The Canadian comedy show Trailer Park Boys has again partnered with Hemptown Organics to release a new line of gummies containing hemp-derived THC.
The hemp-derived delta-9-THC gummies contain less than 0.3% THC, zero nicotine and are made with hemp that comes direct from HempTown’s own farm in Oregon.
Unlike gummies from cannabis plants, this line made from hemp plants contains a very small amount of THC, and is not considered strong enough to get the user ‘high’. Typically consumers use low-THC gummies for health benefits from various compounds, including CBD or Delta 9 THC.
But the products still have a strong tie-in with cannabis culture, as does the long-running Canadian mockumentary Trailer Park Boys.
One irony is that cannabis is completely illegal in Canada, where some provinces even sell cannabis directly to consumers through government-operated stores, but celebrity licensing is not permitted. In the US, where cannabis remains illegal under federal law, licensing is permitted in states where cannabis sales have been legalized at the local level.
The company and the show originally launched “Trailer Park Boys”-branded Hemp Stix over a year ago, and their popularity has spawned another partnership.
Each gummy is vegan, non-GMO, and free of gluten and preservatives. They’re available in three flavors, each highlighting character elements of the series. They include:
- Green Bastard: The character Bubbles had significant input into creating these green apple-flavored hemp-derived delta-9 gummies. Each pack features 10 gummies, with either 5 mg or 15 mg each.
- Orangie: Named for Ricky’s fish Orangie, these orange-flavored hemp-derived delta-9 gummies are available in a 10-pack, with either 5 mg or 15 mg per piece.
- Rum and Cola: Julian is rarely without his rum and cola in hand, so developing these gummies made perfect sense. Each 10-pack features gummies with either 5 mg or 15 hemp-derived delta-9 in each.
Hemptown said it is working on developing an exclusive national distribution deal so the products can be purchased throughout the United States and online via Hemptown’s website, hemptownnaturals.com.
“We are very excited about this new addition to our portfolio of products and look forward to significant distribution and sales of the new gummies,” said Hemptown CEO Eric Gripentrog. “We expect incredibly positive results from these amazing tasting products.”
Jessica Gavin, partner and co-founder of the brand licensing firm Gavin Hoss adds: “We are thrilled to see this partnership come to life. It represents a perfect alignment of the brand and the product, and we look forward to the Boys incorporating these new gummies into their upcoming events.”
