The cannabis beverage market in the United States is seeing increased activity from various providers. In early August, the New Mexico-based dispensary chain Verdes Cannabis introduced an in-house line of THC-infused beverages featuring fruit juices, purees, or brewed tea, with options containing 20 mg or 100 mg of THC.

Following this, Verano Holdings Corp. announced the launch of ‘Easy Landings’, its first dedicated cannabis beverage brand. This line consists of two-ounce, fast-acting THC shots in four flavors: Lemon Lime, Watermelon, Mango, and a THC and CBN blend called Black Cherry. Each bottle contains 100 mg of THC, designed with a capful to provide a 5-mg serving. The brand is scheduled to debut in late August across Arizona, Illinois, Nevada, and New Jersey.
