The goal is to quickly become one of the top players of the cannabis industry.”

According to ArcView, cannabis edibles sales are expected to quadruple to $4.1B by 2022*.  

“We’re excited to represent Punch Edibles,” said Dakota Sullivan, CEO of Calyx Brands. “Since the first Punch Chocolate Bar was introduced in 2013, Punch Edibles has been among the highest quality, most consistent and most creative cannabis edibles manufacturers. We look forward to helping many more consumers across the state discover this flagship brand.”
