Cultural icons Cheech & Chong have partnered with Rolling Loud, which is renowned as the "World's Largest Hip-Hop Festival," to introduce a THC-infused beverage nationwide. The drink is marked as the ideal companion for the festival season. Complete with vibrant and eye-catching can design, Pit Punch promises to elevate the music experience for attendees.
Each serving of Pit Punch contains 10 milligrams of hemp-derived THC. The full-flavored and alcohol-free alternative is also low calorie, ensuring appeal for individuals who are mindful of what they consume. Cheech & Chong and Rolling Loud make the THC-infused beverage available in two bold flavors — Fruit Punch and Orange.
