“If it’s intoxicating, it’s harmful.”
By Anna Kaminski, Kansas Reflector
Although Kansas remains one of the last states in the nation without legalized medical or recreational marijuana, the THC-infused drink has eluded official scrutiny.
The issue of the legality of the drinks came up during a meeting of the joint legislative committee on safety on Thursday.
Robert Stuart, head of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, explained to lawmakers that while marijuana is illegal in Kansas, THC-infused beverages are considered hemp products and are allowed under the federal Farm Bill of 2018, which legalized cannabis plants that contained no more than 0.3 percent of a plant’s weight of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Products created using hemp are usually advertised as Delta 9 items, and may have a weaker effect than marijuana due to their lower THC content.
Rep. Pat Proctor, a Leavenworth Republican, asked Stuart, “Should we outlaw it?”
Yes, Stuart said, and he bet the KBI’s attitude would be the same.
“If it’s intoxicating, it’s harmful,” he said.
THC beverages are restricted to adults 21 and older, just like alcoholic beverages.
“You hear all kinds of social arguments and all kinds of ways of thinking,” Stuart said, “but it would be much clearer for any of these distributors, any of these vendors, any member of the public to say, OK, this is what’s clearly illegal and what’s clearly not.”
The blurred lines make it difficult for retailers to comply with state laws, for consumers to know the products they buy are safe and for law enforcement to conduct criminal investigations, Stuart said.
Kansas City, Missouri-based brewer Boulevard Brewing Company this month announced a THC-infused version of its signature Quirk seltzer, to be called “Berry Jane.” It will be available in two doses. One with 5 mg of THC and the other with 10 mg, separated by a darker can. It is expected to go on sale in Kansas and Missouri next month.
The The KBI earlier this month celebrated a major crackdown on THC productsraiding 10 showrooms in six cities across the state. KBI Director Tony Mattivi said the products were harming Kansas children.
The The Kansas House passed a bill to legalize medical marijuana In 2021, and a special committee made recommendations to Parliament last year, but Republicans have blocked the legislation from moving forward. It could come in the next session, before the 2026 government elections.

Twenty cannabis growers from all over Europe and the world recently gathered in Austria for another industry event: a one-day invitation-only masterclass on cannabis propagation, hosted by Fluence, one of Europe’s largest cannabis clone producers, at the Flowery Field in Vienna.
The day included lectures, live demonstrations and a rare guided tour through a facility that is usually closed to outsiders. “It was a good mix of practice and theory,” says Fluence’s Theo Tekstra. “In the morning we had a theoretical block, then we had an in-depth tour of the tissue culture laboratory and the mother plant and reproduction areas, and in the afternoon a practical workshop. Everyone saw and participated in the whole process.”

Historical installation
Flowery Field was founded by Alexander Klima, a former law student who noticed that Austrian regulations discriminated between plants and their uses. In practice, this means that cannabis can be sold as an ornamental plant, as long as it is not harvested for consumption.
What started as a small shop selling houseplants along with cannabis cuttings, has since become a major production site, with a hundreds of square meters of mother plant and tissue culture laboratory where eight technicians work every day. The company now focuses entirely on cannabis clones, supplying customers in Austria and neighboring countries, often with same-day delivery to selected locations.
Standardized expansion
For Franz Joseph Sima, Fluence’s long-time propagation specialist, the masterclass aimed to show how standard procedures transform the mother and clone phases of cannabis production. “Many producers still have challenges in the expansion phase,” he said. “At Flory Field, these processes have been refined over twenty years. We wanted participants to see how a consistent and commercially viable system works in practice.”
The workshop covered everything from mother plant maintenance and replacement schedules, to light intensity, watering and pest management. The attendees received the full procedure afterwards. “The only condition,” says Franz, “was to be there.”

From tissue culture to mother plant
Participants followed the entire production chain, from tissue culture and virus testing in the laboratory, to cutting and preparation of clones. Flowery uses PCR testing to ensure cultivar stability and purity, a practice more common in pharmaceutical or ornamental horticulture than cannabis.
“The contrast was striking,” says Theo. “You have this sterile white lab on one side, and on the other a fully commercial clone factory based on the mother plants. Seeing both under one roof gave people a real sense of scale.”
Opening the doors
One of the main takeaways from the day was the atmosphere of openness. “In the Dutch horticulture industry, growers thrived by visiting each other and sharing knowledge,” says Theo. “In cannabis, everyone tends to close their doors. Events like this are a step to change that.”
The small group format helped. What began as quiet observation soon turned into a back-and-forth of ideas, with growers comparing notes, solving problems, and sharing their methods.

Interest in the event exceeded expectations, Franz and Theo both say, and Fluence is already considering repeating the format. “We can do another show in the same place, and maybe even one in the US. It’s something that people can clearly see. In cannabis, very few cloning procedures have been proven for a decade or more, so showing something that has stood the test of time makes a big difference.”
For one day, Flowery Field opened its doors, its laboratories and its mother rooms to a small but focused group of professionals. “In a sector where practical knowledge tends to be kept close to the box, that alone was worth a visit,” concludes Theo.
