Vice Ventures is investing in taboo industries that other funds won’t touch

Recess's CBD sparkling water sounds kind of cool, but its $5 a can! Yikes, that's one hell of a markup. I'd try it at half the price, and might be a customer at 1/3 the price, but $30/6pk is pretty wild.

Each can contains 10mg of broad spectrum hemp extract: high quality broad spectrum CBD oils are $0.80 for 10mg CBD (10mg of broad spectrum oil means the CBD content probably 5mg+/-3). Price compare with TonicVibes's 1500mg CBD (from whole plant extract) for $120 - best quality CBD oils I've found so far.

Even if the other herbs are extremely high quality as well, the margins on this product are insane.

CBD products in general are quite expensive, for example CBD extracts are similarly priced to their THC counterparts. I assume this is in large part due to marijuana prohibition laws. Prices will hopefully come down as those laws are relaxed around the country and more players enter the market.

There's some 50% off promos for Feals - check out the /Filmcast podcast notes. I recently ordered 2400mg for $120.
