Company Description
LFTD Partners Inc. (OTCQB: LIFD) is a publicly traded holding company based in Jacksonville, Florida. According to the company's disclosures in recent press releases, LFTD Partners is the corporate parent of Lifted Made, a manufacturer and seller of hemp-derived and other psychoactive products, as well as hemp-free wellness and energy gummies. The company operates in the Manufacturing sector and is associated with the industry category "Software and Other Prerecorded Compact Disc, Tape, and Record Reproducing," while its operating narrative centers on branded cannabinoid, wellness, and energy products.
Business Structure and Core Operations
LFTD Partners Inc. describes itself as the parent corporation of Lifted Made, located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Lifted Made manufactures and sells hemp-derived and other psychoactive products under its Urb brand. In addition, Lifted Made produces hemp-free health and wellness gummies under the Mielos brand and hemp-free energy gummies under the Rebel brand. These brands position the company in the hemp-derived cannabinoid, wellness, and functional confectionery markets.
The company states that Lifted Made is the worldwide, exclusive manufacturer and seller of Diamond Supply Co. and Cali Sweets hemp-derived products. Lifted Made is also described as the exclusive manufacturer and seller in the United States of hemp-derived products for a subsidiary of a large, publicly traded U.S. marijuana company. Through these arrangements, LFTD Partners participates in private-label and collaboration-based product manufacturing in addition to its own brands.
Brands and Product Focus
Within LFTD Partners, Lifted Made is highlighted as a leading hemp, wellness and energy products maker. The company emphasizes several brand pillars:
- Urb – a brand for hemp-derived and other psychoactive products, described as award-winning in company news releases.
- Mielos – hemp-free health and wellness gummies, which place the company in the non-hemp supplement-style confectionery space.
- Rebel – hemp-free energy gummies, reflecting a focus on energy-oriented edible products.
In addition to its own brands, Lifted Made collaborates with third parties. Company announcements describe Lifted Made as the worldwide, exclusive manufacturer and seller of Diamond Supply Co. and Cali Sweets hemp-derived products, and as the exclusive U.S. manufacturer and seller of hemp-derived products for a subsidiary of a large, publicly traded U.S. marijuana company. These relationships underscore LFTD Partners' role in branded manufacturing and distribution for both internal and partner labels.
Investments and Related Interests
LFTD Partners Inc. reports minority equity stakes in several companies connected to hemp-derived beverages and craft spirits. The company states that it owns 4.99% of hemp-derived beverage and products maker Ablis, and 4.99% of craft distillers Bendistillery Inc. d/b/a Crater Lake Spirits and Bend Spirits, Inc., all located in Bend, Oregon. These investments extend LFTD Partners' exposure beyond hemp-derived edibles and psychoactive products into beverage and spirits manufacturing.
Regulatory and Legislative Environment
LFTD Partners' recent disclosures highlight significant regulatory and legislative considerations for its hemp-derived business. In a news release discussing its third quarter 2025 results, the company describes the enactment of H.R. 5371, the “Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026,” which includes a national ban on intoxicating hemp-derived consumable products scheduled for November 12, 2026. The company states that it is unknown whether the relevant sections of the Act will ultimately go into effect as written or be modified by subsequent legislation.
In that same disclosure, LFTD Partners explains that the Act would likely have a material adverse impact on its business and the price of its common stock. The company outlines potential effects such as the elimination of a substantial portion of Lifted Made's sales, goodwill impairment charges related to acquisitions, an investment impairment charge relating to its stake in Ablis, and significant inventory write-offs if hemp-derived products remain in inventory at the time of a ban. These statements underscore the company's sensitivity to changes in U.S. federal hemp legislation.
Expansion into Regulated Cannabis and Real Estate
Beyond hemp-derived products, LFTD Partners has announced plans to expand into the regulated marijuana industry in Illinois through letters of intent. According to a February 2025 press release, LFTD Partners and Lifted Made entered into letters of intent for multiple proposed transactions. These include potential acquisitions of Illinois cannabis licenses (craft grow, infuser and transport), equipment and inventory; a long-term lease of industrial space in Skokie, Illinois built out for marijuana product manufacturing; two industrial buildings in Rockford, Illinois that may be used for cannabis cultivation, THC-infused beverage manufacturing, or other purposes; and a hemp-derived products manufacturer and interests in two retail businesses in Rockford.
The company notes that these transactions are subject to numerous conditions precedent, including regulatory approvals, completion of transfers of licenses and assets, satisfaction of certain liabilities, lender approvals, audits, securities filings, and execution of definitive agreements. Company disclosures emphasize that there is no assurance that all conditions will be fulfilled or that the transactions will close. These statements frame the Illinois expansion as a strategic initiative that remains contingent on regulatory and transactional milestones.
Collaborations and Market Presence
LFTD Partners has highlighted collaboration-based growth in the marijuana market through Lifted Made's relationship with Urb NM in New Mexico. In a December 2024 press release, the company reported that Urb NM, a collaborator of Lifted Made, was named the "Fastest Growing" marijuana brand in New Mexico in the LeafLink List 2024. The collaboration involves Urb NM formulating, packaging, selling, and distributing Urb cannabis products to dispensaries across New Mexico under an exclusive arrangement in that state. This demonstrates how Lifted Made extends its Urb brand into regulated marijuana markets through partnerships.
In addition, the company has announced brand development initiatives such as Urb's "Fly High" brand identity and the Urb Miles loyalty program. The Fly High concept, as described by the company, curates a portfolio of cannabinoids and terpenes into effect-based blends and related products under the Urb brand. The Urb Miles loyalty program is structured with multiple membership tiers and rewards based on purchases and milestones, reflecting a focus on brand engagement and repeat customers for Urb's online and retail channels.

Risk Profile and Industry Context
