Revolutionizing the Beverage Industry

The AFicioNAdo Cannabis Beverage Certification Program is the first of its kind, covering essential cannabis beverage topics such as product knowledge, regulatory compliance, and responsible consumption through a comprehensive curriculum. By completing this program, our sales team is equipped with the knowledge needed to navigate and succeed in this expanding segment.

Education is the Key to Success

"We believe in this category," said Melissa Johnston, Tryon Distributing Vice President of Strategic Development. “We believe that regulation will happen before the ban takes place, which is why we are willing to invest in this. As we work hard in pushing for regulation, one of the best things we can do is properly educate our sales team through a legitimate and vetted educational course."
