NORWOOD, Mass. – MariMed Inc. (MRMD:OTCQX) (the “Company” or “MariMed”), a leading multi-state cannabis and hemp operator focused on health and wellness, is pleased to announce that Betty’s Eddies™️, its proprietary, in-house award-winning national cannabis brand, is now available in both Massachusetts Medical Cannabis and Adult-Use Cannabis Programs.
One of the top performing cannabis brands in the United States, Betty’s Eddies™️ fruit chews are gluten-free, vegan, and produced with organically grown fruits and vegetables. Featuring a full spectrum cannabis oil, they are available in Multi-flavor packs, Betty’s Bedtime, Seasonal Apple Pie, as well as individual flavor packs. Betty’s Eddies are available at both lower and increased dosages in compliance with medical and adult use regulations to meet a wide variety of consumer and patient needs. Betty’s Eddies are manufactured at MariMed’s state-of-the-art licensed production and manufacturing facility in New Bedford.
Introduced last week at the medical cannabis program at Panacea Wellness Dispensary in Middleborough, MA, these products are now offered to all licensed medical and adult use dispensaries throughout the state. Betty’s Eddies and other MariMed cannabis brands are currently available in medical programs in Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Illinois. They will soon to be expanding into the medical program in Puerto Rico and the adult use programs in Nevada and Illinois.
Ryan Crandall, Chief Product Officer and SVP of Sales at MariMed, Inc., said, “Betty’s Eddies achieved significant sales growth in 2019 and we are now focused on expanding this brand’s availability in both existing and new markets during 2020. We appreciate the overwhelming customer support Betty’s Eddies has received, whose market feedback drives our constant development and improvement to ensure that we produce the safest, best tasting, and most effective edibles in cannabis.”
Several recent marketing studies have concluded that infused cannabis products will occupy an increasing share of the overall US cannabis market, which according to the 2019 Marijuana Fact Book, is on pace to exceed 35% growth and $12 billion in sales this year.
Bob Fireman, CEO of MariMed, Inc., said, “This is a considerable milestone for MariMed as we expand this premium brand within the key Massachusetts market. As we continue to roll out Betty’s Eddies and our other strategic licensed brands to more regions in 2020, we believe this will dramatically drive our revenues as we expand our presence into new markets where the demand for high quality, infused cannabis products continues to grow rapidly.”
