Charlotte's Web™ Unveiling Brightside™ Precision-Formulated Approach to Hemp-Derived THC at Benzinga Conference
Brightside speaks to the health-conscious consumer—those curious about THC or seeking a more measured, intentional experience. Powered by TiME INFUSION ® rapid onset technology, effects begin in just 5–15 minutes—significantly faster than traditional edibles. Each gummy features a micro-dose of hemp-based THC, paired with a purposeful blend of CBD, CBC, and CBG for a balanced, elevated experience.
The initial launch gummies will include:
Rest & Relax: Your hangover-proof way to unwind and vibe. A microdose of THC + CBD melts away tension so you can enjoy the moment—no stress, no regrets.
Focus & Flow: In just five minutes, one gummy flips the switch to full-focus mode—no lag, no distractions. With THC, CBD, and CBG, it sharpens your mind so you can power through anything from chores to creative bursts.
Relieve & Ease: Snap, crackle, pop? Not anymore - this fast-acting gummy soothes soreness and mystery aches. Packed with CBD, THC, CBC, and CBG, it helps ease tension and gets you back to doing what you love.
" Brightside is for anyone who's ever wondered if hemp THC could fit into their wellness routine—but didn't know where to start. Brightside represents our strategic response to growing consumer demand for precision wellness solutions that integrate THC," said Bill Morachnick, CEO of Charlotte's Web. " We've leveraged advanced delivery technology and thoughtful formulations to create a product that's not only fast-acting and consistent, but also rooted in our commitment to safety, transparency, and evidence-based wellness. It's a smarter way to explore THC—designed for those who want to feel better with controlled experiences."
The launch of Brightside comes at a pivotal moment for the hemp industry as consumer demand for low-dose THC edibles continues to surge. This momentum aligns with Mr. Morachnick's participation in the upcoming panel at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference on June 10th, titled " The Hemp Industry Divide: Quick Cash vs. Sustainable Growth." The panel will explore the critical choices facing brands and investors as the market matures, highlighting the importance of innovation grounded in trust, science, and long-term vision—principles that are core to the Brightside launch.

The rise and fall of Canada's alleged grandparent scam king
Headlines Latest News Podcasts (new window) The rise and fall of Canada's alleged grandparent scam king. Photo: CBC He flaunted fortune and success. Now he's wanted for allegedly masterminding Canada's largest grandparent scam network. Wearing a close-fitting dress shirt, skinny jeans and black leather loafers, 42-year-old Gareth West stood in front of a modest, white-walled home on the outskirts of Montreal in 2022 and laid out the blueprint to get rich through real estate. He said he planned to demolish the home and turn it into a bustling office complex, earning millions. The most successful developers are the ones who have the greatest foresight, he said, speaking in a promotional video. By many measures, West was successful. He moonlighted as an amateur bodybuilder, drove expensive cars, owned a yacht, travelled often and hosted parties at his home in Montreal and his penthouse in downtown Toronto. Except West's public persona as a real estate developer, carefully crafted through years of buying apartment complexes in southern Ontario and building homes in the Montreal suburbs, was a facade. A CBC News investigation has identified West as the man authorities say is behind a large-scale criminal network that stole at least $30 million from vulnerable seniors.
