PRESS RELEASE
CHICAGO (August 25, 2020) — Wana Brands, America’s favorite cannabis-infused product manufacturer, has expanded its Illinois offerings to include its popular Exotic Yuzu 2:1 CBD/THC ratio option, through its exclusive partnership with Grassroots, one of the largest medical cannabis providers in Illinois. Defined by hints of distinct acidity and unique sweetness inspired by the rare Asian fruit, Wana’s Exotic Yuzu 2:1 CBD/THC ratio is utilized by many to help calm stress and promote better sleep.
“Wana’s line of ratio products offer more options for Illinois consumers to manage their own cannabis experience,” said Nancy Whiteman, CEO, Wana Brands. “We launched our first CBD ratio product in 2017, and we often hear that Wana’s CBD-forward products provide consumers an additional way to boost their everyday health and wellness routine.”
Wana Brands designed its ratio portfolio with a range of CBD/THC combinations so the products can be used singly or in
combination to address specific wellness and recreational needs. By expanding its product line for the state, Wana Brands provides Illinois cannabis consumers and patients more alternatives to dial in their experience. In addition to the Exotic Yuzu 2:1 CBD/THC option, Wana has plans to add ratios including Strawberry Lemonade 1:1 and Strawberry 10:1 in the near future.
“At Grassroots, we believe in the power of the plant and are dedicated to innovation in the cannabis industry,” said Lisa Hurwitz, CMO, Grassroots. “We are excited to further our fruitful partnership with Wana Brands. Their gummies deliver a consistent, dependable cannabis experience, making them a preferred and high-performing product to offer to our customers.”
Wana Brands continues to innovate its products so consumers can achieve specific results from interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system. Wana’s work with its CBD/THC ratio products is one way the company is studying a greater use and application of minor cannabinoids and how it can best work with proprietary botanical terpenes to aid in sleep, pain relief and anxiety relief.
“The cannabis industry is still relatively new and we’ve barely scratched the surface in our search for all this remarkable plant can do,” Whiteman noted.
All Wana Brands gummies are handcrafted with all-natural, vegan and gluten-free ingredients and infused with CBD and THC terpene-enhanced distillate. Wana’s gummies contain no mineral oil or artificial sweeteners that can cause digestive distress. All Wana products are manufactured in line with HACCP practices and tested for potency.
