The Revolution is Being Noticed.
The Best THC Drinks That Taste As Good As They Make You Feel

Snoop Dogg and Warren Bobrow are business partners who collaborate on Iconic Tonics, a line of functional and cannabis-infused beverages. Bobrow, a critically acclaimed mixologist, created the Klaus brand of THC and non-alcoholic drinks for the company.
Snoop Dogg formed Iconic Tonics in partnership with Harmony Craft Beverages in March 2025. The company aims to disrupt the functional beverage space with a portfolio of innovative brands.
Warren Bobrow, known as the “Cocktail Whisperer” and a six-time published author, is a master mixologist and co-founder of the Klaus brand within the Iconic Tonics portfolio. He developed Klaus as a premium line of THC-infused and non-alcoholic (NEIN by Klaus) libations, focusing on terpene-forward, layered, and sophisticated flavors.
The collaboration features several beverage lines available in various markets, including New York and New Jersey, and nationwide for the hemp-derived versions.
Klaus: A collection of ready-to-drink, THC-infused libations with 10mg of THC per can, made with premium ingredients like live rosin.
NEIN by Klaus: A non-alcoholic line featuring botanical terpene infusions, offering a premium adult beverage experience without the alcohol.
Other Iconic Tonics Brands: The broader portfolio includes Snoop Dogg’s other brands like “Do It Fluid” (hemp-infused) and “Doggy Spritz,” as well as “Love Yer Brain” with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips.
The drinks are available through online retailers like DoorDash in select areas, and in stores such as Total Wine & More.
Hemp-infused drinks provide an accessible entry point for drinkers who want to try Dry January, at least for now. Despite causing three million preventable deaths annually, alcohol remains the world’s most legal and accessible drug. Meanwhile cannabis, which has caused zero deaths by itself, is often prohibited.
This dichotomy in drug policy is fueling a cultural shift, especially among younger generations adopting “Cali Sober” lifestyles by choosing safer alternatives. The data clearly shows that global drug laws are a failed system based on a dangerous double standard rather than public health evidence. People are starting to take matters into their own hands with Dry January and Cali Sober lifestyles.
Dry January And The Looming Ban On Hemp-Infused Drinks
This Dry January I’m focusing on non-alcoholic beverages (NA) and those that are infused with hemp or cannabis. This is an opportunity to get educated on these products and experiment with them while you still can. You may not be able to access them next Dry January.
The U.S. Congress recently passed a ban on intoxicating hemp products that goes into effect on November 12, 2026. Unless that legislation is changed, all of the hemp-infused drinks mentioned in this column will be banned. I encourage readers to experiment with these products between now and November.
While I do mention specific brands, these are not “recommendations” but “introductions.” I don’t review brands or products, but I do educate folks on certain companies my experience informs me can be trusted.
The world of NA and hemp-infused drinks is vast and readers should do their own research and engage in the fun process of trial and error. Get some friends together, purchase a few different brands, and have a tasting session. That’s the best way to learn about hemp-infused and NA drinks.
Please note that some states have already banned hemp-infused drinks and consumers may not be able to order directly from the websites listed here in those areas.
How Entrepreneurs Are Building The Hemp-Infused Drink Market
The NA and hemp-infused drinks fall into a few different categories. Some are savory, some are sweet. Some try to imitate beer or other alcoholic formats enticing consumers with familiar flavors. Others go the sweet route and make soda formulations. Still others are differentiating themselves with no-calorie seltzers or hop waters.
Then there are those that are making spirit-type drinks consumers mix with their favorite tonic water or other mixer. These are more interactive and allow end users to adjust the flavor profile and dosage to their liking. If mixing things up is your thing, this may be the ticket for you.
Non-Alcoholic Beer And Hemp-Infused Hop Waters Explained
For those readers who prefer no hemp in their NA drinks, the brand FLVR! may be a good place to start. They brew real beer, too, so they have expertise with the taste profile. Their NA brews had a frothy head and went down smooth. They offer multiple hop levels in a variety of flavors for every palette.
High Bridge is another well-made brew and tea brand, they also make a cucumber seltzer water. These are infused with less than 10mg of Delta-9 THC in each can but potency varies by SKU so read the label carefully. Nano emulsion technology ensures rapid onset and all their products are 5-25 calories per can. They do interesting collaborations with folks like actor Jim Belushi and Realm Of Caring, an educational nonprofit the brand supports.
