For those not following, Friday Night is a publicly listed (CSE: TGIF) cannabis company operating in Las Vegas.

Reaction from the cannabis investment community was "Who???"... So I was curious what the thought is in here.

*In before "you smoke this one its gonna be all over baby!"

*genuine interest, but for disclosure: I hold a small # of TGIF shares.

VANCOUVER, May 28, 2018 /CNW/ - Friday Night Inc. (the Company or Friday Night) (CSE: TGIF) (FWB: 1QF) (OTCQB: TGIFF), a leading cannabis, hemp and CBD producer in Nevada, and its subsidiary, Infused MFG, are pleased to announce a one-year licensing agreement (the "Agreement") with professional poker player, Mr. Scotty Nguyen, for the launch of Canna Hemp™ branded products co-marketed under his name.

The Agreement includes the launch of two CBD-infused products created with a special blend of terpenes selected for their acute mental concentration properties: Scotty Nguyen "Focus Baby" Disposable Vape Pen and "Focus Baby" Elixir. These products will be unveiled on Tuesday, May 29th, 2018, to coincide with the 49th Annual World Series of Poker taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be sold through current dispensaries, retail stores and online at www.focusbabycbd.com.

"We are pleased to have the endorsement of poker legend Scotty Nguyen. Partnering with Scotty opens a new market vertical for Canna Hemp™ CBD products with a target audience not only at the WSOP but for anyone desiring innovative, all natural health solutions", said Mr. Chris Rebentisch, President and CEO of Infused MFG. "We are witnessing increasing demand for our Canna Hemp™ products in both Nevada and California, where Canna Hemp™ is now carried in more than 30 Californian dispensaries alone", he added.

Mr. Thuận B. "Scotty" Nguyen is the first and currently only player to win both the WSOP Main Event and the Players' Championship. He is a five-time World Series of poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, most notably as the winner of the 1998 World Series of Poker Main Event and the 2008 World Series of poker H.O.R.S.E. World Championship.

"I am very excited about the release of the "Focus Baby" Elixir and CBD Vape pen with Canna Hemp™. I love to be a part of something that I believe in and can attest to its effectiveness," commented Mr. Nguyen. "I have seen a marked difference in myself while using the Canna Hemp™ products, especially the "Focus Baby" line. I've got big goals this year and the "Focus Baby" CBD will definitely help me reach those goals."

The pre-loaded, disposable, THC-free Focus Baby pen includes mood-boosting Limonene, memory aid a-Pinene, and increased mental and physical energy from Eucalyptol and has enticing hints of grapefruit, followed by an earthy aftertaste for an enjoyable and stimulating experience when the chips are down.

If only he had that "Focus Baby" Elixir at that H.O.R.S.E final table instead of those brews he wouldn't have suffered a hit to his reputation; but would he have won it all though? Could Scotty make the mixed game transitions smoothly while high or is Focus Baby just the name? These are the important questions...

I'm already iffy about celebrity endorsements for most products (in that I can't believe they actually pay off), and I'm even moreso when it comes to securing endorsements of poker players. This has already been discussed ad nauseam on 2+2, particularly when a site strikes or ends a deal with a big-name player.

But Scotty Nguyen? Seems like he barely registers a blip on the poker radar anymore, let alone the non-poker one. Maybe one of the more puzzling endorsement deals I've seen in a long, long time.
