DISTRIBUTION
Cookies exits HERBL for new kid on the block Humble & Fume. Humble & Fume is Canada's leading cannabis accessories distributor, and more recently repping high profile cannabis brands such as Wyld. H&F landed a California distribution license in 2021 and launched with Adrian Sedlinโs Canndescent on 4/20/22. Very interesting timing to see a new player on the distro scene providing both distribution, sales, field and marketing support. On that note, the HERBL x Blackbird rumor mill is swirling, and we could go much deeper but a fellow robot asked us to be nice. ๐ผ๐ป
RETAIL
