In response to the Boston Globe article titled "A Regulatory Vacuum Has Spawned A Multi-Billion Dollar Trade In Intoxicating Hemp Products" (Read the article), we at Primabee are pleased to be cited as a leading company in the CBD industry.

However, we want to clarify and correct some crucial points in the article.  Aside from our disappointment that the reporter inauspiciously failed to disclose our entire conversation, it's disheartening to see our commitment to quality and safety overlooked and inadvertently grouped with companies that do not share our rigorous standards.  Many people have already contacted us and noted how the article is confusing and, surprisingly, never addresses the critical differences between Delta 8 and Delta 9.  Most importantly, the article does not make clear that Primabee has NEVER sold Delta 8, as it runs contrary to our brand strategy of being centered in the wellness space.

Primabee spent significant time educating the reporter on this critical issue specifically, as we are passionate about education, transparency, and best practices.

This blog post aims to clarify our stance, emphasizing our dedication to responsible practices and the well-being of our customers. 

In the ever-evolving world of cannabinoids, it's crucial to distinguish between companies committed to quality and those who prioritize profit over safety. Recent discussions, including the article in the Boston Globe, have highlighted concerns surrounding Delta-8 THC products, their marketing strategies, and their appeal to younger audiences.

The Primabee Difference

At Primabee, we adhere to stringent product quality and consumer safety standards. Unlike the practices mentioned in recent critiques, Primabee's mission is rooted in education and transparency. Our products are:

• Exclusively for individuals 21 and older: We are committed to responsible consumption and marketing.
• Made from USA-grown organic hemp: Our commitment to organic farming ensures that our products are safe and sustainable.
• All-natural ingredients: We believe in the power of nature and avoid synthetic additives.
• Third-party tested: Every product is rigorously tested for purity and potency, ensuring they are free of pesticides, heavy metals, and contaminants.
• Responsibly packaged: Our packaging is designed to be informative and appealing to a mature audience, not to entice underage use.

We have consciously crafted and offered a Delta 9 PrimaBuzz product for our core over 50 customers.  We purposefully selected Delta 9 over Delta 8 for many reasons, primarily because it is a naturally occurring compound and not a synthetic such as Delta 8.

Addressing Misconceptions

Addressing misconceptions that may arise from generalizations in the media is essential. While some companies might exploit regulatory gray areas and market aggressively to younger demographics, Primabee prioritizes the well-being of its customers above all else.
