Buffy x Van Leeuwen Teamed Up for a "Clouds + CBD Sundae Extravaganza"

— April 27, 2018 — Lifestyle
For 420 this year, comforter brand Buffy x Van Leeuwen ice cream came together to host a 'Clouds + CBD Sundae Extravaganza.'

Over the course of a three-day pop-up, Van Leeuwen offered a limited-edition CBD Fudge Sundae featuring cannabis-derived CBD oil from The Alchemist's Kitchen, and had Buffy take over the entirety of its shop with its "cloud-like comforters" and pillows, providing plenty of soft spaces for people to relax and socialize in a comfortable setting.

While some brands have participated in cannabis-themed collaborations in previous years for 420, the legalization of marijuana is opening up new avenues for brands across multiple industries, especially as consumer perceptions are changing around cannabis as a lifestyle product.

Industry Implications
