MIAMI, July 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bhang Corporation , a trusted cannabis house of brands with an extensive, award-winning portfolio of over 100 cannabis, hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) and terpene products, has won First Place in the Best Cannabis Infused Chocolate Category at WeedCon 2019.

“We didn’t create cannabis chocolate, we perfected it," said Scott Van Rixel, founder, CEO and master chocolatier of Bhang. “We are grateful to continue to be recognized as a prominent cannabis brand in the market and look forward to further establishing ourselves by providing a wide range of trusted products to our loyal community.”
