Inside the Rebrand of a Leading Consumer Cannabis Company
Cannabis company "hmbldt" is changing its name to "dosist." Co-Founder Jason DeLand joins Cheddar to tell us why the time was right for the change. He says it's to emphasize the brand's focus on using cannabis as a health and wellness tool.
DeLand breaks down the widespread popularity of dosist's Dose Pen. He explains the different health maladies it aims to treat. These include: trouble sleeping, chronic pain, gastrointestinal troubles, and even one's love life.
Finally, DeLand discusses the medical benefits of legalized recreational cannabis. He explains just how important the concept of proper dosing is to his company's mission. The co-founder hopes shifting the conversation around marijuana will help shed some of its stigma.
Over 500 restaurants are taking part in New York Restaurant Week, which concludes on Aug. 20. Cheddar News checks in from Dagon Restaurant in the city's Upper West Side to discuss some of its delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes with Chef Ari Bokovza.
