CBD company 'in talks' to sponsor Everton

CBD oil company so people might get sniffy over the cannabis thing, but it’s a medicinal product, not a recreational drug! 😃

CEO is an American Evertonian and one of the co-owners is former Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Mike Tyson!

They wanted to sponsor Camp Nou naming rights, but Barca worried they will become known as Narca if they accept!! 😂😂

Would we change from The Z-Cars theme to Afroman's 'Because I got high'?

Every post on here might sound similar to our mate over in New Brighton cosmic waves!

I read more than post on here these days but think your views have been pretty closely aligned to my own over the years, going way back to the latter days of the Moyes era.

But, come on, with Rocky and Mike Tyson on board, we'll be knockout!!! (Admittedly, the cannabis will help with the matchday experience).

I'm sure both of these heavyweights would knock some sense into the Premier League and null and void it now.

Hopefully, Marvellous Marvin Hagler will come in as our attacking coach.

As for Barcelona, renaming their stadium Hemp Nou should be a joint venture.

That was a smokin comment!

I imagine it could be plain white on the blue shirt? Can’t imagine blue on blue! They already taking that med?

It's a medicinal product, not a recreational drug. That's socially more responsible than beer or gambling, so a step up in that respect.

Colour of logo is unfortunate, but in white on a blue shirt is okay.

I heard on the bush telegraph that iron Mike got wind of this and was chasing his big cat Cheeba round the room.

I'm not poking fun at the idea but I'm equally not toking the whole thing too seriously.

I assumed Tony Bellew was a given as our media/PR man!

What a set-up – ‘weed' do really well – especially inside the ‘box'.

Perhaps Cahill can come back as well for the corner celebrations.

You’d have to be a dope not to.

Hopefully the relaxed vibe doesn't transmit to our players who are already too nice for their own good!!

Brian is right though. No red on the royal blue.

We just need to hire someone called Cheech and everything falls into place!

They have stated that the logo will NOT be in red.

We went from alcohol to gambling, and then now cannabis? Guess it's unlikely we are gonna have kits for the children with the sponsors again.

Then again, it's really about who we can attract, isn't it?

The Swissx Bramley Moorajuana Stadium

I had no idea that this was the company Mike Tyson part-owned; another reason to sign them up.

(Mike is clearly using his product for one reason only.)

As I recall that didn't work out that well on return, although the players were most proficient at White Water Rafting, Chocolate Making and Cleaning the shit out of Cuckoo Clocks.

Their performances on a Football field left a lot to be desired!

Until Big Pharma got hold of medicines in the last century, cannabis oil was a legal form of pain relief.

It's pretty much the same as being sponsored by Morphine or Ibuprofen, not your local skunk gang .

It looks like, as usual, most of the posts on here are using the standard policy of not reading the article before having their say. Or simply not letting the facts get in the way of a good pun or moan.

Yes, the ignorant will use this as a stick to beat or taunt us with. But those who actually bother to read and learn will see it is no different to being sponsored by any other pharmaceutical company. So it's 99% taunting then.

And anyway it's had all the CAA removed from it so it can't get you high!

"This war has given us the jet engine, nuclear power and penicillin. The Swiss have been at peace for 500 years and what has that got us, a better cuckoo clock."

I was told in no uncertain terms that the Swiss don't make them, the Austrians do.

Conor #33, actually I never tried the stuff until recently, taking advantage of my wife's absence (please don't anybody here tell her). It was okay, but I like brandy better.

Jamie #48, that should be "just say no."

Everton have already cut short their shirt sponsorship so something has been discussed before this latest headline came out; no other reason for Everton to cut short their contract with SportPesa, if they had not already had an offer.

However, when USM do agree a deal, Everton can then say we had offers elsewhere, but USM was the best deal on offer.

Patrick F (2), depends on which TV companies – if it's Fox and their ilk then it makes me more in favour of the bloke.

This is a medicine for now and even more in the future as its benefits become increasingly understood. It is somewhat surprising that some governments have still not fully accepted its use.

My understanding is that it is a natural product that helps with quite a number of serious conditions, particularly nerve-related cases.

Being reliant on our superannuation, my wife and I have invested a little in a company that manufactures high-tech machines for this and other leafy greens growth as well as a manufacturer of the oils.

I've read elsewhere that the logo will be changed to a light blue for our shirts – I think it was in the article in the Echo.

Apparently the owner (Alki) has seen the mock-ups and has said that whilst he isn't overly enamoured with the colour switch, it is something he can live with.

Their slogan is "For The Higher Good". Most of the other CBD manufacturers seem to promote their stuff as a much more medicinal health-food style product.

Anyway, it'd be a nice throwback to the scally days when the Street End stunk of weed.

Is what is produced regulated so we can be sure of quality?

I would have thought that this is a really grey area to get involved with just yet, liable to widespread disapproval from the medical community for some time yet unless there are regulatory changes on the way.

If anyone has seen Mike Tyson's podcast then you'll know that he stands behind his product.

But I'm not halfway through the book yet and already he's finished fighting. It's much more interesting and self-deprecating than I expected and, even if he is hard to like as a person, he earns respect for what he has accomplished.

They sorted this a few months ago, no club would end their sponsorship deal midway through, without having an offer on the table from elsewhere.

I will be very surprised if it is not USM.

Got this last night.

I presume they’re a concept without any chance of making it into production?
