LOS ANGELES and SAINT JOHN, NB, Nov. 26, 2018 /CNW/ – Civilized Worldwide Inc. (“Civilized”), a leading media and lifestyle brand that embraces and highlights modern cannabis culture, today announced plans to acquire The 420 Games, North America’s only events company that shines a spotlight on the complementary pairing of cannabis and athleticism.

The acquisition will further secure Civilized’s foothold in the U.S., particularly in California, the world’s largest, fastest-growing legalized recreational cannabis market. It will also create new revenue opportunities and reach new audiences as Civilized continues along its growth trajectory. The company plans to scale The 420 Games across North America beginning in early 2019.
