Verano Enters THC Drinks Market With New Easy Landings Line
Verano Holdings, a Chicago-based cannabis operator, launched Easy Landings, a line of THC-infused drinks. Available in 2-ounce bottles with 100mg THC, they will debut in Illinois, Arizona, Nevada, and New Jersey dispensaries. The company's CMO cited growing consumer interest in cannabis alternatives to alcohol and potential regulatory changes as factors in the launch. Despite upcoming hemp THC restrictions, Verano expects its products to remain viable in legal marijuana states.
