From Architect to Confectioner
Since Grön (”green” in Swedish) launched in New Jersey earlier this year, the sugar-coated fruit pearls have been a crowd favorite with their delicate flavor profiles and precise cannabinoid ratios. Recently, we spoke with Christine Smith, Grön’s founder about minor cannabinoids, getting your dose right and women in the cannabis space.
3 Pro Edibles Tips from a Master Confectioner:
1. Know Your Cannabinoids
“By focusing on minor cannabinoids, we’ve been able to create products with effects that are appropriate for either daytime or nighttime. Our new Tangelo Pearls use a 2:1:1 ratio of THC to CBC to CBG, and this formulation creates an effect that’s very energizing and uplifting. Our bestselling sleepy Indica product is the Blackberry Lemonade, which combines an equal amount of THC, CBN and CBD, creating very relaxing and soothing effects.”
Cannabinoids:
THC: the most famous cannabinoid: the one that gets you high
CBD: a light calm and a great inflammation fighter; no high
CBG: the one all other cannabinoids come from; pain relief, no high
CBN: helps with nighttime relaxation; creates a very mild high
CBC: potential brain protector; no high
2. Know Your Limits
“I fell in love with the plant but realized quickly that I’m not much of a smoker. I was looking for an alternative to alcohol that was microdosed, and I couldn’t find a product like that on the market at the time, so I created one myself!”
3. Support Women in Cannabis
“My advice to other women seeking to enter the cannabis industry is to not be afraid to fail, be decisive and take action. Be honest and share your hard-earned wisdom gained from your experiences. Women naturally build and cultivate relationships. Female leaders show up differently than male leaders in terms of building caring connections, mentoring, developing others and a sincere connection to community. In today’s world, I think this is a real superpower.
Find a niche in the market that’s something you really love and are truly passionate about, and go for it! Don’t doubt yourself.”