Fabric is a B Corporation drink brand that makes low-dose hemp-infusion hop waters. They range from zero THC to 10mg per can, depending on the flavor. The brand was born in Australia but made in the USA. As a B Corporation, they donate a portion of their revenue to nonprofit organizations.
Why Hemp-Based Spirits Appeal To Dry January Drinkers
Musician Willie Nelson is paving the way in the hemp spirits category. His brand Willie’s Remedy is a spirit product that has a subtle blend of lemon, lime, passionfruit and cannabis flavor. Mix it up with your favorite mixer over ice this Dry January. This is a low dose (5mg) per serving spirit that you sip rather than gulp. The brand also makes shots and seltzers for those that prefer finished formats.
NA spirit brand The Pathfinder uses hemp in their proprietary fermentation process but the final product contains zero intoxicants. A number of other botanicals are used like angelica root, wormwood, and saffron. This gives it a complexity that is perfect for home mixologists to experiment with. The brand also has a negroni flavor and espresso tonic for those who don’t want to mix their own. Their website will show you where you can get The Pathfinder at a traditional bar so you can imbibe with friends who may stay wet this January.
Why Hemp-Infused Seltzers Are Surging During Dry January
Cycling Frog is one of the leading brands in the hemp-infused seltzer space. They sell other infused formats like capsules, gummies, mints, and even a chocolate chip cookie mix. This brand has a large range of potency in their product line so be mindful and read the labels.
One of the early movers in infused seltzers is Calexo. Calexo is an art and design collective of BIPOC, LGBTQ, women and allies coming together to delight customers. If supporting these entrepreneurs aligns with your values, this brand checks those boxes.
Cantrip is another infused soda brand that also has an elixir for those who like to mix up their own. One of the leading brands in this vertical, they have a Dry January special on their website that allows folks to mix and match their products at a discount.
In fact, most brands have some kind of Dry January special happening making this month a perfect time to experiment and save a few bucks.
The Rise Of Adaptogen-Infused NA And Hemp Drinks
Adaptogen-infused NA drinks are increasingly popular. Often infused with healing mushrooms like Lions Mane or Reishi, these drinks emphasize wellness not intoxication. Each brand has unique formulations that include different adoptogens and botanical ingredients like kava, ginseng, or maca. Brez is one leading brand in this space—they also make hemp-infused versions of their offerings. Their products drink easily and activate the immune and nervous system in the body.
Hiyo is another pure NA brand (no hemp) that has various botanicals to try. Their flavors lean towards the tropical and the sweet. Perfect for warm weather or lifting you out of the winter blues. Their informative website does a nice job of educating consumers on their formulations and botanicals.
Opportunities And Risks For Hemp Drink Entrepreneurs
If you’re an entrepreneur who wants to get into the NA, adaptogen, or hemp-infused space, there are a few producers worth looking into. Master mixologist Warren Bobrow has been doing it longer than most. He has his own cannabis-infused drink brand called Klaus that’s available in select dispensaries in New York and New Jersey, but he also formulates as a freelancer. Bobrow has numerous connections with white label manufacturers.
Douglas Fulton and his The Brand Accelerator group offer entrepreneurs a full suite of drink services from formulating to branding to distribution. Fulton has brought dozens of brands to market out of his facility in Long Beach, California. He has a relatively low cost way for owners to get into the game.
Earl Giles out of Minneapolis has an impressive mixology laboratory within their large distillery and restaurant. Just about every flavor and legal botanical extract on the planet is represented in their facility. They have deep experience as formulators and chefs helping entrepreneurs through every step of the process—they also offer concept-to-market services. Their cost barrier to entry is also modest.
What’s Next For Hemp-Infused Drinks After Dry January
Dry January is a perfect time to explore NA and hemp-infused drinks. Readers should poke around, experiment, and have fun discovering what works for them. Entrepreneurs should always do due diligence as there are a large number of mixologists and white label producers to choose from.
This month is about making safer choices, moderating or eliminating alcohol intake, and ensuring no one gets behind the wheel of a vehicle when impaired. NA and hemp drinks can help folks stay dry this month and give everyone the opportunity to learn about these products all year long, or, while they still can.

