A Massachusetts cannabis company is celebrating National Brownie Day on Wednesday with what it believes is the “largest THC-infused brownie ever made."
MariMed Inc. said the massive confection is 3-feet-by-3-feet (.9-meters-by-.9 meters) square and 15 inches (38 centimeters) tall, weighs 850 pounds (385 kilograms), and contains 20,000 mg of THC.
The brownie was also made to celebrate the launch of the company's new line of cannabis-infused edibles, called Bubby’s Baked, according to a statement from the Norwood-based company that also has facilities in several other states.
What happens to the brownie now? Company spokesperson Howard Schacter said it will be sent to its Middleborough dispensary and ultimately sold to a medical marijuana patient. As to what the customer plans to do with it, Schacter couldn't say.
The purchase price is still being determined, he said.
Inflation-weary Americans are still spending money every month, but the April numbers show they’re starting to cut back on a few types of expensive purchases.
You don’t have to be an Olympic-level athlete to wear On’s shoes or apparel, but the company will use the 2024 games to continue growing its footprint.
Companies are making money, the economy is cooling down, and a rate cut or two possible by the fall? It might be time to break out the cautious optimism.
