Educate policymakers and consumers about cannabis beverages products and what it takes to bring them to market
The Cannabis Beverage Association (CBA) is a trade association established to represent and advocate on behalf of the producers and consumers of cannabis beverages. By educating policymakers and consumers, establishing standards for operators to uphold, and advocating for common-sense policies, we can ensure that the cannabis beverage industry delivers safe, high-quality, reliable products to the consumers who enjoy them.
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation evolves, the Cannabis Beverage Association and our member organizations are taking actions that follow federal, state and local guidelines. Our top priority remains the safety and health of the communities we serve.

Members also have the opportunity to be featured on our social media, provide content for publishing on the CBA website, and promote their business and expertise on CBA platforms.
I founded the CBA because I saw some real challenges that this nascent segment of the cannabis industry would face. Having been a founding member and elected president of the CCCA and participating in it’s successful grass-roots efforts shape the cannabis delivery segment of the industry and the regulations to the benefit of delivery operators and customers across the state, I pulled together my peers and friends in this space to cooperatively work towards more sensible regulations as well as educating consumers and policy makers on the amazing benefits of infused beverages.
With great opportunity, comes even greater responsibility, and I personally know all too well the pain, hardships, and inequality prohibition of cannabis has created. This sudden shift to a legalized market is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of historic change. But this change also requires a seismic shift in consciousness and awareness. As early adopters, and innovators, there are still many mountains that need to be moved to create equitable access, and cross the chasm to start the healing process. So I’m honored to accept the call to action, to lead by example as a CBA Board Member, serve others, and encourage all thought leaders, innovators, advocates from past and present to work together to be the change in the world we see now!
To leverage out united strength to highlight and educate the trade and consumers on the superior benefits of cannabis consumption through beverages.
The CBA’s mission and our core values at K-Zen closely align. At K-Zen, we are fighting to normalize cannabis through beverages and provide access for those who need it most. We are also big believers in sensible regulation and education, which are part of the CBA’s mission.
