Wana Brands launches new CBD/THC ratio for Ohio’s medical market

PRESS RELEASE

Pomegranate Blueberry Acai Sour Gummies 5:1 fill a niche

Eastlake, Ohio (June 15, 2020)—Wana Brands, which has seen major success in the Ohio medical marijuana market since introducing its products to the state through an exclusive partnership with Buckeye Relief, is adding one of its most popular ratios to its Ohio roster: Wana Sour Gummies Pomegranate Blueberry Acai CBD/THC 5:1. The ratio joins other Wana Sour Gummies ratios that allow patients to dial in their experience, including Exotic Yuzu 2:1 CBD/THC and Strawberry 10:1 CBD/THC.

Bursting with refreshing, sweet and tangy flavors, each gummie contains 25 mg of CBD and 5mg of THC. Each container holds 20 gummies, yielding a total of 500mg CBD and 100mg THC per package. The 5:1 variety is filling a niche in the medical marijuana market, offering the therapeutic effects of cannabidiol (CBD) along with the complementary effects of a small amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

For many patients, 5:1 is the perfect ratio to achieve the “entourage effect,” which is based on the idea that the two cannabinoids, CBD and THC, (along with many other components of cannabis) help each other work. Research has shown that, for at least some therapeutic uses, CBD products that contain a little THC–the molecule in cannabis that in sufficient doses causes the plant’s famous euphoric effect–might work better than CBD products with no THC. In a 5:1 ratio, most patients will feel very little if any euphoric effect of the THC, while still benefiting from it therapeutically. It will hit the spot for people who have found that other ratios don’t work quite as well as they would like.

“Wana has always sought to give patients as many options as possible,” said Nancy Whiteman, CEO, Wana Brands. “The Wana Sour Gummies Pomegranate Blueberry Acai CBD/THC 5:1 are ideal for people who want just enough THC to do the job with minimal psychoactivity. I personally use this product to help me sleep. And like all of our gummies, they taste delicious.”

“We are very excited to deliver the newest flavor of Wana gummies to the Ohio marketplace,” said Buckeye Relief Executive Chef Marc London. “The 5:1 ratio of CBD to THC is a perfect blend of cannabinoids to help patients achieve some relief. Hard to believe medicine can taste this good.”

Made from a proprietary artisan recipe featuring all-natural flavors and colors, Wana Pomegranate Blueberry Acai Sour Gummies are handcrafted and infused with tincture during the cooking process to create a delicious, fruity flavor that is consistent, potent and reliable. Like all Wana gummie products, they are made with vegan ingredients and are gluten-free. Wana Gummies also contain no sorbitol or mineral oil, both of which can cause stomach upset.

The 5:1 product will join other Wana products that were introduced in Ohio last year, including Mango Sativa, Blueberry Indica, Watermelon Hybrid, Strawberry Lemonade 1:1 CBD/THC and Yuzu 2:1 CBD/THC. Other items from Wana’s carefully curated line of infused cannabis products will be added in the future.

CBD is one of the most well-known and researched cannabinoid molecules found in cannabis, and scientists are exploring its potential — both alone and together with THC and other components of the cannabis plant — to provide relief from issues such as chronic pain, anxiety, muscle aches, spasms and more.

Wana Brands has invested in refining its proprietary recipes so that the taste of the company’s delicious ingredients comes through—not the taste of medicine—producing artisan-quality edibles and medicinal products that have undergone rigorous internal and external testing to ensure precise dosage and consistency.
