***About Cannabis Drinks Expo***
“From hemp-based sports drinks to cocktails that get you high, science has finally cracked the code to making cannabis beverages that don’t taste awful”, quoted Jonathan Bloom from NBC Bay Area News. The first Cannabis Drinks Expo was a huge success that gave the worldwide drinks industry, and North America in particular, the chance to come together and look at ways it can address legalized cannabis.
Hosted by the Beverage Trade Network, this expo shined a spotlight on the skyrocketing legal cannabis market and provided insight into its future brimming with opportunity.
