In this episode of the Bioactive Podcast, Dr. Riley Kirk and Dr. Miyabe Shields dive into the world’s largest study on infused cannabis beverages, exploring how cannabinoid-based drinkables are transforming wellness, social drinking culture, and public health. They sit down with Tyler and Kevin from MoreBetter who designed and executed this groundbreaking study.
They break down the study design, participant demographics, and key findings, including data showing a reduction in alcohol consumption, improved sleep and mental health outcomes, and insights into why consumers are turning to cannabis beverages as a safer, more accessible alternative.
The discussion also gets technical, unpacking how emulsification and formulation science influence onset, absorption, and overall product efficacy. Whether you’re a formulator, researcher, or just a curious consumer, this episode brings evidence-based clarity to one of the fastest-growing segments of the cannabis industry.
This conversation is more important than ever right now as hemp beverages are about to become illegal with the new legislation around THC in hemp products.
