THC beverages

An Ohio court has narrowed an injunction, halting a Cincinnati brewery from selling THC-infused beverages. The ruling limits the brewery's ability to offer hemp-derived drinks while litigation over the state's authority to regulate them continues. The case touches on the wider clash between Ohio's alcohol and cannabis regulators over who controls THC beverages.

NACS, the association for convenience retailers, is promoting an upcoming education session examining where THC-infused products, likely hemp-derived beverages, fit in store cold vaults alongside beer and other chilled drinks. The preview signals growing retailer interest in how cannabidiol and THC drinks should be merchandised, regulated and sold as the category expands across US stores.
