goodblend™ Texas, a retail brand of Parallel, one of the nation’s largest privately-held multi-state cannabis operators, today announced the launch of the first cannabinol (CBN) products for patients registered in the Texas Compassionate Use Program. The Surterra Wellness Dream +CBN branded tincture introduction marks the fifth first-to-market product innovation the company has launched in the Lone Star State in the last nine months, following the launch of Texas’ first medical cannabis capsule format for qualifying patients.  Earlier this week, Parallel’s Massachusetts retail brand, New England Treatment Access (NETA), launched a Surterra Wellness Dream +CBN product, making it the first CBN product offered to its customers.

“We are excited to debut yet another first-to-market cannabis product in Texas and to extend our Surterra Wellness line into the Massachusetts market with the launch of Dream +CBN. Our proprietary formulas are crafted to help qualifying patients improve their quality of sleep, which is a big contributor to overall health and well-being,” said William “Beau” Wrigley, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Parallel. “Dream +CBN exemplifies Parallel’s emphasis on bringing patients a wide variety of innovative product formats and proprietary cannabinoid blends through our dedicated R&D team.”

In Texas, the Dream +CBN product line comes in a 15mg dose of CBN and THC per milliliter (ml), contains a proprietary Dream terpene profile, and is infused with the cannabinoid ratio of 2 CBN : 1 THC.

“goodblend Texas is proud to be the first medical cannabis dispensary in Texas to offer a product with the rare cannabinoid CBN to qualifying patients across the Lone Star State through the Compassionate Use Program. Good quality sleep is essential to overall health and well-being, and we are excited to provide qualifying patients a high-quality alternative to sleep aids to help them feel rested and restored,” said Marcus Ruark, President of goodblend Texas.

The launch of the first CBN product in Texas follows the recent news that Parallel invested $25M in a new state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation, production, and retail facility in San Marcos, Texas.

The company also recently introduced its goodblend™ retail brand, which reflects Parallel’s intent to lead the way to the future of cannabis by providing patients a trusted, consistent and seamless way to connect and learn, and to access innovative, high-quality cannabis products in a variety of formulations. The brand is about welcoming every type of customer and being an approachable source for customers’ well-being.
