Millennials and Gen-Zers Shock Big Alcohol and Tobacco with Demographic Shifts in Recreational Use and Wellness
Embracing new trends in recreational use and wellness
Julian Hall, a millennial embracing new trends in recreational use and wellness, is associated with the Kushtown medical beverage industry, which became legal in California in 1996. In 2016, California made recreational cannabis use legal for adults aged 21. Julian is driven to create beverages and products that support wellness. “Kushtown was developed out of hearts of compassion for the care and well-being of his grandma, aunt and mom who suffered from breast cancer. I’m no doctor, but I saw the benefits.”
Less Smoking. Less Alcohol
Julian notes that: “Millennials and Gen-zers are shocking big alcohol and tobacco by choosing alternatives such as Hemp or Cannabis-based drinks or products that they see as supporting wellness.” Younger generations (and boomers) are increasing consumption of products that they believe better support general wellness, relaxation, focus, energy, and sleep, with less smoking and less hard alcohol. Fox News reports that “Gen Z Americans are drinking less than previous generations…and compensating with cannabis, which in excess could lead to serious health complications…because of health and hangover-related concerns…” Also, “A report from Berenberg Research found that Gen Z respondents were drinking over 20% less per capita than millennials did at the same age. Furthermore, 64% of Gen Z respondents anticipated that they would drink alcohol less frequently…” The United States’ non-alcoholic beverage industry is valued at approximately $760 billion as of the end of 2022. Non-alcoholic drink revenue in the U.S. amounted to $447.38 billion in 2022.

State of the Debate
In its referenced report, Fox News warns that high-potency cannabis use as potentially very dangerous (Cannabis Use Disorder or CUD). However, low-potency beverages are the common configuration available in California-licensed dispensaries, and they come with low-dosing mechanisms. As research studies continue, the wellness applicability of HEMP and Cannabis will be better fine-tuned.

Legalization Is Better, Here’s Why
Illegal means unregulated and unknown product safety. If legalized, regulations mean better controls of quality, potency levels, dosing, and truth in advertising. Illegal is dangerous. Legal is safer.
As an illegal and unregulated industry, illicit behavior flourishes, and criminals become the participants, not licensed and regulated businesspersons.
As a legal industry, governments gain from tax monies needed for the betterment of society. However, governments need to quickly learn how to moderate regulations and taxes to avoid destroying the industry (for the little guy) from within its legal structure.
