Wisconsin’s First Indigenous Hemp Beverages From Canndigenous Enters Distribution With Wisconsin Distributors
Cambridge, Wis., Feb. 20, 2025 — Canndigenous, Wisconsin’s first independent Indigenous-owned hemp farm and retailer, is bringing its lineup of delicious functional cannabis beverages to shelves across Wisconsin this month with distribution by Wisconsin Distributors.
As the first Indigenous cannabis beverages to launch in Wisconsin, Canndigenous THC Seltzers are functional low-calorie plant medicine beverages made with real cane sugar. The 1:1 low dose relationship of 5mg Delta-9 THC and the natural effects of CBG, CBD and CBN allow drinkers to self-regulate their consumption with confidence.
Canndigenous partners with Rexis Biotech to deliver this trusted family of shelf stable functional beverages that rely on true water soluble THC to deliver rapid medicinal onset and offset, dosage consistency and industry leading flavor. With a 15 minute onset time, Canndigenous THC Seltzers provide an hour of bliss and an always consistent and reliable experience.
“Plant medicine is functional but it doesn’t have to taste like medicine,” said Canndigenous Founder Rob Pero (Bad River Ojibwe). “We use just enough real cane sugar and the highest quality medicinal ingredients, because function shouldn’t replace flavor. With the variety of experiences different cannabinoids can create, we created three tempos that taste delicious and fit into any daily routine.”
Canndigenous is a founding member and ongoing supporter of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA), which advocates to increase opportunity in hemp and cannabis for the benefit of Indigenous people. As a member of ICIA, Canndigneous supports the ongoing development of Indigenous supply chains in plant medicine and industrial hemp. Canndigenous is a sponsor of the ICIA’s upcoming third annual Wisconsin Cannabis Industry & Policy Summit and was the first Indigenous-owned hemp company to be awarded a research grant by the USDA’s Climate-Smart Commodities Program.
Canndigenous THC Seltzers all provide a 1:1 low dose ratio of 5mg Delta-9 THC and the natural effects of CBG, CBD and CBN in three distinct tempos:
Uptempo (5mg THC and 5mg CBG) – CBG is hemp-derived cannabinoid that delivers a positive effect on your energy, focus, clarity, motivation and mood stability while promoting physical comfort. Perfect for daytime enjoyment, this juicy citrus and bright ginger beverage with B12 vitamins is best paired with high-energy moments like running, playing guitar, hiking and biking. (12 calories)
Midtempo (5mg THC and 5mg CBD) – This green tea seltzer with honey is an intentional and innovative flavor blend featuring CBD. CBD is hemp-derived plant medicine that naturally encourages a calm and good mood, improves sleep and alleviates inflammation and pain. Midtempo is a sparkling companion for moments like cooking, play and travel. (30 calories)
Downtempo (5mg THC and 5mg CBN) – CBN reduces stress and enhances sleep. The perfect addition to a nighttime routine, Downtempo is a mixed berry seltzer that sets the mood for chill moments like unwinding in front of the television, reading and a good night’s rest. (9 calories)
From crafting delicious natural wellness products for all, to advocacy on behalf of Indigenous communities, Canndigenous is committed to doing all things, as the Ojibwe say, “in a good way.”
Canndigenous THC Seltzers – Uptempo, Midtempo and Downtempo – are now available at retailers across Wisconsin and online for nationwide delivery.
