Wana Brands

What a week for hemp-derived THC! You heard it right: Wana is officially available Edibles.com, a new wellness platform from the same folks behind Edible Arrangements). A big win for convenient, accessible cannabis wellness and we’re thrilled to be part of it! ??

"Hey dude - How was your trip to New York?" Well it was all right.. My team isn't really that fun or anything. ?? Photos here for evidence of that. PS - Emily Chamoff, you're off camera duty for beheading me ??

I've been in the legalized cannabis industry since about 2012. I never thought I'd see the day when I could say that A) Wana has beverages! and B) Those beverages are now available in Total Wine & More stores across nine states (AZ, TX, IN, FL, NC, SC, KY, NE and NJ). So excited about this opportunity to bring the plant, and our tested, precisely dosed, consistent products to consumers across the country. Huge shout out to the Wana Brands team that made it happen, and especially to Eric Block for making this a reality. Please check them out next time you're in a Total and let us know what you think! And if you don't live in one of those states, or you just like having things shipped to your house, check out our beverages online as well as shopwanderous.com.

Howdy, Texas!?For the first time ever, you can now find Wana gummies at retail locations across the Lone Star State. Our hemp-derived gummies are here to bring you the effective plant-based wellness solutions that are trusted by customers across the nation. Keep an eye out at your favorite local shops! ? ?????? https://lnkd.in/gUVk6c6Y

Wana's THC-infused hemp beverages have officially started rolling out at Total Wine & More — making it easier than ever to get that consistent, reliable Wana experience so many know and love. You can find all three flavors online at totalwine.com or in-store in AZ, TX, IN, FL, NC, SC, KY, NE, and NJ. More locations are coming soon, so keep an eye out! ??

This post is about a month overdue, but better late than never has always been my motto! Officially one year at Wana Brands ?? what a fun and rewarding ride it’s been? shifting from marketing to sales in this industry wasn’t without its challenges - and I’m still learning every day. I’m incredibly grateful that Shane Chace Dwyer reached out & Courtney Eder took a chance on me and that I’ve had the incredible support of our entire MA team (past & present) along the way. I’m inspired every day by the incredible innovation happening behind the scenes at Wana - I can tell you that there is no other company in this market putting the same level of time, science, research, and thought into their products. It’s truly incredible and I feel both proud and lucky to be part of it all. Right around when I accepted the role with Wana last year, my dog Remy was diagnosed with cancer. When I told the team, they offered to push my start date to make sure I could take care of him. This was my first sign that I made the right move coming to this company. When I had my first meeting with HR and told them I was getting married in September, they offered me extra PTO so I could enjoy my wedding. No exaggeration, my jaw dropped. A cannabis company that realizes and respects that you have a life outside of your job? Talk about a unicorn. Our products speak for themselves, but my team is what has truly made this last year special. Without Hillary Budreau Dana Siska Sarah Rodgers Samantha Cardin and Therese in my corner I can confidently say I would not be nearly as successful in this new-to-me role. Between supporting me as I navigated the transition from marketing to sales, to covering me during one of the busiest (but most fun) years of my life, to being there for me when I eventually lost Remy and more recently our other pup, Dano. They haven’t let me fail and I’m so grateful. The cherry on top? We’ve had so much fun along the way! I’d be lying if I said 2025 was off to a great start. Less than two months in, in the thick of seasonal depression season in New England…there’s been more downs than ups lately. BUT I’d also be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to see where this year takes me. Here’s to all the new challenges, opportunities, and FUN to come in 2025 ?

A toast to great design! Wana Lemonade was honored with the Best in Class and the Award of Distinction at the 2025 PAC Global Design Awards—recognizing not only what’s inside but also the bold, playful packaging outside. Designed in collaboration with illustrator Beto Val, our cans were crafted with care to capture the essence of our infused lemonade. Grateful for the recognition and excited for what's to come with our hemp-derived products!?