Vibe: Culinary, layered, and sophisticated. Your foodie guests will be thrilled.
“I’m just giving people what they want. We’re giving them choices, somethin’ real, somethin’ that vibes with their lifestyle. It’s about creating that alternative, that go-to, for every occasion. Cannabis has been a part of our culture forever. Cannabis, these drinks, it’s all about wellness, about living your best life,” Snoop Dogg says in an exclusive interview. When he talks, he still lands his message like a direct hit on the zeitgeist, with candid words rooted in decades of cultural sway.
Earlier this year, the rap legend stepped into new territory once again. This time, it’s not music or film, but a full-on dive into functional beverages with Iconic Tonics, a portfolio of seven hemp- and cannabis-infused brands. Think of it like a supergroup album: each drink is a soloist with its own flavor, personality and vibe.
Functional Beverages On the Rise
The timing could not be sharper. Analysts value the U.S. functional beverage market at around $50 billion, with projections climbing toward $62 billion by 2027. Globally, the category already surpasses $220 billion as health-conscious consumers shift away from sugar-heavy sodas and high-proof booze.
Cannabis beverages are one of the fastest-rising segments in this mix. Forecasts suggest the global cannabis drinks market could rocket from $2 billion in 2023 to more than $117 billion by 2032, with U.S. sales alone topping $80 billion. For Snoop, it is about catching that wave early and making sure it rides in style.
Gen Z is already leading the shift, drinking 20% less alcohol than Millennials did at the same age. The result has been a surge in non-alcoholic sparkling waters, adaptogenic tonics and hemp-based seltzers. Iconic Tonics fits right into that landscape.
Behind the Brand
At the center of the project is Evan Eneman, co-founder and CEO of Iconic Tonics. His history with Snoop goes back over 15 years, starting in the music world before evolving into cannabis ventures. Together, they helped launch Casa Verde Capital in the early 2010s. By 2018, Eneman shifted toward functional drinks, sensing an opening for innovation beyond alcohol.
“We’ve been grinding for six years in an ever-changing landscape,” Eneman says. “We believe in craft, we believe in building a purposeful foundation first, and we want to uplift and inspire people with healthier options.”
That vision eventually crystallized into Iconic Tonics: a portfolio designed not around one big flagship brand but around a constellation of smaller, targeted ones. “A single brand can’t capture the full range of consumer preferences,” Eneman explains. “Growth depends on the collective shift in how people frame ‘social drinking.’”
The Iconic Tonics Lineup
Like a festival lineup, each brand in the portfolio speaks to a different audience:
Klaus, craft mocktails guided by mixologist Warren Bobrow
Herbacée, a wine-inspired creation from sommelier Jamie Evans and entrepreneur Cynthia Salarizadeh
Malus, a cider crafted by a master brewer
Lifeblood by Love Yer Brain, imagined with Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips
Lift, hemp-infused seltzers designed for balance and relaxation
Do It Fluid and Dogg lbs Doggy Spritz, Snoop’s own hemp-derived THC brands blending his cultural weight with Harmony Craft Beverages’ expertise
The idea is to cover every base, from mocktails to cider to seltzers to THC spritzers, all under one umbrella. Or, as Snoop puts it: “We went from rollin’ up joints, to munchin’ on them edibles, now we sippin’ on infused drinks. Why? We giving people options for every occasion. Most people can’t smoke everywhere, and edibles do what they do. But drinks? You sip, you feel it, nice and easy. You can pace yourself, keep it mellow, keep it smooth. It’s like a chill cruise, not a high-speed chase. Plus, it’s discreet and you can mix it up with all kinds of flavors. Iconic Tonics, that’s the next wave, believe that.”
Celebrity Power, Market Momentum
Snoop is not alone in staking out this new frontier. Other cultural heavyweights including Seth Rogen, Gwyneth Paltrow and Big Freedia have also leaned into THC- and CBD-laced drinks. But Snoop’s approach stands apart: not just a single product, but a full ecosystem of beverages built to meet consumers where they are.
And the market is following. Retailers like Total Wine & More and delivery platforms like DoorDash have begun stocking cannabis or hemp drinks, with DoorDash recently explaining its cannabis and hemp strategy.
