Hello hello y’all!
🍃 Will a cannabis brand sponsor a major sports league in the next 5-10 years?
This week I asked my communities: Will a cannabis brand sponsor a major sports league in the next 5-10 years?
And overwhelmingly, my community was very bullish on this happening. Even more so, most suggested this will happen in 2 years or less.
Rightly so many folks even pointed out there’s already several sponsorships out there currently – Cookies is partnering with USC, Charlotte’s Web partners with a Pro LAX league, Trulieve with a pickleball league, and more.
I love seeing these and hopefully we continue progress made.
