February 21, 2022 – 10:32 am

Over 80 exhibitors and hundreds of visitors participated in the first-ever North American conference dedicated to cannabis drinks


To see where the future of the legalized cannabis industry is headed, look no further than the first-ever Cannabis Drinks Expo in San Francisco. The event, the first of its kind dedicated to the emerging marketplace for cannabis drinks, attracted a sold-out audience of enthusiastic supporters for a red-hot market category. More than 80 exhibitors filled the trade show floor of the South San Francisco Conference Center, while hundreds more attendees participated in a dual track of presentations, talks and panel discussions featuring some of the biggest names in the legalized cannabis world.

Kicking off the Cannabis Drinks Expo was keynote speaker Jeff Maser, President and CEO of Tinley Beverages. In his presentation, Maser discussed the major challenges and opportunities facing participants in the cannabis drinks industry. Following this keynote address, Bill Silver, the CEO of Cannacraft, gave an inspiring introduction to the world of cannabis drinks. In “Grass to Glass: Tapping the Market for Cannabis Beverages,” Silver outlined what is both similar and different to other drinks products, as well as the reasons why cannabis is poised to become an entirely new category of drink with strong momentum for future growth.

Of course, the cannabis industry remains one of the most regulated in the nation, with a patchwork quilt of different laws and regulations for every state that has legalized recreational marijuana. Thus, one focus throughout the daylong event was how to deal with the convoluted legal challenges of the cannabis space. To help participants understand the current legal and regulatory landscape for cannabis, attorney Rebecca Stamey-White, partner at Hinman & Carmichael LLP, gave a presentation on “Selling and Distributing Drinks: What’s Different For Cannabis?”

In addition, a major highlight of the afternoon session of the Cannabis Drinks Expo was a panel discussion moderated by attorney Omar Figueroa: “Cannabis Regulations Across Boundaries.” Until every U.S. state legalizes recreational cannabis, any company looking to launch, develop or grow a cannabis drinks product will need to have a very detailed understanding of what is – and what is not – allowed in every single geographic region where they plan to do business.

In addition to legal issues surrounding the cannabis space, there are also a whole host of medical and scientific issues that still need to be resolved. As part of the diverse crowd of participants that the event attracted, a number of scientists and medical professionals took part in the Cannabis Drinks Expo. For example, one morning breakout session featured a panel discussion on dispensaries that was moderated by Dr. Arup Sen, CEO of Infusion Biosciences. And one afternoon breakout session featured Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky President & CSO of Industrial Sonomechanics LLC explaining the science behind water-compatible cannabis extract nanoemulsions.

Once it is possible to understand the science of cannabis, that’s when you can fully leverage your creativity and originality to come up with truly category-changing products. To illustrate that point, world-renowned mixologist Warren Bobrow (also known as the “Cocktail Whisperer”) gave a presentation on cannabis-infused cocktails. And later in the afternoon, Rachel Burkons, Co-Owner of Altered Plates, led a panel discussion entirely dedicated to the world of cannabis drinking and dining. Popular trends within the world of food and drink, the panelists suggested, could be coming to the cannabis drinks space as well. For example, the “farm-to-table” movement is now giving birth to a similar “crop-to-kitchen cuisine.”
The Cannabis Drinks Expo also dedicated significant time and attention to marketing, brand-building and brand development. For example, in the afternoon session, cannabis mixologist John Korkidis Cannabis mixologist, Educator, and Founder of Proposition Cocktail Co. explained what’s happening in the world of communications and media for cannabis drinks brands. Adam Miron, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer at Hexo, talked about the mainstreaming of cannabis beverages.

In addition, Narbe Alexandrian, President of Canopy Rivers, provided an overview of where the “smart money” (e.g. venture capital firms) is investing its money when it comes to legalized cannabis. And Eric Schnell, Co-Founder and President of Mood33 Cannabis Infused Sparkling Tonics, gave an inspiring presentation on next-generation cannabis infused beverages. The future of the cannabis drinks category, he pointed out, is really only limited by our collective imagination. We’ve already seen tonics, seltzers, cocktails, beers, wines and even coffees that have been infused with cannabis. So what’s next?
NBC Bay Area interviewed CDE Exhibitors about how they made cannabis infused drinks ‘dope’ for consumers

And, of course, the Cannabis Drinks Expo featured a very active exhibition trade show floor. Throughout the course of the day, it was possible to meet vendors, exhibitors and potential partners from across North America. This was the place to be in order to see the development of a major new consumer goods market. Some of the big-name exhibitors included Rebel Coast Winery (the first and only cannabis-infused wine company), Southern Distilling Co., Cannacraft, Tinley Beverage Company, Caliva, and Weedka (high-quality, cannabis-flavored vodka). On the exhibition floor, it was possible to get a preview of some of the most innovative and original products in the marketplace today.

