Beboe products are known for their thoughtful design aesthetic. The brand's most famous product is its iconic rose-gold vaporizer pen. Beboe products are currently sold in more than 125 retail locations in California and Colorado.

In addition to its announcement this morning, Green Thumb Industries released news that it entered into the Florida cannabis market last week. The company is setting itself up nicely in the US cannabis market in 2019 so far.
