A new study from Culinary Visions found that although more consumers would prefer to enjoy cannabis-infused food and beverages at home, there is still interest in ordering them at restaurants.  The study found that 47% of consumers want food and beverages to serve functional purposes, while 48% also expect them to taste good.  Additionally, 37% of surveyed consumers reporting they would consider ordering a cannabis-infused menu item at a restaurant.  However, just 34% of women saying they would consider ordering a cannabis-infused menu item at a restaurant compared to 45% of men.  Its research found that it is more likely to gain acceptance in a full-service restaurant (36%) than in quick-service venues (26%).
