Kushtown USA has formed a joint venture with Green Cures and Botanical Distribution for the US market.

California-based edibles company Kushtown specialises in cannabis-infused medicated water and sodas. It provides products to over 200 medical cannabis dispensaries in the state and offers 20 varieties of medicated soda, which are available as carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. 

Flavours such as cherry cola, lemonade, fruit punch, and lemon lime are available with a proprietary Tttrahydrocannabinol (THC) tincture.

The company’s management intends to leverage the established Kushtown brand name in California, to expand the brand across the US.

Kushtown's management stated: "We are very excited about our joint venture with Green Cures. We have innovative products in the medical cannabis industry that demonstrate we are a proven market leader as we have created our own footprint in this growing and ever changing industry. 

"The Kushtown joint venture will aid in increasing profitable revenue growth in addition to sustaining a long-term healthy investment."

"Kushtown Sodas are a perfect addition to an already outstanding specialty product line-up."

Green Cures stated: "The Kushtown joint venture will aid in increasing profitable revenue growth in addition to sustaining a long-term healthy investment as we work together and continue to increase our specialty product lines."

According to Bloomberg.com, edibles consist of approximately 50% of the legal US cannabis industry. America Cannabis Partners' founder and chairman Christian Hageseth said: "It's probably the most exciting segment of the cannabis industry."

According to BusinessInsider.com, the North American cannibis market posted $6.7bn in revenue in 2016, an increase of 30% from 2015. Bloomberg.com estimates that the US industry may reach $50bn in the next ten years.

Green Cures and Botanical Distribution wholesales and retails hemp-infused nutritional, botanical, sports, and bodycare products. The company focuses on online retailing.
