Wana Brands has built a veritable gummy empire. Its founder Nancy Whiteman is prolific in the cannabis industry for her business acumen, and Wana’s footprint across multiple markets is a testament to the brand’s hard work. Created in 2010 with its headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, Wana now finds a home on shelves across North America including 15 states in the U.S. and 9 provinces in Canada, as well as Puerto Rico.
Wana is a powerhouse: the brand generates nearly $300 million in sales annually across more than 3,000 retailers. Its potent little edibles have built up a reputation for their consistency. A new lineup of Wana flavors has dropped just in time for summer. On the rocks with some lime, Wana’s new summer offerings include Quick Lime Margarita Gummies with a 1:1:1 ratio of 5mg each of THC, CBD, and CBG in each gummy. The new margarita-flavored cannabis edible can be felt in 5-15 minutes.
Wana’s trailblazing “Quick” edible line will take front and center in consumers’ summer celebrations, thanks to their fast-acting effect. The best aspect of the gummies for summertime sessions? They are melt-proof in even the hottest weather. Innovations like this one —and new non-intoxicating Wana Optimals Quick Calm stress relief gummies, another fast-acting, CBG-powered product—are part of Wana’s mission to unlock new ways for cannabis to address a range of consumers’ different recreational and wellness goals.
“Cannabis has the potential to help a range of people seeking a variety of wellness and recreational goals, and we’d like to connect with those who want to learn more,” explained Nancy Whiteman, CEO of Wana Brands. “Wana’s team develops science-driven products to innovate how we can approach relaxation, recreation, anxious feelings, sleepless nights, and creativity. If you are new to cannabis or haven’t visited a dispensary in a long time, you will be surprised at how cannabis has evolved as a recreational and wellness tool.”
Wana’s “Enhance Your Summer” Product SKUS:
- Wana Quick Lime Margarita 1:1:1: Just in time for summer, Wana’s Quick version of its CBG-forward gummy is the ideal edible for seasonal social functions, from barbecues to days at the beach. Cannabigerol (CBG) is a cannabinoid known to produce a relaxed, alert and focused effect, while cannabidiol (CBD) has been shown to relax muscles, help relieve pain, and may even minimize anxiety. When combined in equal parts, the result somewhat calms the effects of THC, providing a pleasant, more relaxed experience.
- Wana Classic Passionfruit Pineapple 1:1:1: Wana’s first CBG/THC/CBD product, this CBG-forward gummy contains 10mg CBG, 10mg CBD, and 10mg THC per serving. Early consumer feedback suggests that the Passionfruit Pineapple 1:1:1 formulation results in a calming and creatively inspiring high that’s especially well suited toward hanging out with friends or creating something.
- Wana Optimals Quick Calm: A cannabinoid-powered gummies comprised of 1mg THC alongside 10mg CBD, 10mg CBG, 50mg L-Theanine, and 30+ stress-relieving terpenes, Quick Calm offers a fast-acting option to relieve anxious feelings with little to no intoxication in just 5-15 minutes.
- Wana Optimals Stay Asleep: Each dream berry gummy contains 20mg CBD for calming and relaxing effects and promoting REM sleep; 5mg CBN, which can lower stress, relieve tension, and alleviate physical discomfort; 5mg CBG for its relaxing and anti-inflammatory effects; 10mg THC, which works with the CBD to help regulate the body’s circadian rhythm; and 30+ specialized terpenes that induce sleepiness.
- Wana Optimals Fast Asleep: Fast, effective and innovative, each gummy is created to onset in less than 15 minutes. Each dream berry gummy contains 10mg CBD, 2mg CBN, 2mg CBG, 2mg THC, 1mg melatonin, and 30+ terpenes that may help consumers regulate sleep.
- Quick Fast-Acting Gummies: Fast-acting Wana Quick gummies are a summer staple due to their quick onset nano-encapsulation technology, shorter duration and unique Delta-9-THC effects – similar to smoking or vaping – that make them well suited for time-limited social events. Available in Indica, Sativa, and THC/CBD 1:1, all containing 10mg per gummy, Quick gummies come in unique flavors such as Strawberry Margarita, Peach Bellini, Island Punch, and Appletini.
“I’m always the guinea pig,” Whiteman, who tests every product Wana creates, told Forbes earlier this year. Wana’s gummies all are made with a proprietary vegan recipe using all-natural organic sweeteners and real fruit pectin. Unlike other edible competitors, Wana’s products are never made with high-fructose corn syrup or animal-derived gelatin.
Wana Brands displays edible industry expertise in its different cannabinoid ratios as well as a variety of different dosages, onset times and duration of effects. Wana has become a beloved edible maker since its inception with North America’s largest distribution footprint. Wana is developing cutting-edge formulations and recipes for all of its products. Some of these utilitarian effect formulations include the Quick Fast-Acting Gummies as well as the Optimals Fast Asleep formulation. Wana is committed to the local communities it serves by supporting more than 50 charitable organizations in the markets where it operates.
