Welcome Note
Welcome back Gardeners!
This week I asked my communities: Do you think cannabis will eventually replace alcohol as the go-to social substance in the U.S.?
As you can see the majority of folks felt that they will continue to coexist. I am personally torn because while I do think alcohol is going to continue to have its place in society and the two will coexist, I also think Gen Z and even more so with Gen Alpha they are going to view alcohol in a similar light as we view cigarettes.
But I also know that alcohol has had a place in socializing for thousands of years and that’s a hard tradition to break.
Regardless of the long term play here, I think we can all agree that we want there to be options and we want to see cannabevs show up in the same venues as alcohol is currently found. That’s the dream anyway.
I am conducting a little survey/research into people’s experiences with these beverages. If you have 2-4 minutes to complete this survey I would greatly appreciate it! I am waiting until I have a good representative amount of people to release any of the responses. So check it out, share it, etc.
In case you missed it, I just launched a new podcast with David Gonzalez and the second episode was released last week! Be sure to subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get listen to podcasts. Also, be sure to rate us and maybe give the Youtube Channel a follow to if that’s your jam!
