Company Behind Edible Arrangements Expands Cannabis Deliveries Across 30 States After ‘Successful’ Launch In Texas

The company behind Edible Arrangements is significantly expanding its delivery service for cannabis products, offering shipping in 30 states across the U.S. and same-day delivery in several major cities.

Edible Brands, best known for its line of ornate fruit arrangements, initially launched its hemp delivery line in May, limiting the rollout of its cannabis gummies, drinks and supplements offerings to Texas to test the waters.

Now, as of Thursday, products can be purchased for delivery from the company’s site Edibles.com across 30 states, with same-day delivery being offered in Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Miami and Nashville.

“Delivering meaningful consumer experiences has always been core to our business and Edibles.com is an extension of that mission,” Somia Farid Silber, chief executive officer of Edible Brands, said in a press release. “We’re not just simplifying access—we’re shaping how consumers engage with this category as it becomes mainstream.”

“The success of Edibles.com proves the demand for trusted leadership, and with our national operational expertise, we’re proud to be setting that standard,” she said.

The company’s hemp delivery launch started with products from Wana, but it’s since partnered with two other cannabis businesses, Wyld and Kiva Confections.

“This expansion reflects our commitment to making hemp-THC products safe, reliable and easy to access as consumer demand continues to grow,” Thomas Winstanley, executive vice president and general manager of Edibles.com, said. “By curating category leaders across diverse use cases, we’re simplifying the choices for consumers and giving them confidence in what they’re buying—delivered how and where they want it.”

“Consumers can visit www.edibles.com to shop by category, brand or outcome, such as Sleep, Relax, Uplift and Energy,” he said. “Depending on their location, the site automatically selects the fastest fulfillment route—whether national shipping or same-day delivery—ensuring a seamless shopping experience for both first-time buyers and returning customers.”

The expansion comes at a key time, with states across the country—as well as in Congress—contemplating the future of hemp policy as the intoxicating cannabinoid market has proliferated.

In Edibles.com’s flagstaff state of Texas, for example, lawmakers failed to pass legislation that presumably would’ve affected the company’s business, with a proposed ban on hemp products containing any amount of THC. The governor has since signed an executive order to set age limits and labeling requirements on hemp sales.

A GOP U.S. senator separately said recently that if Congress moves forward with a proposal to ban hemp products with any amount of THC at the federal level, nobody is going to buy the remaining CBD preparations—in large part because “even a little bit” of the intoxicating cannabinoid makes an important difference for health effects.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said last month that he has plans to meet with House lawmakers to “reach a compromise” on an approach to regulate hemp in light of his opposition to the THC proposal.

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), who championed a hemp THC ban in his chamber version of the agriculture spending legislation, told Marijuana Moment that he wasn’t concerned about any potential opposition to the hemp ban in the Senate—and he also disputed reports about the scope of what his legislation would do to the industry.

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a report in June stating that the legislation would “effectively” prohibit hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Initially it said that such a ban would prevent the sale of CBD as well, but the CRS report was updated to exclude that language for reasons that are unclear.

Ohio Marijuana Sales Top $3 Billion, New State Data Shows

Ohio medical and adult-use marijuana sales have officially surpassed $3 billion, new data from the state Department of Commerce (DOC) shows.

In an update published on Tuesday, DOC’s Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) reported $3,036,756,851 in cannabis purchases as of September 13. That includes about $2.2 billion worth of medical marijuana, which was legalized in 2019, and $802 million in recreational sales, which launched in August of last year.

According to DCC, 458,292 pounds of plant material and nearly 44.4 million manufactured product units have been sold since the medical market launched, across almost 40 million receipts.

There are currently 165 licensed retailers that can serve adults and patients. And the state shows there are 459,408 registered medical cannabis patients and 41,995 caregivers.

DCC also said that the average price per gram of marijuana is currently $6.55.

The state sold about $703 million in recreational cannabis in the law’s first year of implementation, according to DCC data.

Voters approved a ballot initiative to legalize adult-use marijuana in November 2023, and lawmakers have since taken a series of steps aimed at revising the law. However, that’s been met with pushback and the legislature has so far been unable to reach consensus to meaningfully alter the law.

Last-minute disagreements between the House and Senate Republicans seemed to have derailed that plan.

After taking public testimony and adopting certain changes to Senate-passed cannabis legislation, SB 56, the House Judiciary Committee ultimately declined to advance the proposal as scheduled at a June hearing, making it so the measure couldn’t advance to a floor vote.

Changes approved at a hearing late in May rolled back some of the strict limits included in a version of the measure passed by the Senate in February, including a criminal prohibition on sharing marijuana between adults on private property.

In March, a survey of 38 municipalities by the Ohio State University’s (OSU) Moritz College of Law found that local leaders were “unequivocally opposed” to earlier proposals that would have stripped the planned funding.

Meanwhile in Ohio, adults as of June are able to buy more than double the amount of marijuana than they were under previous limits, with state officials determining that the market can sustainably supply both medical cannabis patients and adult consumers.

