CBD maker signs deal with MLB
MLB's decision to adopt the SPORT lineup of CBD products from Charlotte's Web Holdings (TSX:CWEB,OTCQX:CWBHF) represents another major cornerstone for the visibility of CBD items.
In a statement, Noah Garden, chief revenue officer with MLB, said the company's products have met the “highest safety standards,” which means they can be promoted across league channels.
“We are excited about the possibilities this partnership offers as CBD becomes a more widely adopted part of the health and wellness regimen of our players and fans," Garden added.
This will be a multi-year partnership between the two organizations. Charlotte's Web will receive premier brand presence at all major MLB events, including All-Star Week festivities, the postseason tournament and the World Series.
Shares of Charlotte’s Web jumped over 20 percent in Toronto on Wednesday (October 12) and finished the day at C$0.99.

Fire & Flower Holdings (TSX:FAF,OTCQX:FFLWF) issued an update to shareholders indicating its strategy for the US market.
The company said it plans to launch its Hifyre technology platform in the US through its strategic arrangement partner Fire & Flower US Holdings. The technology will go into California and Colorado cannabis dispensaries.
The company made this announcement in the aftermath of US President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon all simple cannabis possession charges.
"Initiation of this review is a meaningful and welcome step forward towards US federal legalization of cannabis for adult use,” Stéphane Trudel, CEO of Fire & Flower, said.
