HERBL Signs Exclusive Distribution Partnership With Bella Thorne's Cannabis Lifestyle Brand, Forbidden Flowers

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- HERBL, California's largest cannabis supply chain solutions company, today announced its exclusive distribution partnership with Forbidden Flowers, a line of thoughtfully curated cannabis products created by American actress, model, singer and entrepreneur Bella Thorne in collaboration with Glass House Group.

Launched in 2019, Forbidden Flowers' selection of beautifully packaged and sun grown fresh flower eighths and pre-rolls has been immensely popular among young female consumers, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the industry. HERBL will help scale Forbidden Flowers' current retail footprint, which spans 57 locations throughout California, through its expansive network of retail partners.

"Forbidden Flowers' authentic and empowering branding, in addition to its high quality offerings, resonates with a rising female demographic that will likely dictate future industry trends," said Mike Beaudry, founder and CEO of HERBL. "Our team is intentional about partnering with brands that are not only loved by their consumers but also align with our own commitment to building a world-class industry, and we look forward to working with Bella and the Glass House team to bring Forbidden Flowers to new audiences."

"Cannabis has played a significant role in my mental and physical well-being, and I developed Forbidden Flowers to share my love for the plant and help others who may be searching for natural ways to ease daily stressors," said Bella Thorne. "I am grateful to HERBL for believing in my long-term vision for Forbidden Flowers and allowing our team to connect with even more individuals who identify with our brand's unapologetic and free-spirited personality."

In April of this year, Glass House Group announced a $567M business combination via SPAC with Mercer Park BRND Acquisition Corp. Once public, Glass House Group will be the most expansive, fully-integrated, publicly-listed cannabis business in California. Utilizing Mercer Park's investment, Glass House Group has plans to build a 5.5M sq. ft. state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. With this new unmatched cultivation capacity, Bella Thorne's 24M Instagram followers, and HERBL's extensive supply chain, Forbidden Flowers is well positioned to supply the rapidly growing consumer demand for their products.
