Charlotte’s Web donates $1-million (US) worth of CBD in memory of Charlotte Figi

Charlotte’s Web (TSX:CWEB; OTC:CWBHF) donated $1-million (US) worth of CBD product to individuals who rely on the company’s products and may be struggling financially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The donation was made in honor of Charlotte Figi, who passed away last week from COVID-19. Charlotte, who used CBD to treat a severe form of epilepsy, inspired the name of the “Charlotte’s Web” medical cannabis strain.

“As we come together in this time of crisis and uncertainty, it’s our hope that we can also come together in love and care for one another,” Joel Stanley, co-founder of Charlotte’s Web, said in a statement.

“We’re in this together as one planet, one family with one goal: health and wellness for all,” he added.
