Abstract
An article published in Reuters last week noted that “big alcohol” is fighting back. Big cannabis is selling drinks. Alcohol doesn't like it. However, there is now a “if you can't beat them join them” attitude, as alcohol beverage brands want to enter the risky market of cannabis brands. While alcohol is considered unsafe, the restrictions on cannabis are much greater than those on alcohol, giving a possible window in terms of regulations. It's very risky to invest in cannabis, but hemp is less of a risk than pure THC. Still, one concern is children's access to hemp-based drinks.
