Cannabis Drinks Challenge Big Alcohol, Ohio Ban Fallout, and Tools That Elevate the Ritual

Welcome back to PerryPhernalia, where we track cannabis culture, craft beer, and fine liqueurs—always responsibly, legally, and with style. Today’s headlines show how cannabis beverages are shaking up the alcohol industry, while Ohio’s ban continues to ripple. Then we spotlight three essentials that keep your setup sharp.

📰 In the News

Fast Company reports that cannabis drinks are stealing market share from beer and spirits, forcing Big Alcohol to pivot. Brands like Cann and Wynk are drawing consumers who want a lighter, social buzz without the calories or hangover of liquor. Analysts say this “replacement factor” is accelerating as younger drinkers shift away from traditional booze.

Meanwhile, fallout continues in Ohio after Governor Mike DeWine’s 90‑day ban on THC beverages and gummies. Local brewers like Seventh Son Brewing halted production of their Green Buddy line, even as lawsuits challenge the order. Advocates argue the ban ignores consumer demand and responsible labeling already in place. The standoff highlights the tension between state crackdowns and a booming national market.

Keep your flower fresh with UV‑blocking storage. Amber glass jars not only seal tight but also protect against light degradation, preserving potency and flavor longer than clear containers.

🍺 Brew & Spirits Spotlight

A proper muddler is the unsung hero of cocktails. Whether you’re crushing mint for a Mojito or sugar cubes for an Old Fashioned, stainless steel with a grooved head gives you durability and precision.
