How does smile CBD explore Japanese cannabis market？
Who is smile CBD？
Smile CBD, as a pioneer in supporting Japanese cannabis legalization, is one of the most popular CBD companies among Japanese consumers. Their major business is providing a broad variety of CBD enriched products such as CBD masks and CBD vaping devices to local consumers. To support and enrich consumer lifestyle is the lifelong mission for smile CBD. A well-developed society in Japan, product safety and quality are critical. Therefore, smile CBD only works with GMP certificated suppliers and provides premium cannabis oil to the local market. This is the key to stand a competitive market like Japan.
Cannabis is a sensitive topic in Japan. Asians do not treat cannabis as a lifestyle consumer good like in western countries. It is difficult to educate people to know more about the benefits of cannabis. Besides, when it comes to medical vaping devices, it is challenging to persuade locals to accept it after the vaping crisis in 2019 in the USA. On the law side, vaping with nicotine e-liquids is regulated in Japan. Vaping devices containing nicotine liquids are considered medical devices and it is a limit of 120 mL for the one-month personal usage.Born in a country that respects technology and its development, smile CBD maintains its ambition to present the best products with evolving technology to improve Japanese lives.

Cilicon® has a standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) of selling cannabis vaporizers. However, cannabis vaping is an infant industry in Japan.
