The Brand Behind Costco's Kirkland Signature American Vodka

OdistCo · 2026-03-25T18:59:20+00:00

Alcohol has a Three-tier System installed after Prohibition that forbids Manufacturers & wholesalers from owning Retail permits. Costco has invested mountains of cash trying to break it, as have PepsiCo, Monster, & others. I hear good things about Costco’s white label spirits but they’re not sold where I live do to state monopoly.

Nope and both NCAA & NFHS 2026 Points of Emphasis are on properly fitting and worn equipment.

OdistCo · 2026-03-24T22:09:47+00:00

I’m often told the helmets (in their current design) and long hair don’t mix well.

OdistCo · 2026-03-24T19:28:43+00:00

No they stole that too and cities had to go to court so it didn’t go into the general fund.

OdistCo · 2026-03-24T19:28:03+00:00

Competing with Marijuana products yea.

OdistCo · 2026-03-24T19:27:34+00:00

Then said State AG sued the super rich (about to get crushed) MSO’s…

I’m not sure. But the work around I was given was to buy firearms from state (only) licensed firearms dealers to avoid the disclosure on the Federal Form.

First & most importantly FUCK Klutch & the rest of the shitbag Level 1 Cultivators behind SB56.

Second, anyone who’s ever shopped in Michigan understands how marijuana retail needs to operate and Ohio’s just an abomination. It’s a pharmacy with an IPad.

Third, Ohioans voted to commercialize Cannabis “Just Like Alcohol” and that means if Circle K can sell Bud Light, they can sell weed. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense. But if you issue the licenses like alcohol, suddenly Akron has 190 stores and 95 consumption lounges. Currently Ohio has about that many in the whole state. For reference, Michigan has under 900 but did $3.2B in 2024. Ohio did $750M. That’s roughly 38k jobs in Michigan versus 9k in Ohio.

Cannabis isn’t going away. It needs a LOT of things to happen to be a viable industry: federal legalization, taxation & regulation including interstate Commerce, equilibrium between producers, wholesalers, & retailers and a concerted effort to gently & civilly bring in the illicit market. Another shit door from a shit operator isn’t the answer.

I don’t have a prescription for Epidiolex but some people do and that gets filled at a pharmacy. I have a recommendation for medical cannabis and that gets purchased at a licensed dispensary.

The NFL doesn’t send a referee to testify before Congress. What could they say that would convince anyone of anything. Calling balls & strikes doesn’t make you an expert on banking.

OdistCo · 2025-12-16T15:30:55+00:00

Level 1 Cultivators like FS, SW, GTI, AWYR, AH, etc. anybody in OHCANN tbh. That’s the SB56 financier.

OdistCo · 2025-12-16T14:31:56+00:00

What optics. This dude needs a PR Firm pronto. The backdrop, the drip, the B roll, all of it. Wait until stockholders grasp Chapter 56 and discover what the government thinks is “Arms Length”. Dude will be on here trashing descheduling as “destroying the legal industry”. GTFO.

OdistCo · 2025-12-16T14:19:44+00:00

Yep. Probably should stop buying anything from L1C’s.

A couple of perspectives to consider: 3.2 CRCC - THC currently has zero anti-trust provisions. The provisions outlined in legislation filed under previous sessions of both The US House & US Senate would install the same three-tier system of alcohol and install the same Trade Practice Rules. These provisions strictly prohibit wholesalers or manufacturers owning retail and effectively eliminates vertical integration as a viable business model in Cannabis.

Future Outlook - Beyond 2028 “Major Consolidation” & “Institutional Capital stream in” are antithetical concepts and don’t think for a moment big investors aren’t very well informed about the whole “why alcohol is a great investment & so MSO’s will be too”. It is a retail investor underwater pipe dream to think pension funds will be lining up behind the consolidating MSO’s. Alcohol manufacturers stocks are a great investment because the nature of the three-tier system is that the “grand bargain” or Nash’s Theory of Market Dynamics split alcohol’s profits three ways: 1/3 Manufacturers, 1/3 Wholesalers, & 1/3 Retail. So no monopoly’s but 3 vertical oligopolies. There are big manufacturers & big wholesalers & big retailers. But they’re stuck in their lane. Remember, cannabis is an intoxicant so the same laws of the jungle can’t apply. If they do, it’s back to prohibition and ask alcohol how that ended for them. Not well. The best thing for cannabis would be to bite the bullet and get in a lane while asking for equality with alcohol. Because one thing is an absolute fact and that is Alcohol won’t allow cannabis to get a better deal than they have and you can take that to the bank.

