabinoid deals with companies like Tinley's.
Adult style flavours, less calories and sugar, a little buzz or pain relief and no hangover. What's not to like???
I think Tinley is positioned for good success if our management haven't dropped our pants too far. Very little debt, not a huge sharefloat, State of the Art facility designed for cannabinoids that a lot of knowledgable people think have a good run ahead of them as the up and coming segment of skus for potpreneurs.
Getting the US politicians to deal with the harsh Federal criminal laws and take the risk out of them for serious good businesses players will be like firing the starter pistol.
Mary Jones Cannabis Company | Our Products (gomaryjones.com) It is hard for smaller players to lobby the politicians for the changes the industry needs but there are some of the majors that have lobbyists on their boards.
After the debacle that is Roe and Wade and the Gun lobby failure, the Republicans have shot their own foot off and coming up with some good pot legislation that could streamline a lot of what they have done wrong, like Interstate commerce, could make the difference between a win or a loss for either party.
7 or 8 runs at US outright legalization and the same amount of failures to get this passed is politicians doing their best to stay in business. Moving along at the speed of politics.
The potential is huge and look at what the first responders have done without banking, brokering, lending and all of the other tools that every other business has.
There oughta' be a law!
