Weed Beer? Canadian invests in world’s first marijuana brewery

Oh this is a new space as a Canadian company will invest in the world’s first marijuana brewery.

Beer is old school. Really old. Like proper old.

As Canada is set to become the second country in the world to legalize the class-B drug for recreational use, Province Brands has figured a unique way of bringing cannabis-based products to the consumer market.

In fact, it has invested an eye-watering $38 million in what will be the world’s first cannabis brewery.

Dooma Wendschuh, the co-founder and CEO of Province, told Ruptly:

We felt like brewing this beer was something that had to be done.
For generations, alcohol has had a monopoly as the only psychoactive for social and leisure activities and, with the legalization of cannabis, there was an opportunity to create for the first time ever a safer and healthier alternative to alcohol and if you are going to that what better format than a beer?

Wendschuh said making the cannabis beer is essentially free as it is made out of parts of the plant which would otherwise have to be paid for by farmers to be disposed of as waste.
