Background on Delta-8

Delta-8 is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in hemp plants. Similar to “weed”, it is psychoactive; however, consumers describe the effect of Delta-8 as more of a body buzz, making it more similar to the effect of alcohol spirits.

As hemp-derivatives, Delta-8 products are federally legal in the United States under the Farm Bill (2018) , as confirmed by the Ninth Circuit of the Court of Appeals in May 2022. This Court of Appeals decision provides legal certainty to retailers, distributors and online sales platforms that hemp-derived products, like Green Monké Delta-8 sodas, can be sold on the same shelves as beer and other RTD cocktails.

As a result of the legal certainty, the Delta-8 industry has grown dramatically over the past year. Brightfield Research reports that more than $2 billion of Delta-8 products were sold in 2021 and 2022, exploding from an essentially non-existent prior sales base. Further, Brightfield projects sales of Delta-8 products to continue to rise at a CAGR of greater than 150% over the next four years. This is the next hyper-growth category of adult beverages!

You can find Green Monké Delta-8 drinks at your local smoke and vape shops, select independent retailers and online at www.greenmonkedelta8.com
