Rumors and Controversy

Slade Smiley and his fiance, Gretchen Rossi teamed up with the company, BioReigns which makes water-soluble CBD products. From their partnership with the company, they sold three products; a calming tincture, metabolism-boosting capsules, and so-called “sleep formula” called CBD ZZZ.

Though labels on their calming tincture claimed that the product had 560 mg of CBD, lab tests indicated that it had only about 1 mg. This got the couple into trouble. When questioned, Slade claimed that the amount on the label is correct because “that’s the amount that’s in the bottle.”

His fiance added, “If this label is misleading in any way, I want to make sure that we change it.”

Since then, the product’s label has been changed.
