A pioneer in the category for the past ten years, Dixie's Future of CBD & Cannabis lounge will champion the cannabis plant and spotlight the industry as it emerges from prohibition and enters the mainstream. As part of the showcase, Dixie will provide hands-on experiences and educate attendees on its full portfolio of THC and CBD-infused products, including hemp-derived CBD cosmeceutical brand, Kuida™, developed to bring the benefits of CBD to a comprehensive portfolio of skin and body care products for women. Once approved by the regulatory authorities, Kuida will be launched stateside via an exclusive distribution partnership between Dixie and Khiron Life Sciences, subject to TSX approval.

"FounderMade is known for bringing the most fearless and inspiring leaders from around the world together under one roof, and for unveiling some of the most forward-thinking consumer brands in modern history," said Chuck Smith, CEO of Dixie Brands. "Dixie has been perfecting the art and science of crafting quality infused-cannabis products for nearly a decade and is proud to be a category leader. We're excited to use this platform to share our broad portfolio of high-quality CBD and THC-infused products with those who are passionate about learning more about what the cannabis plant can offer."

At the Future of CBD & Cannabis lounge, in addition to learning about Dixie's robust portfolio of Dixie Brands THC and CBD-infused products, event attendees will have the opportunity to engage with Aceso™ Hemp, Dixie's growing line of indication-specific, hemp-derived supplements that promote optimal health.
