CHICAGO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- incredibles, an award-winning cannabis brand from Green Thumb Industries Inc. (Green Thumb) (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF), today announced that it has launched its new, limited-edition 50 Shades of Grape gummy in the Illinois market.

“When it comes to Valentine’s Day, consumers aren’t as handcuffed to wine and booze as you might think,” said Ryan Marek, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Green Thumb. “50 Shades of Grape by incredibles is a woo-worthy formula featuring cannabinoids intended for mood-setting effects including relaxation and stress-reduction. We’re thrilled to offer this new limited-edition product to our Illinois customers as they prepare for their Valentine’s Day celebrations.”

In 2021, adult-use cannabis sales spiked 7% on Valentine’s Day, and incredibles knows why more consumers are slipping behind alcohol’s back for a risqué rendezvous with edibles. According to a recent poll, cannabis consumers experience more intimacy than non-consumers. Plus, two-thirds of those polled believe cannabis enhances their sex life and helps them get in the mood.

Known as “the credible edible”, incredibles has been making consistently dosed cannabis confections since 2010, providing predictable effects for worry-free enjoyment. Available for a limited time only, the 50 Shades of Grape gummies are crafted to elevate you and your main squeeze to a juicy taste bud climax this Valentine’s Day. Made with pure THC distillate, the gummies feature a cannabinoid ratio of 50 mg THC / 50 mg CBD per pack and 5 mg THC / 5 mg CBD per gummy.
