Tennessee’s first THC-friendly bar and restaurant opens

Tennessee’s first bar and restaurant serving THC opened today in Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood. The restaurant gets away with it because the THC in the products is derived from hemp, which the company says makes it federally legal.

Buds & Brews is the state’s first brick-and-mortar THC-friendly bar and restaurant at 1246 3rd Avenue in Nashville. “Buds and Brews offers a menu of upscale bar food paired with our own line of delicious cannabis-infused sauces,” the website reads.

In other words, the restaurant and bar serves American fare exclusively, but also offers over 25 THC-infused condiments for common dressings like ketchup, honey mustard, ranch dressing, steak sauce, but with hemp-derived THC in 1- 5- mg servings.

The restaurant will also feature recently launched cannabis-infused beverage coolers and sauces that contain hemp-derived THC. WKRN reports that you can select things like “Smokey Margarita” or “Bloody Maryjane.”

While cannabis is consumed at the bar, the products are divided into individual sachets and jars.

The coolers come in pouches in the following flavors: GrapeApe, LemonHaze, and Sweet Tea OG Kush. The sauces, on the other hand, are made with locally grown and extracted THC from hemp. Each sauce contains 5mg of THC in each jar.

Diners can choose from 28 sauces using locally grown and extracted THC from hemp. The culinary sauce line includes ingredients such as olive oil or the company’s specialty barbecue sauce.

Mike Solomon co-owns Buds & Brews with partner Dalton Crow and spoke to local media about what customers can expect.

“You can get chicken tenders and then order some THC ranch,” Solomon told WKRN. “What gets infused are the spices. We have the 25 most common condiments from ketchup, honey mustard, ranch dressing, steak sauce.”

Additionally, all products are made in Tennessee by Craft Cannabis Products.

“Everything costs 1 to 5 milligrams per serving, which is very small so you can try a lot of things,” Solomon said. “A novice, novice, or seasoned cannabis individual can have a fun time portioned microdosing here.”

“I’m looking forward to making my mark and I’ve teamed up with some great guys to do it,” said Dalton Crow. “We want to address everyone. We want everyone to try and come and give us a chance and try us.”

Currently, only hemp-derived THC can be served in establishments like Buds & Brews in Tennessee. A bill for adult use in the state recently failed to pass. The bill, dubbed the Free All Cannabis for Tennesseans Act, is effectively dead after its sponsor, House Representative Bob Freeman, pulled the legislation off the ground.

The Free All Cannabis for Tennesseans Act would have allowed the possession of cannabis and concentrate by adults 21 years and older and the “transfer of marijuana or marijuana concentrate between adults in permissible amounts without compensation” and the “cultivation of up to 12 marijuana plants by adults.” .”

It would also have opened medical cannabis options for minors under the age of 18 by “authorizing a parent, guardian or guardian to administer to a minor any marijuana product, excluding combustible products, over which the parent, guardian or guardian has legal authority.”

By then, recreational establishments like Buds & Brews have figured out how to operate within the confines of the law.

Buds & Brews will officially open on August 20th.
