'Instagram King' Dan Bilzerian Pulls IGNITE Brand From Canadian Cannabis Market, Complains Of 'Too Many Barriers'
Dan Bilzerian's IGNITE International Brands, Ltd (CSE:BILZ) (OTCQX:BILZF) announced Wednesday it's discontinuing its cannabis business in Canada.
丹·比爾澤裏安旗下的IGNITE International Brands, Ltd（CSE: BILZ）（場外交易代碼：BILZF）週三宣佈，它將停止在加拿大的大麻業務。
Co-founded by the so-called "King of Instagram," Ignite produces CBD oil tinctures, topicals, pet products, vape devices, in addition to spirits featuring premium vodka and tequila and apparel, to name a few.
Ignite由所謂的 “Instagram之王” 共同創立，生產CBD油酊劑、外用藥物、寵物用品、電子煙設備，以及以優質伏特加和龍舌蘭酒爲特色的烈酒和服裝等。
"As we expand our portfolio of products around the world, our sales are booming except for cannabis in Canada," Bilzerian said, revealing the reason for pulling out of Canada's weed market.
比爾澤裏安說：“隨着我們在全球範圍內擴大產品組合，除大麻外，我們的銷售正在蓬勃發展，” 他透露了退出加拿大大麻市場的原因。
Bilzerian said there are "too many barriers to build a successful cannabis business" in Canada where adult-use cannabis has been legal since mid-2018.
比爾澤裏安說，在加拿大，自2018年年中以來，成人使用的大麻一直是合法的，“建立成功的大麻業務存在太多障礙”。
"Currently, very few Licensed Producers in the cannabis industry are making money, and the government's excessive restrictions of the marketing, sales, and distribution of products has diminished the business opportunity while simultaneously making the consumer experience less than optimal," Bilzerian continued. "Whenever the government decides to remove and/or reduce the restrictions in marketing, sales and distribution and allow the business community to properly serve the consumers, IGNITE will consider returning to the market."
比爾澤裏安繼續說：“目前，大麻行業很少有特許生產商能賺錢，而且政府對產品的營銷、銷售和分銷的過度限制減少了商機，同時也使消費者體驗不太理想。”“每當政府決定取消和/或減少營銷、銷售和分銷限制並允許商界爲消費者提供適當服務時，IGNITE都會考慮重返市場。”
In June 2020, CannMart Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lifeist Wellness Inc.(OTC:NXTTF), formerly known as Namaste Technologies Inc. became the exclusive distributor of Ignite products in the Canadian cannabis market. That deal was terminated several months later.
2020年6月，Lifeist Wellness Inc.（場外交易代碼：NXTTF）（前身爲Namaste Technologies Inc.）的全資子公司CannMart Inc.成爲加拿大大麻市場Ignite產品的獨家分銷商。該交易在幾個月後終止。

2020年2月，在 “天使與魔鬼” 慶祝活動中，該公司的聯合創始人丹·比爾澤裏安推出了Ignite Vodka。
The company had also teamed up with the Circle K convenience store, which resulted in the launching of 10 CBD products in more than 400 Circle K locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia a month later.
該公司還與Circle K便利店合作，導致一個月後在北卡羅來納州、南卡羅來納州和弗吉尼亞州的400多個Circle K地點推出了10種CBD產品。
Prior to this, Ignite made public that its partnership with Bō Vaping, an e-cigarette provider, yielded more CBD products to hit shelves, including a rechargeable vape pen system as well as Blood Orange and Tropical Fruit CBD pods.