By the end of the day, the hundreds of participants at the first-ever Cannabis Drinks Expo had a very good idea of how to get started in the cannabis drinks category. A full day of presentations led to new insights and ideas while networking opportunities on the trade show floor led to new partnership ideas. Already, plans are being put into place for next year’s Cannabis Drinks Expo, which promises to be bigger and even better, packed with even more exhibitors and world-class products.

How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in the US

February 21, 2022 – 10:26 am

https://cannabisdrinksexpo.com/en/blog/insights-68/how-to-get-a-medical-marijuana-card-in-the-us-115.htm

Medical use of Cannabis is legalized in 33 states of the US. Follow these procedures to get a medical marijuana card.

Thousands of years ago, cannabis was used as a medicine in India, China, and Egypt. Irish Physician, William Brooke O’Shaughnessy, came to India in the late 1830s. He was introduced to cannabis during his stay in India. He documented a number of medical applications of cannabis due to its analgesic and anticonvulsant effects. After his brief study in India, he returned to England in 1842 with a supply of cannabis. He then spread his knowledge on the medical effects of cannabis, which widely spread across Europe and the United States.

In the United States, medical cannabis is illegal today at the federal level, due to Cannabis being a Schedule 1 Drug under the Controlled Substance Act. Under Federal Laws, Cannabis is considered to have no legal medical use. It is considered to have a higher chance of substance abuse than medical usage. As of January 2019, the Medical usage of cannabis is legalized in 33 states, District of Columbia and four U.S. territories. Fourteen other states have more restrictive laws limiting THC content, for the purpose of allowing access to products that are rich in cannabidiol (CBD) – a non-psychoactive component of cannabis.

In order to use cannabis medically in the United States, a patient needs to possess a medical marijuana card issued by a certified medical practitioner or doctor. A medical marijuana card allows a patient to obtain, possess or cultivate cannabis for medical use. In order to obtain a medical marijuana card, a patient is required to pay a fee to the state. In most states, the validity of this card is 12 months, after which it needs to be renewed. The card usually needs another evaluation by the doctor and is required to pay card fee again which costs less than initial registration. The different states have different requirements for obtaining a medical marijuana card.

Here some steps you need to follow to get a medical marijuana card.

Local Laws and Regulations

You must be aware of the local rules and regulations of your state on getting approved for a medical marijuana card. Each state has its own medical marijuana approval process which varies from state to state.

Residential Proofs

Residential Proofs is a must to prove your residency in the state. The documents which are allowed include a driver’s license and/or a passport, as most states will require you to be a state resident to qualify for a medical marijuana card. Without having some form of residential proofs, you won’t be able to move forward.

Medical Conditions

In order to obtain a medical marijuana card, you need to know health conditions that are usually permitted. State’s health and human services office will provide a list of medical conditions that qualify for a marijuana card. Typically, diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, Autism, Cancer, Crohn’s disease, Epilepsy, Glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, PTSD, Seizures, Wasting syndrome etc.

Doctor`s Recommendation

You are supposed to acquire a recommendation letter, approved by your physician that medical marijuana will help alleviate the pain and/or discomfort of your specific health condition.

Medical Documentation

Majority of the states demand medical records to list any illness, disability, or injury that would be alleviated through the use of marijuana. Generally, the consulting physician will need to work directly with a state’s department of health and/or human services to file the correct paperwork.

Renewal Process

Medical marijuana card has a limited validity. It needs to be renewed based on local state laws and regulations. Once the card is expired, you need to apply for renewals.

Every state has different laws on a medical marijuana card. In the future, we would be coming up with a blog on laws on medical marijuana state-wise.

Celebrating San Francisco, The Birthplace of Medical Cannabis

https://cannabisbusinesssummit.com/2020/02/26/celebrating-san-francisco-the-birthplace-of-medical-cannabis/

San Francisco is best known these days as a hub of technology and innovation, but not many people know that it also holds tremendous historical significance to the progress of cannabis legalization. The City by the Bay, which has attracted disruptors since long before the invention of the smartphone, also happens to be the birthplace of the medical cannabis movement. And If not for a small group of misfits – including members of the LGBTQI community – advocating for patient access to marijuana during the 1980s, we might not have a legal cannabis industry today reportedly worth $30 billion.

The Father And Mother Of Medical Cannabis

At the same time that President Ronald Reagan declared the war on drugs in 1982, kicking off the enforcement of harsh drug laws that helped drive mass incarceration and the disproportionate arrest of people of color, AIDS was quickly becoming a public health crisis. In the early days of the epidemic, when patients were spurned for both being gay and having the disease, Vietnam veteran and gay activist Dennis Peron started giving cannabis to friends and loved ones in San Francisco’s Castro District – the neighborhood where he lived. Peron saw firsthand that cannabis offered relief from nausea, pain, dangerous weight loss, and other symptoms experienced by AIDS patients, and through his compassionate giving, he swiftly became an advocate.

