MIAMI, July 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bhang Inc. (“Bhang” or the “Company”) (CSE: BHNG), a trusted cannabis house of brands with an extensive, award-winning portfolio of over 100 cannabis, hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) and terpene products, announced that its full line of award-winning hemp-derived CBD products are now available at the Cannabis Now flagship store in Beverly Hills, California.
Through its partnership with Cannabis Now, consumers in Beverly Hills will have access to Bhang’s wide variety of hemp-derived, all-natural CBD products, including chocolates, vaporizer oils, gum, isolates and lip balms. Since 2010, Bhang’s products have been developed for conscious consumers while maintaining all the cannabinoids, terpenes and essential oils of the original plant in order to help support the body’s endocannabinoid system.
“As CBD has progressed into the mainstream conversation around the wellness movement, consumers are increasingly looking to get their hands on these non-psychoactive products to explore how they can improve their daily lives. Bhang is always looking to develop new CBD products and work with different partners to deliver these exciting products to curious consumers,” said Scott Van Rixel, Chairman & CEO of Bhang. “Beverly Hills has long been a hub for health-conscious consumers looking to enhance their well-being through holistic, natural products and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with Cannabis Now to offer an additional avenue for consumers to access our CBD line.”
Cannabis Now, a digital and print publisher of cannabis news and culture, opened a flagship Los Angeles store on May 3, 2019. Located in the Beverly Connection shopping center across from the upscale Beverly Center mall, the 2,800 square-foot Cannabis Now boutique does not sell THC products in the street-facing store, which neighbors established retailers Target, Nordstrom Rack, and CVS.
Bhang products are available at over 1,000 locations across the U.S. where the collective market for CBD sales is projected to surpass $20 billion by 2024, according to a new study by BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Research.
“We recognized that people are eager to learn more about CBD but there was a drastic lack of reliable information and spaces available for interested consumers to comfortably explore this new product. This desire for knowledge inspired us to open our own Cannabis Now store as a center for those interested in these natural products,” said Eugenio Garcia, founder of Cannabis Now. “Bhang has a well-earned reputation for delivering great tasting, consistent products and we are thrilled to be adding their full CBD line to our stores.”
