Low-Cost Cannabis Products

'Branded' is Disrupting California's Black Market

In California, cannabis is legal for both medical and recreational use yet the black market for marijuana still remains. Established cannabis brand Varavo is now introducing a new venture called 'Branded' that introduces a line of high-quality, low-cost cannabis products to challenge the goods circulating black markets. With their black market prices, the compliant products are set to be sold exclusively in licensed California dispensaries. As such, Branded CEO, Kevin Bulbulyan says that "Branded is going to change how the industry currently exists."

Branded is on a mission to drive customers into compliant shops with low-priced products like disposable vapes, tinctures, pre-rolls and flowers in different strains. The cost-efficient products all favor packaging that is clean, simple, straightforward and descriptive.
