Since our official launch in November of 2014, CBE Press LLC (CBE) has endeavored to provide utilitarian information that helps transition the relatively new and young Cannabis Industry from a unregulated, illicit black market to a professionally run and regulated industry that has the best interests of the consuming public in mind.

CBE strives to provide all industry stakeholders, whether it be the licensees that produce, process and sell at retail or distribute through delivery services and ancillary businesses that are supplying products or services to help licensees run their compliant business efficiently and effectively in meeting consumer demand, ultimately to make a profit.We also target regulators that oversee legal medical or adult-use state programs and have added content over the last 24 months that targets the financial and investment community that provides the capital needed for start-ups.

All CBE content meets the rigorous requirements of the American Society of Magazine Editors and its guidelines to assure that our 40,000 plus and counting e-newsletter and daily cbetotal.wpengine.com site readers clearly know what content is originally produced by CBE and its contributors of industry experts or articles aggregated from reputable media companies versus information like press releases or other information sourced from the sponsorship or advertising efforts of ancillary businesses.

We have two navigation bars on the CBE sight. Below the CBE site logo is our editorial well and navigation bar and above the logo is our sponsored content navigation bar where the CBE Business Directory (CBEBD) resides. The CBEBD houses listings and contact information of ancillary businesses that have chosen to use CBE media assets as a way to communicate that they are open to business to provide products and services to industry licensees. It currently includes over a 1,000 businesses that cover a broad range of product and service categories like:

The new and improved CBEBD has been streamlined to allow posters to list their company directly, subject to CBE approval, with three options available to potential lists:

We are currently in the process of of creating an additional sponsor navigation bar item, New Product & Service Announcements, that we will be offering on a paid basis to allow marketers to communicate these new skus or services to our audience.
