Exclusive Distribution Agreement Signed Between Hempacco and CBDAY in India and Thailand
Hempacco Co, Inc. (HPCO) has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with CBDAY Global Private Limited to sell cannabis products in India and Thailand.

According to a report by Benzinga on December 6th, the cannabis tobacco company Hempacco Co, Inc. (code: HPCO) has announced that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with CBDAY Global Private Limited (a company that imports, exports, distributes, and sells hemp-based products in India and Asia).

 

According to the agreement, CBDAY will have exclusive sales rights for Hempacco's cannabis and CBD products in India and Thailand. The initial offerings will include Cheech & Chong and Rick Ross' marijuana products, which will be available for purchase on CBDAY's flagship website. These premium cannabis products will be distributed throughout the Asia region via CBDAY's extensive online and offline sales channels. This expansion reflects their commitment to providing high-quality hemp and CBD products to consumers worldwide.

 

The Indian market holds immense potential for cannabis-based products due to the country's long-standing use of the hemp plant for various purposes. In certain regions of India, particularly the state of Uttar Pradesh, some tribal communities may engage in the use of marijuana, and related laws might have a degree of leniency towards them.

U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal to collect foreign export declarations and other overseas customs documents could expose discrepancies in the value, classification and description of China-made vape shipments entering the United States. A veteran Chinese logistics professional told 2Firsts that the measure, if implemented, could undermine the all-inclusive shipping model used by some unauthorized vape exporters and push parts of the trade toward costlier underground channels. The risk extends beyond higher duties: accurately declared products may also be more readily identified as unauthorized e-cigarettes subject to FDA enforcement.

Special Report | Can Nicotine Be Replaced? 6-MN Is Already on the Market While Key Human Evidence Is Still Missing
Nicotine analogues such as 6-methylnicotine are already appearing in e-cigarettes and oral pouches, even as key human evidence remains limited. A new Nixodine-S study adds nonclinical data showing differences from nicotine in cytotoxicity and receptor activity, while independent studies point to a more complex toxicological picture. With supply-chain activity growing and FDA seeking clearer authority over nicotine analogues, the industry now faces a larger question: what evidence is needed before these substances can credibly replace nicotine?
