Marijuana infused "hop drinks" set to be all the rage in Korat

[webfact]

Picture: INN

 

INN reported from Nakhon Ratchasima in Thailand's Isaan region (NE) where a producer has seven marijuana infused drink varieties ready for market. 

 

They are expecting to sell 20,000 bottles a day, far exceeding expectations. 

 

This comes after the goverment eased restrictions on the once class 5 drug on June 9th.

 

Monkhol Srithamma, the owner of Hop Beer House, said he always fancied the idea and researched the issue during the waiting period before the regulations came into force. 

 

Now his ganja infused cola, honey lemonade, CBD water and "Hoppy Refreshers" are expected to fly off the shelves. 

 

He claims his products will reduce stress and help insomniacs. 

 

He did his market research at his Hop Beer Houses and the customers loved the non-alcoholic alternative to beer. 

 

Monkgol explained that his products still need to be rubber stamped by the Thai FDA but as soon as that happens he'll be able to supply 20,000 bottles a day. 

 

He wasn't worried about the products being consumed by youth as they contain only minor amounts of marijuana and conform to all health ministry requirements.

In other words then not worth buying

Another wide-boy fleeces the gullible. 

Well, at least they're getting sugar and water for a fixed price, so not a total fraud.

Marijuana infused 'anything' set to be all the rage countrywide.  Most not doing anything.  Trend followers will follow the pack, no matter what.

How can the expected number of bottles to be sold exceed expectations?

I guarantee you this, the day will come, and soon, that who ever came up with this de-legalising marijuana idea willy nilly will  regret this very much...

Erm...if they are expecting to sell 20,000 a day, then selling 20,000 a day is meeting expectations.

You would have said the same thing when prohibition was lifted.

At least now some of the billions wasted on chasing and imprisoning users can be put to far better use.

I guarantee you the opposite.  Its all positives, to economy, people serving time for a Plant, and countless knock on effects.

But like most TV (AN) forum posts, we diverge from the Original Topic at hand very quickly ????

How can the expected number of bottles to be sold exceed expectations?

Maybe using the same mathematical formula that TAT uses for tourist expectations?

[unblocktheplanet]

Hm, no-buzz beer, then... IME, ganja is a great substitute and/or adjunct to hops.
