About Kushtown USA (www.kushtownusa.com)

 

Kushtown USA LLC is a California based leading liquid edibles company that specializes in cannabis infused medicated water, sodas, hot sauces and barbecue sauces.  Since 2000, Kushtown has been one of the leaders in marijuana beverages and edible products in California, with sales to over 200 medical marijuana dispensaries.

 

Kushtown currently markets and distributes:

 

Kushtown Sodas

Kushtown Water

Kushtown Hot Sauce

Kushtown BBQ sauce

 

Kushtown holds trademark rights to the Kushtown line of products, and management plans to leverage the established Kushtown brand name in California and aims to expand the Kushtown brand into the recreational cannabis market across North America, pending the November 8, 2016 vote in California and other States to legalize recreational marijuana.

 

California Proposition 64, the California Marijuana Legalization Initiative will be on the ballot on November 8, 2016

 

The accelerating pace of marijuana legalization in the United States has grabbed headlines around the world in the past few months. In the United States, four states (and the District of Columbia) already allow the use of recreational marijuana. On November 8, 2016, alongside the presidential election five more will vote on similar legalization — California, Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts and Arizona.

 

Medical marijuana has been given the green light in half of all U.S. states. Legal cannabis sales in the United States jumped 17 percent, to $5.4 billion, in 2015 and are expected to grow by 25 percent this year, to $6.7 billion, according to Arcview Market Research.

 

By 2020 legal cannabis sales in the United States are projected to hit $21.8 billion. California currently accounts for 49 percent of all US cannabis sales by state and it is predicted that the legal cannabis market will see a whopping $21.8 billion in total annual sales by 2020. (By comparison, at that point, the legal marijuana market could be bigger than the National Football League, which saw roughly $12 billion of revenue last year but is aiming to reach $25 billion by 2027.)

 

Kushtown is well positioned to capitalize on the changing legislation in the marijuana industry in California and the company plans to execute an aggressive marketing and distribution plan to expand the Kushtown brand of liquid edibles across North America.  Management of Kushtown has built an excellent reputation operating in California’s medical marijuana market and is a leading liquid edibles company in California.  With California’s potential move towards legalization, Kushtown is planning an aggressive growth strategy and is currently in the process of acquiring a high output automated bottling and packaging plant to be installed and operational in the coming weeks.

Kushtown Sodas and Edibles was created by Peter Moret in early 1999 when his mother (2 time cancer survivor) became ill from breast cancer. She was treated and went through intense painful chemotherapy to help her defeat the breast cancer. Sad and confused, owner and creator Peter Moret researched an alternative method to help his mother cope with this devastating disease. Through his research he found that cannabis would help her greatly.  Peter researched cannabis extraction and created a Medical Marijuana tincture, which he called Kushtown tincture. He gave his mother a single serving of the tincture in tea and she instantly felt relief and began dancing around the kitchen. One hour after medicating with the Kushtown tincture, Peter’s mother started drinking the tea religiously and used it to help deal with the aches and pains from the cancer. The tincture worked wonders for her, increasing her appetite and also her activity.

In 2000 Peter’s mother won her battle with cancer greatly in part to the Kushtown tincture. After seeing the benefits and results on his own mother, Peter began to manufacture and distribute the Kushtown sodas to the public. For the past 14 years Kushtown has been pioneering the industry with Medicated Drinkables & Sauces. Kushtown Sodas is the first and most recognized edible company in the industry. We have perfected our products and tinctures to help with the fight of cancer as well as many other diseases and ailments. Our goal is to create and innovate delicious, effective, and cutting edge products that establish us as the front runner amongst edible companies.