For Snoop and Eneman, the bigger play is cultural. They want cannabis drinks to become as common at parties, concerts and home fridges as craft beer or hard seltzers. “Game recognizes game,” Eneman says. “If we do this right, it’s not just a product, it’s a movement.”
The Next Wave
The market will ultimately decide how fast cannabis beverages go mainstream. But Snoop Dogg is not hedging. By bundling multiple brands into one portfolio, he is betting that functional drinks will reshape how people celebrate, relax and socialize.
And if history is any guide, from “Gin & Juice” to Doggy Spritz, when Snoop sets the tone, culture usually follows.

One day, while Warren Bobrow, famously known as “The Cocktail Whisperer,” was enjoying a drink, an idea struck him that would change his whole career. For years, he had perfected the skill of creating cocktails, becoming a renowned mixologist with an extensive knowledge of spirits and taste. However, at that instant, he understood that the future of beverages lay not in alcohol but in drinks infused with cannabis. Drawing from a rich foundation in culinary creativity and a personal relationship with cannabis in his wellness regimen, Bobrow felt compelled to develop something revolutionary: a cannabis drink that matched the elegance, taste, and purpose of the best cocktails. Thus, Klaus came into existence—a brand that fuses his enthusiasm for mixology with his affection for cannabis, providing a completely fresh kind of drinking adventure.
The rise of cannabis beverages stands out as a major wellness trend leading into 2025. What was previously viewed as a niche market is now becoming mainstream, with an increasing number of individuals selecting cannabis beverages as a healthier, alternative method to relax and improve their well-being. Klaus is leading this change, establishing the benchmark for what constitutes a premium cannabis drink. Through meticulously developed recipes, premium ingredients, and an emphasis on intentional consumption, the brand provides an elevated drinking experience that emphasizes both the ritual and the outcomes.
Let’s learn how Klaus is redefining cannabis beverages with innovation, craftsmanship, and a commitment to mindful indulgence!
From Cocktails to Cannabis
Bobrow’s path to creating Klaus is anything but ordinary. A child of the 1960s, Bobrow’s career began in the film industry, where he earned a degree in film at Emerson College. But his true passion was always in food and drink. He left the film world behind to apprentice as a chef, eventually owning a successful pasta business in Charleston, South Carolina. However, when Hurricane Hugo struck, his business was lost, and he found himself starting from scratch once again.
This time, he turned to banking. Spending nearly two decades in the corporate world, he worked his way up the ladder. Yet, he describes those years as “soul-sucking” and deeply unfulfilling. “It was not one of my shining achievements in life,” he admits. But in hindsight, those years provided him with the financial security to explore his true passions when the time came. And that time came sooner than expected.
After leaving the banking world behind, Bobrow returned to the culinary and spirits industry. Today, as CEO, Chief Flavorist, and Co-Founder of Klaus, he channels his deep mixology expertise into crafting cannabis beverages that redefine the drinking experience. He also became a renowned mixologist, author, and educator, earning a spot in the prestigious Saveur 100. He also became a rum judge for the Ministry of Rum and spent years attending Tales of the Cocktail, a celebrated event for industry professionals. But it wasn’t until 2018 that he made a life-changing decision: he walked away from alcohol altogether. A regular cannabis user for over fifty years, Bobrow realized that cannabis could offer a more therapeutic and mindful way to experience a drink. That’s when the idea for the cannabis beverage brand was born.
A New Chapter in Cannabis Beverages
Klaus is not just a brand; it’s a reflection of Bobrow’s unique journey and philosophy. The company’s mascot, an ancient German “drinking” gnome, has traveled the world with him as a companion on his many adventures. Klaus represents both the joy of indulging in a good drink and the rich traditions of sharing stories over a well-crafted beverage.
The creation of the brand was Bobrow’s way of combining his expertise in mixology with his love for cannabis. Unlike many cannabis beverages on the market, Klaus is crafted with the same care and attention to detail as a fine cocktail. Bobrow wanted to create drinks that didn’t just offer the effects of cannabis but also delivered an enjoyable and sophisticated experience. “The drinks I prepare are the best they’ve ever had,” he says with pride, referencing the high standards he sets for each of his creations.
