Nashville Jams with THC Seltzer

Nashville’s nightlife is known for its fun, drawing countless bachelorette parties in pink cowboy hats and line-dancing tourists.

Whatever your jam, Nashville has it. With incredible bluegrass, rock, indie and of course country, Music City is sure to strike a chord with you. Nashville offers numerous music options, and now it’s putting a new spin on the music with a refreshing beverage option, Crescent 9 THC Seltzer.

A growing list of bars — including Exit/In, one of the city’s most famous music venues — are using THC drinks as the perfect drink for Nashville’s party scene.

“Exit/In is known for curating a diverse concert calendar that appeals to all music lovers,” said Jess Speer, the club’s general manager. “We would like our bar menu to complement this concept. With Crescent 9 THC Seltzer, we’ve added the same variety to our bar menu.”

Making their debut at their sold-out Hozier show in early May, Crescent 9 THC Seltzer caused quite a stir with exit/in crowds.

THC and the Music City

Nashville is ready to embrace cannabis. A 2019 poll of Nashville residents found that 94% supported legalizing marijuana for recreational or medical use. Despite the overwhelming support for marijuana legalization in the state, recreational and medical marijuana is still not legal in Tennessee.

While Tennessee’s marijuana industry remains limited, the hemp industry is thriving.

After Tennessee passed SB357 in 2019, hemp-derived THC products became officially legal in the state. To further support the hemp industry, the Tennessee General Assembly this year passed HB 403, which will further regulate and establish it.

“With the passage of HB 403, the Tennessee General Assembly has recognized the legality and presence of hemp-derived cannabinoid products in Tennessee,” said Attorney Curtis Harrington, Chair of the Tennessee Medical Cannabis Commission. “The bill provides a regulatory framework, which is good news for Tennessee. As a result, industry members can operate with clearer regulations and consumers can have more confidence in hemp products.”

Hemp products are federally legal if they contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC and meet federal regulations and the safety and potency standards of Tennessee’s hemp laws. Despite the limitations, the industry is thriving, with hemp-derived THC beverages in particular seeing an exponential rise in popularity.

Crescent 9 THC Seltzer

THC drinks allow for a deeper connection to music, enhance the taste of food, and reduce social inhibitions. They have the potential to enhance your Nashville experience.

One of the first Delta-9 THC drinks to be available in Nashville was Crescent 9 THC Seltzer, a low-calorie alternative to alcohol flavored with mango puree and natural fruit juices. Packed with 6mg of Delta-9 THC, 3mg of CBD, and a dash of caffeine, it provides a delightfully uplifting effect.

THC Selter acts quickly. You’ll feel the effects within 15 to 30 minutes and, like alcohol, you can enjoy them all night long. When the night is over, you can get a good night’s sleep and wake up without a bad hangover.

“Bars are always looking for new beverages to offer, and we’re seeing a lot of interest in cannabis beverages like THC seltzer,” said Jason Eskind, executive VP at Best Brands, Inc., a Tennessee beverage retailer. “It’s a win-win situation. Consumers gain access to safe, high-quality cannabis products and bars generate revenue from customers who choose not to drink alcohol.”

Exit/In was the first bar in Nashville to carry Crescent 9 THC Seltzer.

Best Brands Inc. began distributing Crescent 9 THC Seltzer in April, and the product is now available in dozens of bars, music clubs, and retail outlets across Nashville. If you are an adult living outside of Nashville, you can order Crescent 9 THC Seltzer online at CrescentCanna.com.

THC Seltzer is the next big thing for bars

The cannabis beverage market is growing rapidly. According to Fortune Business Insights, the value of this market is expected to grow from $915 million in 2021 to a whopping $19 billion in 2028.

This impressive growth is largely due to increased demand for beverages that satisfy non-drinkers. A 2018 national health survey found that one-third of adults in America don’t drink alcohol.

Bars across the country are embracing cannabis drinks as a much-needed alcohol alternative. Leading the way are cities like New Orleans and Nashville, which are known for their nightlife and are recognizing the potential of THC beverages to enhance their unique party scenes.