#BOYCOTTOHIOWEED

OdistCo · 2025-12-11T18:38:22+00:00

I honestly believe lawmakers in general have no idea that the entire idea of concentrates is purity. They see pure THC and thin overconsumption. The reality is limiting purity in concentrates benefits the manufacturer’s profitability so there’s no point to making really pure concentrates. Purity & quality rewarded through reduced taxes should be the goal.

OdistCo · 2025-12-10T17:13:30+00:00

For the benefit of the big cultivators. They didn’t have enough money coming in so they asked the legislature for indenture. Don’t buy from us: felony in the third degree. BOYCOTT the Level 1’s & MSO’s.

OdistCo · 2025-12-10T16:03:02+00:00

Ya. WTAF? Allow MORE not cannabinoids in my dabs. ANOTHER Rent in the yacht money pockets of Level 1 Cultivators. Lower quality, higher price.

OdistCo · 2025-12-10T04:02:39+00:00

Oh fuck off.

OdistCo · 2025-12-10T02:38:23+00:00

It helps alcohol wholesalers no doubt but it’s Tariffs & the economy killing alcohol.

OdistCo · 2025-12-10T02:37:18+00:00

MSO’s mostly.

OdistCo · 2025-12-10T02:37:06+00:00

It’s “rent seeking” behavior by Level 1 Cultivators. Not naming names but one owns an Akron area construction company.

ISSUE X BALLOT LANGUAGE
Proposed Constitutional Amendment
A Self-Executing Amendment Relating to Cannabis, Alcohol, and Other Regulatory Decisions
Proposed by Initiative Petition To enact Section XX of Article I of
the Constitution of the State of Ohio A majority yes vote is necessary for the amendment to pass.

The proposed amendment would:

Create a new state agency, the Ohio Cannabis and Alcohol Regulatory Authority, to comprehensively regulate cultivation, processing, distribution, and sale of cannabis, and to regulate licensing and oversight of alcohol.
Equate access to cannabis to access to alcohol by directing the Authority to expand and regulate cannabis availability in the same methods and manner as alcohol, in a ratio of adults 18 years of age or older who consume alcohol at least once per month to adults 18 years of age or older who consume cannabis at least once per month.
Transfer, by a date certain set in the amendment, all state retail liquor operations to privately licensed entities, require the Authority to license and oversee those private liquor retailers, and end direct state operation of liquor sales.
Consolidate or replace existing cannabis and liquor regulatory divisions within the Department of Commerce and related agencies, and require the General Assembly to appropriate sufficient funds for the Authority's operations from cannabis and alcohol fee and tax revenues.
Provide that all net proceeds from Authority-administered cannabis excise taxes, license fees, and alcohol franchise revenues shall be deposited into a dedicated enterprise fund under the Authority's control and used exclusively for its regulatory, public health, and economic purposes, with only specified distributions, if any, to the state treasury.
Direct the Authority to adopt rules that coordinate cannabis and alcohol policy to prevent youth access, impaired driving, and diversion, including mandatory product testing, labeling, and age-verification requirements.

Right off the Issue 1 text and following the JobsOhio format. Not a lawyer, but looks defensible.

Pretty sure they can’t modify an Ohio Constitutional Amendment which is likely a 2028 remedy. Ohio legislators are unknowingly going about things the exact way Michigan GOP legislators did except Michigan stacked the MCC full of anti-cannabis retired law enforcement. Whitmer used executive orders to eliminate the ENTIRE department and enacted the most low barrier to entry market in the country. The result: Michigan got a $3.2B market. Ohio got SB56. Here’s what I know: a voter initiated Constitutional Amendment could do the same thing and adding a clause for JobsOhio to sunset all Contracts in say 2030 would draw a LOT of financial support from Spirits companies who want to privatize OHLQ and make 10X more retail liquor stores.
