We’re a pretty grounded group around here. That is, we’re astoundingly pedestrian about our coffee. We consume great volumes of the stuff from the office’s double-barrel Bunn commercial-grade brewer that seems to automatically spit out a new pot every half hour. So we’re not among the more discriminating caffeine junkies chasing the newest trendy roast.
DUDE, IT’S IN THE BREW
A Denver-based company Jammin Java Corp. will soon be selling pot-infused coffee, according to a recent column in the Denver Business Journal. Pot coffee isn’t a new idea. Washington and California shops have been pushing medicinal brands since 2013. But Jammin Java, founded by music legend Bob Marley’s son Rohan, looks to be the first coffee company to test the Colorado recreational market.
Ironically, brewers of the new blends claim that the quality of the weed always takes a back seat to the taste of the coffee. The trick is solubility, according to James Hull, founder of Fairwinds Manufacturing, a Vancouver, Washington-based producer of marijuana products.
“It’s not as simple as spraying the coffee beans with the oil,“ explained Hull in a story published by on-line magazine Alternet. “We add ingredients that allow the cannabis oil mixture to become soluble with the water-based coffee.” Huh, who knew?
IS THIS A LEGAL BUZZ?
Coffee is life, especially in the office, right? Will this be a new favorite for the “wake and bake” crowd, or just a mellow pick-me-up for lovers of hip, new “drinkables?” And what of the legal questions and cultural impact in the office?
