The Boston Globe spoke with Strategies 64 partner Mason Tvert for its coverage of a local mayoral candidate who is holding fundraiser featuring a cannabis-infused meal.
Mason Tvert, a cannabis consultant and longtime evangelist for cannabis legalization, said he could see campaigns hosting more THC-laced meals in the future. Cannabis has gained more social acceptance alongside its new ubiquity in the public square, a trend he thinks would continue if and when it is legalized at the federal level.
With time, more people of voting age will have grown up in a time when cannabis sales have been legal, and for whom the chance to pop an edible in the company of a local politician is enticing.
“As it becomes more legal and more widely accepted, we’re sure to see candidates or businesses or organizations take steps to reach out to that audience,” he said. “There are some people who might be attracted to an open bar. Some might be attracted to a cannabis- infused meal.”