Gov. Mike DeWine (R) in March separately announced his desire to reallocate marijuana tax revenue to support police training, local jails and behavioral health services. He said funding police training was a top priority, even if that wasn’t included in what voters passed in 2023.

Ohio’s Senate president has also pushed back against criticism of the Senate bill, claiming the legislation does not disrespect the will of the electorate and would have little impact on products available in stores.

Separately, lawmakers are considering legislation to restrict intoxicating hemp products.

DeWine has repeatedly asked lawmakers to regulate or ban intoxicating hemp products such as delta-8 THC.

Minnesota’s Recreational Marijuana Market Launches, With First Sales At Non-Tribal Dispensaries

Minnesota’s first adult-use marijuana sales from non-tribal retailers have officially launched.

Two years after Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed legalization into law, the state’s market is now up and running, with the cannabis company Vireo Growth announcing the first sales at its Green Goods dispensaries on Tuesday. Additional businesses are also expected to start selling recreational products soon.

While certain tribal governments across the state have been permitted to sell marijuana on their reservations–and tribes have also agreements with the governor to sell at retail locations outside of their territories–this marks the first time a non-tribal entity has been able to market marijuana for adults.

“As a Minnesota company founded with a long-term vision for cannabis, we are proud to begin making our products available to all Minnesotans,” Vireo President Amber Shimpa said in a press release. “We will always remain committed to our medical patients and product portfolio as we have for over 10 years, and look forward to this new opportunity to serve adult-use customers with the same standard of quality and care.”

Alexandra Breant, Vireo’s head of market in Minnesota, said Tuesday represents “a historic day for our team which we have been preparing for since 2023, and we are honored to share it with patients and new customers across Minnesota.”

“This milestone is more than just expanding access, it’s about building community, fostering inclusion, and continuing to serve Minnesotans with care and responsibility,” she said. “We are grateful for the trust placed in us and look forward to being part of this new chapter together.”

Another multi-state operator, Green Thumb Industries (GTI), said its dispensary chain RISE will also start serving adult consumers beginning on Wednesday.

We’re excited to announce RISE Dispensaries will launch adult-use cannabis sales in Minnesota on September 17th! 🎉 We can't wait to see you there! Read more: https://t.co/Ii27OJACgapic.twitter.com/G8Mo7nombi

“We are excited to celebrate this historic day in Minnesota with the launch of adult-use cannabis sales,” Anthony Georgiadis, GTI’s president, said. “Our team is looking forward to introducing more Minnesotans to our industry-leading brands including RYTHM, Beboe, and Dogwalkers, while continuing to prioritize medical patients with the trusted service they expect from RISE, including exclusive curbside pick-up and priority parking at select locations.”

Minnesota  Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) Executive Director Eric Taubel said the state is “at a point where critical work streams have come together, allowing state-licensed retailers to begin selling adult-use cannabis products to customers.”

“We’ve seen immediate interest from state-licensed businesses to work with Tribal Nations to carry Tribally grown products on their shelves as they open their doors to eager customers,” he said. “As the medical cannabis dispensaries transition to serving both medical patients and adult-use customers, we will closely monitor product levels to ensure they comply with this requirement.”

Notably, Minnesota sits in a geographically unique position with respect to cannabis, as it’s surrounded by states that maintain prohibition. Many of the newly authorized retailers sit within driving distance of borders with those jurisdictions.

Meanwhile, Minnesota’s House of Representatives recently circulated a poll at this year’s State Fair that asked attendees about the idea of allowing localities to enact bans on marijuana businesses within their borders. Most respondents who have an opinion on the issue agree with the policy, despite it not currently being a part of the state’s cannabis laws.

Ahead of the enactment of legalization in Minnesota, lawmakers’ separate State Fair polls found majority support for the reform.

The governor has also selected a top cannabis regulator for the state who will oversee the adult-use market rollout. And while there may be some jurisdictions in favor of a local control option for licensees, over a dozen Minnesota cities have signaled interest in government-run cannabis retailers.

In June, OCM issued the state’s first recreational marijuana license for a cultivation microbusiness.

OCM said at the time that it’s taking further steps to build up in the industry and create opportunities to entrepreneurs, including opening a new licensing window for cannabis testing facilities, accepting the first applications for marijuana event licenses and verifying more social equity status requests.

Separately, after Minnesota lawmakers passed a bill to end the criminalization of bong water containing trace amount of drugs, the governor signed the measure into law in May.

The change addresses an existing policy that had allowed law enforcement to treat quantities of bong water greater than four ounces as equivalent to the pure, uncut version of whatever drug the device was used to consume.

In April, meanwhile, state officials moved to delay a separate drug reform—the opening of safe drug consumption sites, meant to allow people to use drugs in a safer, supervised setting.

“More work needs to be done on a state and federal level before these services can be implemented in a way that is safe for participants and Harm Reduction programs,” a representative for the Department of Human Services (DHS) Behavioral Health Administration said at the time.

In March, lawmakers also filed legislation that would create a system to allow legal access to psilocybin for medical purposes. That came just days after the introduction of a separate bill that would legalize personal psilocybin use and possession among adults.
