June 4, 2024•Tilray Brands is extending its Good Supply label with Twisted All-In-One Vapes. The new vapes allow consumers to switch between complementary flavors or combine them for a “twist.” The combinations include Purple Monkey & Frozen Watermelon, Orange Swirl & Strawberry Freeze, and Mango Passionfruit & Guava Sunrise. Each Twisted vape is filled with 1.2g of flavored distillate for a total of 1,000mg of THC. The new Good Supply Twisted vapes are debuting across Canada this summer.
•Boston-based hemp THC beverage brand Kelia has rolled out its first products. They include Watermelon Coconut: Hydration Boost, including electrolytes and 5mg of hemp-derived THC; Pineapple Jalapeno: Immunity Boost, with 5mg of CBG and 5mg of THC; and Grapefruit Ginger: Metabolism Boost, with prebiotics, 5mg of THC, and 5mg of THCV. Kelia’s beverages sell online at $30 a six-pack of 12-ounce slim cans and are non-carbonated.
•Chris Alexander, executive director of New York state’s Office of Cannabis Management, resigned late last month, after Governor Kathy Hochul said he wouldn’t be reappointed at the end of his term in September. Appointed by Hochul in 2021, Alexander resigns in the wake of New York’s slow rollout of adult-use retail licenses, which has allowed illicit shops to thrive in the state. Hochul has called the rollout a disaster, with New York so far opening only 130 licensed dispensaries, compared with as many as 2,800 illicit stores.
•Multistate operator Curaleaf has introduced Select Fruit Stiq, a rechargeable 1-gram all-in-one cannabis oil vape with Berry, Citrus, and Tropical terpene blends. The Select Stiq hardware launched in Arizona, Utah and Nevada in Q1 to positive reception, the company says. The new Select Fruit Stiq is available in Sweet Strawberry, Blackberry Blast, Lemon Sunset, Key Lime Tide, Watermelon Breeze, and Go Go Guava flavors. The new entry recently launched in Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland, and is expected to debut in New Jersey, Florida, Nevada, Utah, Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri, pending regulatory approvals, throughout the summer. Curaleaf CEO Matt Darin noted rising market demand for vapes in announcing the launch.
