High times! CBGB to sell 'gourmet cannabis edibles'

Just noting a Help Wanted ad that Gothamist spotted at Eater:

CBGB is globally recognized as the birthplace of punk & new music. One natural expansion is into world of high-end, gourmet cannabis edibles. From the Bowery & Berlin to Red Rocks and The Gorge Amphitheatre; CBGB is a trusted curator for new experiences. This includes the exciting world of hand made cannabis treats.

We have developed a full line of edibles that will soon be available in 20 states but we need you to fine tune the recipes as we strive to set a new industry standard for quality, taste and originality.

Do you have the punk spirit? Can you speak well on camera and in the press? We want to hear from you!

  1. This is vomitous, simply execrable. Gourmet cannabis? Punk spirit? Whoever those are who thought up this idea, and who wrote this shit, move to Dubuque, please. Now.

  2. This is the most dumbass thing imaginable. I'm all for marijuana legalization. I think pot-infused baked goods are great! But what the fuck does either have to do with CBGB? This is so incredibly lame. Serious secondhand embarrassment.

  3. medical marijuana is real and the business opportunities great - get in now on the ground floor and use every chip you have to get ahead, that includes a known brand like cbgb.

  4. oh please, a herb does not need branding, why do you think marijuana has been illegal so long? Because the tobacco companies know we can grow it ourselves and will. CBGB branded pot brownies are for idiots. Period.

  5. I'm not saying I agree but its reality. Most people need to be herded like sheep and marketing is the shepherd that inspires movement. And frankly, I really don't have the expertise to make the pharmaceutical grade cannabis oil the market will demand for these products. Check out what is going on the West Coast. If you are undergoing chemo, you aren't going to buy some brownies from some yahoo who set up a table at the farmer's market who made a butter on his dirty stove top with moldy plant matter. You will be buying pharmaceutical grade cannaboids made under strict purity conditions. This is happening now in Cali and Washinton. Its very exciting and the death addict MSM does not in any way discuss the depth of what is happening out on the other coast..speaking from the Prohibition state of New York. As for the marketing for personal recreational use, will the herd make the effort to find a small organic farmer, or will they just pop in to the convenient store and buy a pretty container? If you look at beer as that model, how many people do you know that brew their own beer constantly - its a lot of work...
