For those who like smoking meats or maybe like smoking joints, there’s a new local product that infuses THC into BBQ sauce.
Southern Sky Brands, a Mississippi-based medical cannabis producer, has partnered with Jackson barbecue joint Pig & Pint to introduce “a first-of-its-kind line of cannabis-infused barbecue sauces.”
The first of which, a BBQ dipping sauce, became available on dispensary shelves statewide this week and comes in a six-ounce bottle containing 200 milligrams of cannabis, including 150 milligrams of THC.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Southern Sky Brands, the leader in medical cannabis in Mississippi, to bring patients a groundbreaking new product – THC-infused BBQ sauce,” Pig & Pint co-owner Chris Clark said. “By blending Pig & Pint’s award-winning, legendary BBQ flavors with Southern Sky Brands’ premium cannabis experience, this partnership offers a delicious and innovative way for medical patients to enjoy cannabis.”
Stan Martin, chief operating officer of Southern Sky Brands, echoed Clark’s excitement about the collaboration, saying the sauce is not only perfect to pair with everything from grilled meats to fries to vegetables but it’s also a perfect combination of flavor and personal wellness.
“Together, we’re taking BBQ to the next level with our innovative THC-infused BBQ sauce – a unique way to combine bold flavors with the wellness benefits of cannabis,” Martin said. “This collaboration celebrates the best of Mississippi – flavor, innovation, and passion.”
The sale of medical cannabis to those 21 and older began in Mississippi in January 2023, with around 50,000 residents currently holding cards. More information on Mississippi’s medical cannabis program can be found here.
