During a South by Southwest concert series hosted by The Fader, there was something other than music vying for the attention of fans at the popular venue: CBD.
The niche music publication hosted its 17th annual three-day Fader Fort concert series and, this year, began a new partnership with Cura, a Portland-based cannabis company that also has its own line of cannabidiol products called Select CBD.
For SXSW, Select stocked its CBD pens, patches and oils inside a pair of vending machines, created by Greenbox, in the backyard. The demand was so high that organizers had to reconfigure the barricades to accommodate the crowds.
