How Luxury Cannabis Brand Beboe is Changing the Way People Consume Marijuana
Beboe launched early last year and is described as the “Hermes of marijuana." Co-founder Clement Kwan sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about how the brand is changing the stereotypes associated with cannabis.
Kwan discusses the importance of packaging when making a luxury brand like Beboe. He says the marketing of the products opens up a whole new demographic to cannabis products. The co-founder also discusses the new demand in sales since cannabis has been legalized in California and what the brand is doing to keep up with those demands.
He also reveals Beboe is looking for new ways to sell its products, including potential for brick and mortar stores, but says the company is happy with the direct-to-consumer model and will continue to expand its product offerings.

A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