The Art and Science Behind Klaus Beverages
What truly sets Klaus apart is the marriage of art and science. Bobrow approaches cannabis-infused beverages the same way a top-tier mixologist would approach a cocktail—using the perfect combination of flavors, textures, and effects. The key ingredient is hash rosin, a cannabis extract made without solvents that retains the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes, giving Klaus its distinctive flavor and potency.
The attention to detail in the beverages is evident in every sip. Bobrow has made it a point to avoid industrialized ingredients or shortcuts, instead focusing on fresh, high-quality products that enhance the flavor and experience of each drink. His philosophy is simple: “Quality over quantity.” This commitment to excellence ensures that the product isn’t just another cannabis drink on the market—it’s an experience meant to be savored.
Overcoming Challenges and the Future of Klaus
Like many entrepreneurs, Bobrow has faced his fair share of challenges in building the brand into a successful venture. While the company has won multiple awards, including a gold at LA Spirits and several Clio Cannabis awards, he admits that the financial side of the business has been tough. “It’s all financial,” he says. “All those accolades don’t put money in your pocket.” But despite these hurdles, Bobrow remains confident about Klaus’s future. “This is going to be a massive success. I just know it.”
Looking ahead, Bobrow has big plans for the cannabis beverage company, especially in New Mexico. “We are seriously fixated on New Mexico,” he says, noting the state’s world-class cannabis industry, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. “The food, the people, the vast vistas—they all inspire my creativity.”
Impact on the Cannabis Beverage Industry
Klaus is more than just a cannabis beverage brand—it’s a movement. With a focus on quality, innovation, and responsible consumption, Klaus is setting the bar for what cannabis beverages can be. Bobrow’s expertise in mixology, his love for cannabis, and his commitment to creating the best products possible have combined to make the brand one of the most exciting names in the industry today.
As Bobrow reflects on his journey, he says, “Klaus is over one hundred years old. He was there before the trends and will be there long after others have gone back to their old life in corporate America.” Klaus, like the man behind it, is built to last. As the cannabis beverage market continues to grow, Klaus is poised to lead the way, offering a new kind of drinking experience that celebrates the best of both mixology and cannabis.
I’ve just returned from a few days’ trip out to the West Coast for business, and my two visits to dispensaries were both enlightening and concerning. First of all, the concerning part, but mostly from a cost perspective, what they are made of. Well, there really isn’t any way to tell what’s in there- aside from the marketing descriptions and the catch phrases like Resin and Distillate and Tincture- all solvent-rich extraction method concentrates from OK quality flower/stems/roots/sugar leaf and trim. In other words, the not-so-hot herbs are made into high-quantity distillates for use in edibles, beverages, and concentrates. With that said, I prefer products made with Rosin. Hash Rosin is preferable for what is called Nanotechnology. When you visit dispensaries, there is no real education in place to differentiate between the two, resin/rosin.
Why is there a difference?
Accessibility of Nanotechnology is the reason why you should be enjoying the high-quality edibles produced by companies such as Zen Cannabis (available in many states). But first, what is Nanotechnology and why is it important?
Bioavailability- how quickly the edible hits you, how strongly, and how predictably is essential. I want to know that a ten mg edible is going to have a specific “feeling”, each time, every time. I don’t want to get destroyed, nor do I want to have to “double up” my dose. The following is from the Zen Cannabis website:
Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. At this scale, materials display unique properties that differ from their larger-scale counterparts. These properties include increased surface area, enhanced reactivity, and the ability to penetrate biological membranes more efficiently.
Nanotechnology is used across numerous industries, from electronics to medicine. In medicine, it has revolutionized drug delivery systems, enabling precise targeting of diseased cells while minimizing side effects. In the supplement industry, nanotechnology enhances the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients, ensuring that the body can utilize them more effectively.
One of the key benefits of nanotechnology is its ability to improve the bioavailability of active ingredients. Bioavailability refers to the proportion of a substance that enters the bloodstream and is available for use by the body. By breaking down substances into nanoparticles, nanotechnology ensures they are more easily absorbed by the body, leading to more effective results.
The reason why nano technology is so game changing is quality and enjoyment. No one wants an unpredictable experience. Nano technology makes each dose an experience for the betterment of your well-being. I recommend this technology and hope you will find Zen Cannabis products to be to your liking.
