Colorado-based Wana Brands got its start making edible marijuana products. When using pot became more and more socially acceptable across the United States, the company recognized that there was a large percentage of the population that would be interested in trying the drug, but not smoking it. The company's edibles make marijuana less intimidating for non-smokers and appeal to a wider range of customers.
Medical Marijuana
With medical marijuana gaining legalization in several states across the US, Wana Brands looked to create a new product that would similarly make medical marijuana use more approachable for those who had little or no exposure to the drug. To fill that gap, the company has developed an extended release pill that delivers doses of the drug to a patient's system over the course of 12 hours. Each capsule contains two measured doses; one that takes effect soon after ingestion and another that activates several hours later.
Making Pot More Medical
The capsules, Wana owner John Whitman said, are a good way for the medical marijuana industry to change its image and be considered as a serious treatment option. Many people are skeptical about marijuana use for treating diseases because most of the delivery methods appear recreational. Eating a pot brownie to cope with muscle spasms or smoking a joint to deal with anxiety can make potential patients skeptical about the drug's benefits. However, time release capsules make marijuana treatments more comparable to being prescribed a traditional medicine.
Many believe that products like this one and could help propel the medical marijuana market into more states.
