David and Crystal Spang, founders of Nine Dot Cannabis Beverages, share their eight-year journey in the heavily regulated cannabis industry. Starting with Coastal Green Wellness brick-and-mortar stores in 2017, they faced banking restrictions, social media censorship, and market skepticism in the Southeast. Their retail experience revealed that most hemp beverages missed the mark with five-milligram dosing—too strong for beginners, too weak for experienced users. Nine Dot addresses this with 3mg and 10mg options plus concentrated elixirs for cocktail mixing, using proprietary nanoemulsification technology for faster onset and more consistent effects regardless of genetic enzyme variations that affect traditional edibles.
