There’s A New Marijuana-Infused Beer For All You Dopers

Dent7 years ago

Sick and tired of getting your craft brew on only to be subjected to a pounding headache the next day? Have you also ever gotten insanely high and thought about combining your two favorite vices into one glorious cocktail? Well, my friend, do I have a surprise for you. From the beer connoisseur that brought us the beer that for some reason made orange slice garnishes a thing comes the next big move in the drinking game, marijuana-infused beer.

From Reno Gazette Journal:

The inventor of Blue Moon beer is launching three marijuana-infused drinks that promise intoxication without the alcoholic headache.

The drinks, served chilled and initially only available in Colorado this fall, will contain no alcohol but will instead be infused with special marijuana formulas designed to mimic the effects of booze. Its developers say the drink will “hit” the user at the same pace as if they were drinking a beer.Marijuana-infused foods typically take at least an hour to kick in, making it harder for consumers to accurately dose themselves.

“This is really about brewing great beers that beer drinkers love,” said Keith Villa, who developed Blue Moon Belgian Wheat and worked for MillerCoors for 32 years. “You’d just swap out an alcoholic beer for one of our beers.”

You can’t be called an alcoholic if you’re really just downing a bunch of weed. Talk about loophole city. Finally, some scientific discovery that is actually worth a damn. Contrary to popular belief, I’m not some alcohol purist. I don’t care how I’m getting fucked up. I just know that by the end of the night I want to feel faded enough to suppress any doubt with my life choices. “State school was a good decision, old man!” That’s the level I need to be at.

Unfortunately, there are currently federal laws in place that keep us from getting a true weed/beer mashup. Something about the potent combo of THC and alcohol fused into one makes big brother nervous. Stick to dipping into your funbag of totally legal prescription opioids, I guess. Even so, this is one hell of a step in the right direction.

Taking a shitload of edibles and melting into my couch? Never again. But weed-infused beer? Worth a shot..