Typically, I don’t enjoy edibles because of their bio-availability problems. And my personal experiences baking brownies or cookies are problematic because of dosing. No one wants to get wrecked!
Fine products like the Zen Cannabis line make it easy for me to have a predictable experience and enjoyment of cannabis in more formats.
Their vegan chocolate bar, helpfully segmented into perfect little ten-milligram bricks, is delicious! Even diehard chocolate fans (like me) will be charmed. Ten milligrams is just enough to take the edge off, but never lose reality. Unless you want to eat the whole bar, then it’s up to you!
I never have trouble sleeping, but I took a couple of the NiteNite gummies the other night and don’t remember a thing. Who am I? Oh, it’s not that strong, but the overall experience was of fast, deep sleep. Isn’t that the reason why you enjoy gummies?
The flavors are true to form, and the textures are natural and fun. This is a very eclectic company that makes high-quality products that are simply made—with love. It’s obvious!
And the enlightening part?
Being able to sleep on a plane coming back from SFO without much trouble… with Zen Cannabis gummies of course!
I’m fortunate to have a photographic memory for tastes and scents. This helps me in mixology because I’m influenced not by fast food flavors, but ones on a global basis. You see, when one spends a good amount of time traveling and not eating in American hotels, you tend to learn something about flavor and how memory fits into the equation of how flavors work together.
If you want another lazy seltzer, flavor and memory are unimportant. So no amount of concentrate is going to make that drink palatable. But take a craft beverage, add a thoughtful amount of the best ingredients that money can buy, and combine them in a way that unlocks memories of the first time you tasted a given recipe? That is what makes the efforts of Iconic Tonics resonate with not only your taste buds but your dreams as well. And that is what a good beverage does. It offers you an alternative to industrialized experiences. I come from Craft Spirits and although I don’t drink hard alcohol any longer and haven’t in some time, I will say that the art of mixology is never forgotten, just examine the work of Jerry Thomas! You could say he is a great influence upon me. And another person, Beach Bum Berry, who influenced a generation of Tiki Bars and party people. I am deeply influenced by the rum lore of the Caribbean and the Beach Bum Berry classic named the Zombie Cocktail is one of my favorites in the repertoire of rum soaked classics. I on the other hand have reinvented the classic, with Cannabis instead of rum- because there is nothing elegant about a Sailor’s Hangover. And a THC infused Rum punch, without the rum? Essential. You don’t need it. You won’t miss the rum, I promise!
A thing of Rare Beauty.
Why use the best ingredients? I believe we have a social responsibility to eat simply, drink healthier, and enjoy life- without liquor. At Iconic Tonics we are uniquely geared to the traditional reinventions of the classics of mixology and we are also able to harness your wildest dreams in flavor… To make your dreams come true as well. Why?
Because we dream in flavor and sipping our unique craft beverages and the very special ones, the ones we consult upon are magical in many ways.
We can make your dreams come alive, one sip at a time.
The only thing holding you back is your imagination!
A Simple LYB, a garage rock n’ roll, yet sailor-influenced Rum Punch- without the Rum… But with THC. And you decide how much you want. I wouldn’t go over 25 mg per drink, but then again, that’s up to you. Cheers!
I use the Ardent to decarb my cannabis (no more burnt batches) and I recommend the Levo2 to infuse the simple syrup with a crazy amount of ouid or Delta 9.
Ingredients for five or six thirsty lost rock and roll stars… who have been too long at sea:
4 oz. Grilled Pineapple Juice- Slice pineapple into rounds and grill until marked, cool and juice
2 oz. Each: Freshly squeezed tangerine, mango, orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit and sour cherry juice
1 oz. Orgeat – almond flavoring
3 oz. Demerara Simple Syrup, infused with THC
Good ice that doesn’t taste like the fridge. *put large cube ice trays in double freezer bags, no…… it won’t be perfectly clear ice, but then again it won’t taste like last week’s garlic pasta lurking in the back of the fridge…*
Angostura Bitters
Prep:
Combine all juices in a Boston Shaker with the orgeat (fill the shaker ¾ of ice)
Shake darned hard for fifteen or so seconds
Double Strain into a couple old fashioned glasses with a couple of your fancy ice cubes
Garnish with grilled pineapple spears
Dot with Angostura and serve.
How much THC? That is up to you, my friends. Don’t destroy yourself!
