Bella Thorne, a name synonymous with the glitz of Hollywood, has become an inspiring voice in the cannabis industry. Openly advocating for the benefits of cannabis in tackling anxiety and related issues, Thorne has not only embraced its effects but has also ventured into creating her cannabis brand, Forbidden Flowers.
This step was not just about breaking taboos; it was a mission to provide cannabis products that she would proudly consume while reshaping an industry that lacked female representation.

A Passion Born From Personal Experience
For Thorne, cannabis has been a game-changer. Battling anxiety, stomach cramps, and panic attacks, she found herself frustrated by the pill-centric approach of traditional medicine. Seeking alternatives, she turned to cannabis on the recommendation of her brother. The transformation was remarkable – immediate relief, an avenue for genuine healing.
Unveiling Forbidden Flowers
In partnership with Glass House Brands, Thorne launched Forbidden Flowers in 2019. The brand offers various products, from pre-rolls to flowers and merchandise adorned with 420-friendly slogans.
Thorne's vision was clear – create a brand where authenticity and empowerment reign supreme. She aimed to shatter the silence around cannabis, offering a platform where people could embrace its benefits without judgment.
