About Us

The Cannabis Beverage Association (CBA) was formed by cannabis industry leaders who are pushing the boundaries of how we consume cannabis products. Through industry leading best practices and policy reform, we intend to revolutionize how cannabis is consumed.

The CBA provides a neutral forum in which members regularly meet to discuss common issues and establish best practices that elevate the industry as a whole. The CBA serves as liaison between the industry, government and the public, and provides a unified voice in legislative and regulatory matters. As the voice for the cannabis beverage industry, the CBA board includes legislative, scientific, technical, regulatory, legal and communications experts who effectively represent the interests of members.

We are committed to our community – The CBA works with its members and the greater industry to uphold the following in the beverage community.

Diversity and Equality
Inclusiveness
Reliability
Testing & Safety
Trust in Manufacturing
Safe Access

Ongoing Education

Keeping manufacturers, policy makers, and consumers up to date on the latest and most important information relevant to the manufacturing and consumption of cannabis-infused beverages.

Increasing Access

Cannabis beverages allow consumers to enjoy cannabis in a form they’re familiar & comfortable with. We believe that cannabis-infused beverages should be available beyond the tradition grab-n-go dispensary. The future should include onsite consumption at events, such as lounges, cafe’s and even nightclubs & bars.