He would find a kindred spirit in Mary Rathbun, a waitress at the local IHOP who was in her sixties when she started baking medicated brownies for patients. Known in the community as Brownie Mary, both she and Dennis became frequent targets of local law enforcement due to their actions, which only motivated their activities further. Together, Peron and Brownie Mary in cooperation with a cohort of community activists starting paving the way for what would become a push for legal access to medical cannabis.

In 1991, Dennis and Mary helped organize the passage of a city resolution allowing for the permitting of medical cannabis. Proposition P passed with 80% of the city’s vote, making the arrest and conviction for personal medicinal use, possession, or cultivation of cannabis a low priority for San Francisco law enforcement. Peron soon thereafter opened the San Francisco Cannabis Buyers club, the nation’s first cannabis dispensary. Five years later in 1996, Dennis and Mary were among the co-authors behind Proposition 215 – also known as the Compassionate Use Act and Medical Use of Marijuana Act – the legislation that would make California the first state in the nation to legalize medical marijuana.

Today, the San Francisco Bay Area remains highly influential in the broader cannabis industry. In addition to being the home to multiple cannabis brands and dispensaries, in 2019 the city became the first in the nation to allow cannabis sales and consumption at a major music festival.

Be A Part of History

Join us in commemorating the National Cannabis Industry Association’s 10th anniversary when the Cannabis Business Summit arrives at San Francisco’s Moscone Center on September 29 – October 1, 2020. Founded in 2010 after the release of the Ogden Memo – in which the Justice Department directed prosecutors against using federal resources towards the prosecution of patients and caregivers operating in compliance with medical marijuana laws – NCIA was founded by policy reform leaders Aaron Smith and Steve Fox as the only trade association at the time centered on the cannabis industry.

The cannabis industry has grown with leaps and bounds and this has impacted the display case business as well.  Over the last 10 years most of the custom made display cases our company manufactures are for the Cannabis and Vape industry.  Our display case designs have made us the leading online designer and manufacturer of high quality glass display cases for this incredible niche market.

COVID-19 Impact on Cannabis Packaging

COVID-19 Impact on Cannabis Packaging


Cannabis packaging is no different than any other industry in the world right now being impacted by COVID-19. It is eye-opening to see that such a devastating pandemic can affect businesses in such diverse ways. Many industries like cannabis, deemed essential, are benefitting from the spikes in demand while trying to find creative ways to supply, package, and distribute.

Cannabis dispensaries have had to learn to adapt to the “on-the-go, carry-out, drive-thru“ format and find creative ways to make their product available to customers in need. The packaging preferences have experienced fluctuations due to customers and patients feeling the need to stockpile supply to cover for the uncertainty of quarantine and lockdown. Consumers are looking for a wider variety of sizes and different formulations while regulators have relaxed delivery boundaries and expanded territories to allow further reach to customers not able to visit dispensaries. This has forced growers to adapt their packaging for e-commerce, delivery, and various other formats.
Security and compliance have never been more critical than now with customers and patients relying on manufacturers to provide a safe, regulated product they can trust.

made and those packaging manufacturers with strong regulatory backing (FDA compliance) who have already been certified are faring well in a supply chain only supporting essential operations. Without the ability to view, compare, and shop the product in the dispensary — shoppers are forced to rely on the credibility of their brand of choice. Child-resistant availability along with label accuracy and transparency is of paramount importance when the product is delivered or picked up curbside.
Not all is doom and gloom; the increased demand is certainly positive but poses challenges for the growers to understand how to forecast and plan for the ebbs and flows they are suddenly experiencing. Consumers are definitely seeing the value of knowing exactly where their product and packaging are sourced, and the industry is seeing a trend toward more on-shore production which is great for the U.S. economy. Sustainable options are still in great demand and this pandemic has certainly shed light on the value of controlled recycling which creates a more stable source for Post-Consumer Resin for plastics and drives manufacturers to look to local suppliers to partner on returnable, reusable options.
Unfortunately, no one is protected from the effects of this pandemic, but the fact that we are all in this together certainly helps motivate the industry to look for the positives, capitalize on the demand, and identify the lessons we can carry forward to make us all better suppliers to this rapidly emerging industry.
Be A Part Of The Conversation
Sustainability Considerations for Cannabis Packaging is one of many topics we’ll be exploring at the National Cannabis Industry Association’s Cannabis Business Summit, happening September 29 – October 1, 2020, at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in the birthplace of the medical cannabis movement, the industry’s largest and most influential trade association offers cannabis business owners and operators the opportunity to network with industry leaders, discover products and services to help grow their business, and explore insights.
During these difficult times our company fully understands the need to assist all other businesses to succeed and this also requires for us to drastically drop our pricing to stay competitive during these very challenging times.
