Company Behind Edible Arrangements Expands Cannabis Deliveries Across 30 States After ‘Successful’ Launch In Texas
The company behind Edible Arrangements is significantly expanding its delivery service for cannabis products, offering shipping in 30 states across the U.S. and same-day delivery in several major cities.
Edible Brands, best known for its line of ornate fruit arrangements, initially launched its hemp delivery line in May, limiting the rollout of its cannabis gummies, drinks and supplements offerings to Texas to test the waters.
Now, as of Thursday, products can be purchased for delivery from the company’s site Edibles.com across 30 states, with same-day delivery being offered in Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Miami and Nashville.
“Delivering meaningful consumer experiences has always been core to our business and Edibles.com is an extension of that mission,” Somia Farid Silber, chief executive officer of Edible Brands, said in a press release. “We’re not just simplifying access—we’re shaping how consumers engage with this category as it becomes mainstream.”
“The success of Edibles.com proves the demand for trusted leadership, and with our national operational expertise, we’re proud to be setting that standard,” she said.
The company’s hemp delivery launch started with products from Wana, but it’s since partnered with two other cannabis businesses, Wyld and Kiva Confections.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to making hemp-THC products safe, reliable and easy to access as consumer demand continues to grow,” Thomas Winstanley, executive vice president and general manager of Edibles.com, said. “By curating category leaders across diverse use cases, we’re simplifying the choices for consumers and giving them confidence in what they’re buying—delivered how and where they want it.”
“Consumers can visit www.edibles.com to shop by category, brand or outcome, such as Sleep, Relax, Uplift and Energy,” he said. “Depending on their location, the site automatically selects the fastest fulfillment route—whether national shipping or same-day delivery—ensuring a seamless shopping experience for both first-time buyers and returning customers.”
The expansion comes at a key time, with states across the country—as well as in Congress—contemplating the future of hemp policy as the intoxicating cannabinoid market has proliferated.
In Edibles.com’s flagstaff state of Texas, for example, lawmakers failed to pass legislation that presumably would’ve affected the company’s business, with a proposed ban on hemp products containing any amount of THC. The governor has since signed an executive order to set age limits and labeling requirements on hemp sales.
A GOP U.S. senator separately said recently that if Congress moves forward with a proposal to ban hemp products with any amount of THC at the federal level, nobody is going to buy the remaining CBD preparations—in large part because “even a little bit” of the intoxicating cannabinoid makes an important difference for health effects.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said last month that he has plans to meet with House lawmakers to “reach a compromise” on an approach to regulate hemp in light of his opposition to the THC proposal.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), who championed a hemp THC ban in his chamber version of the agriculture spending legislation, told Marijuana Moment that he wasn’t concerned about any potential opposition to the hemp ban in the Senate—and he also disputed reports about the scope of what his legislation would do to the industry.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a report in June stating that the legislation would “effectively” prohibit hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Initially it said that such a ban would prevent the sale of CBD as well, but the CRS report was updated to exclude that language for reasons that are unclear.
