The Marketing Pitch: "Drinking this coffee is like riding a cool avalanche of pure deliciousness down a tall mountain and landing in an ocean of good feelings. You’ll swim off into a day of work or play filled to the brim with pure joy."

How could you do that? Is it not illegal to drive or work/operate equipment under the influence of alcohol/drugs in the US? Surely there'd be a disclaimer on the label somewhere..

I wouldn't do it unless I was kicking back or on vacation, but it's legal in Washington to be under the influence of marijuana unless you're driving with more than five nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood.

There will definitely be usage labels on the product, that's a regulatory requirement in the state. I don't know what they'll say, but I understand your point. It's one thing to be buzzed if you're working as a cook and another if you're operating a crane. Regardless of what the labels say, the employers' policies nd employment contracts probably have a prohibition against any kind of intoxication on the job (and possibly drug testing stipulations).

Kinda gotta expect that there will be some idiot who ignores the recommended usage, chugs a couple, and does something stupid or dangerous or puts it in a kid's reach. But, that can already be done with alcohol as well. Just like with alcohol, it boils down to the user being responsible and accountable for managing his own consumption.
