cbdMD's Herbal Oasis Expands into Louisiana with Morales Beverage Group Following Strong Texas Momentum

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD), a leading innovator in wellness and hemp-derived consumer products, today announced a major distribution expansion for its Herbal Oasis THC-infused social seltzer ("Oasis") through an expanded partnership with Morales Beverage Group ("MBG").

The agreement extends Oasis into Louisiana, strengthening the brand's regional footprint across the Gulf South and creating a more contiguous platform for continued Southeast growth, following strong early performance in Texas. With MBG's established statewide distribution infrastructure, Oasis is positioned to accelerate placement across convenience, independent beverage, and premium lifestyle retail accounts throughout Louisiana.

"Louisiana represents an other stepping stone for us and the expansion of cbdMD's Oasis brand," said T. Ronan Kennedy, CEO of cbdMD. "Partnering with MBG gives us the scale and reach to bring Oasis to retailers across the state."

Under the partnership, MBG will distribute Oasis statewide across Louisiana, with initial emphasis on channels where adult consumers are actively seeking modern alcohol alternatives and functional social beverages.  Management expects to start shipping product in late February.

"Texas has proven the strength of the Oasis platform and brand," said Sullivan Hope, Portfolio Manager at MBG Texas. "Expanding into Louisiana allows us to build on that momentum and bring a compelling, compliant beverage offering to a new market."

Redefining the Fast-Growing THC Beverage Category

The THC beverage market is one of the fastest-growing segments in functional CPG. According to Fact MR, U.S. THC beverage sales exceeded $1.6 billion in 2025 and are projected to grow more than $3.5 billion in 2030, assuming relief from recent rule changes.

Oasis stands out with a proprietary formulation combining hemp-derived THC, CBD, and CBG with functional adaptogenic mushrooms—including lion's mane, reishi, and cordyceps—crafted to promote focus, calm, and connection.

With vibrant, flavor-forward offerings such as Lemon Lift, Berry Fusion, Tropical Twist, Mango Bliss, and Tropic Wave, Oasis provides consumers a refreshing, alcohol-free way to socialize that is both functional and fun.
