Market Insights Snapshot
CQ (Cannabis Quencher) is concentrated in Beverage at 99.38% share and ranked 3 in Beverage in Michigan, with Beverage up 25.77% year over year but down 1.59% month over month; Edible holds 0.62% share, growing 10.22% year over year and 69.85% month over month. With overall brand sales up 25.66% year over year and average price up 14.17%, the August 2026 mix signals a Beverage-led engine that is absorbing a small but accelerating Edible contribution, implying the brand’s growth is being driven by volume gains within Beverage while a nascent Edible line is testing traction.
The divergence between a 1.59% Beverage month-over-month dip and a 69.85% Edible month-over-month surge, alongside a 3rd-place Beverage rank in Michigan, indicates CQ (Cannabis Quencher) can protect its Beverage position while selectively expanding where Edible elasticity supports a ~$9.12 price point; the 14.17% average price increase paired with 25.66% year-over-year brand sales growth suggests pricing is not suppressing demand in core Beverage while leaving room for premium or format-driven trials in Edible. This pattern implies the brand’s positioning should lean into Beverage dominance to defend rank 3 while using the fast-growing but tiny Edible base (0.62% share) as a low-risk channel for innovation and cross-sell that could incrementally diversify revenue without diluting the Beverage identity.
Competitive Landscape
CQ (Cannabis Quencher) ranks #3 in MI Beverage in August 2026, climbing 4 positions year over year from #7 to #3, and matching its peak rank of #3 in August 2026; this puts it behind Mary Jones holding steady at #1 with a 3.97% YoY sales uplift and Keef Cola fixed at #2 with a 4.66% YoY increase, while it stays just ahead of Highly Casual rising from #6 to #4 on 47.51% YoY growth and well in front of Chill Medicated moving from #9 to #5 on 118.91% YoY growth; the combination of a 4-rank YoY ascent and a stable #3 position over the last three months signals CQ (Cannabis Quencher) has consolidated a durable top-three foothold that will require incremental share gains to dislodge the #2 incumbent.
Notable Products
Mountain Mist Soda (100mg THC, 12oz) posted the steepest move in August 2026 with a -14.8% month-over-month drop while sliding to rank 9, contrasting with Dr. Quencher Soda (100mg THC, 12oz) up 17.0% at rank 2. Ginger Ale Soda (100mg THC, 355ml, 12oz) dipped -4.6% but held rank 1, and Caffeinated Classic Cola Soda (100mg THC, 12oz) declined -5.0% at rank 4. With all ten top products in Beverage and multiple sodas clustering in the top 4, the pattern implies CQ (Cannabis Quencher) is leaning into classic soda anchors while volatility in flavors like Mountain Mist tests depth of demand.
Watermelon Lemonade Live Resin Shot (100mg THC, 2oz) grew 15.6% at rank 3 against Old Fashioned Lemonade Live Resin Shot (100mg THC, 2oz) down -8.8% at rank 5, while Blackberry Lemon Lime Live Resin Shot (100mg THC, 2oz) added 12.0% at rank 8.

The split between rising shots and mixed soda performance implies CQ (Cannabis Quencher) can shift promotional weight toward fast-moving shot flavors while using flagship sodas to stabilize basket size around $66,047 at the category-leading Ginger Ale Soda.
