30m · PublishedWe're all familiar with edibles, but what about drinkables? Cannabis-infused beverages are having a moment and consumers are thirsty for more.
Find out what people like, love, and never want to see again. Based on data from SoapBoxSample's CANNApinion Poll of 1,000 cannabis consumers (from July 2020), we explore consumer behaviors and preferences around "drinkables." Why are married men with kids more likely to try them? Why is infused wine more popular than beer? What's the most preferred flavor? What percentage of people are drinking alcohol and cannabis together? We answer all of these questions and more.

42m · PublishedFor every action there is a reaction, and for world events like the COVID-19 epidemic there are major ripple effects across all aspects of our lives. Some are really obvious, like the shift to telecommuting and shopping online. Others are more subtle, going mostly unnoticed unless we search for them.
The United States Cannabis industry will undergo a lot of change and adaptation, some right away and some slowly over time. The way consumers buy flower, carts, edibles, and all other products will change in some way. For business owners and industry workers, the way we work with partners, clients, and customers will need to be re-examined and perhaps even totally re-imagined for a post COVID-19 world.
In the premier episode of The Sticky Business Podcast, we start by looking big picture, at the second order effects of COVID-19 and how they will change our industry.
