Just in time for Thanksgiving, drink maker Cann has created its own version of a turducken with its latest advertising. The celebrity-backed brand has stuffed an educational message into a comedy skit, layered in a public service announcement and seasoned with a thought-leader message.

Cann co-founder Luke Anderson collaborated with actor-comedian Paul Scheer for the long-form spot, which launched late Monday night on social media. The ad stars Scheer as an employee in a specialty store who tries to dispel some misconceptions about THC-infused beverages.
