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.

Chill Out
This product line, available in both flower and pre-roll forms, embodies what stoners often seek – the art of relaxation. With two strains, Midnight Thornberry (Indica) and Cherry Trance, the Chill Out collection is designed for unwinding moments.
Thorne’s take: “It’s perfect for when I’m just listening to music, watching a movie, or having a recovery day after a long night out.”
A Bite of Bliss
For Thorne, gummies are the ultimate delight–a convenient on-the-go option when she doesn’t want to light up. Plus Gummies are her pick. These gummies cater to every mood with flavors like concord grape, tangerine, and sour watermelon.
Thorne’s view: “If I’m ever on the go or don’t want to light up, I go straight for Plus Gummies. And there’s a gummy for any mood.”
Hype Up
While some turn to cannabis for relaxation, others seek an energy boost. The Hype Up collection, with its Electric Lemon and Topanga Sunrise strains, is tailored for those looking to elevate their spirits.
Thorne’s take: “It’s the perfect product to excite me for a long night of partying, a long day of work, or to get ready to work out.”
