Restaurant chain tests cocktails infused with this compound ‘despite legal ambiguity’

Logan’s Roadhouse is shaking up its menu with a bold new experiment. The restaurant chain is currently testing THC-infused cocktails at 14 locations across Texas, looking to see if the rising consumer interest in hemp-derived beverages can successfully transition into the dining room.

The Details on the THC Menu

According to an article by Nation’s Restaurant News, these hand-mixed drinks feature Flora brand cannabis-infused spirits. Each serving contains 5 milligrams of hemp-derived THC, designed specifically for moderate, social consumption. Logan’s is rolling out three different cocktail options to meet the growing appetite for cannabinoid-infused drinks.

Navigating Legal Ambiguity

While THC beverages have gained significant traction in the retail space, the restaurant industry is just beginning to dip its toes in. As noted in a second article by Nation’s Restaurant News, restaurants are exploring these options despite lingering legal ambiguity and a lack of federal oversight. This market has been evolving since 2018, when the federal government legalized hemp, triggering a surge of THC-based sodas, seltzers, and mocktails across the country.

Safety and Pricing

To ensure responsible service, Logan’s Roadhouse has implemented a strict three-drink-per-person limit for these menu items. Patrons must be at least 21 years old to order, and each cocktail is priced at $9.99.
