More often than not, people confuse the word “cannabis” with “marijuana” by simply using both words interchangeably. While marijuana-products contain substantial amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), there are many different cannabis plants that contain a very small amount of THC, for which those are then simply considered to be “industrial hemp” under U.S. law rather than being labelled as marijuana. Still, when it comes to the legalization of marijuana, this decision could not only bring tremendous benefits to the economy both on a local and on a national scale, but it could also create hundreds of thousands of jobs, as well as free up scarce police resources, and even stop the huge racial disparities in marijuana enforcement. More importantly, there’s also the use of cannabis for medical and health purposes, which is often put aside. As of May 18, 2021, 36 US states and four territories have already allowed for the medical use of cannabis products. Thanks to that, the US is seeing more and more cannabis brands emerging into business by introducing new and unique cannabis-based products that are slowly becoming available for consumers who are looking to harness the many health benefits of cannabis.
These health benefits potentially include (but aren’t limited to) improvement in heart health, as well as the relief of certain types of pain such as chronic pain, an improvement of one’s lung capacity, help with weight loss, help regulating and preventing diabetes, fighting cancer, help treating depression, help in regulating seizures, and even easing the symptoms of common health conditions such as anxiety or other neurological disorders. Moreover, cannabis can also potentially help in treating autism, between many other benefits.
As such, it’s understandable why so many people want to have an ease of access to cannabis-based products.
With all that said, here are the top cannabis brands to look out for during 2022, which have all been slowly making a name for themselves behind the scenes.
22Red
Firstly, we have 22Red, a lifestyle brand that’s dedicated to provide consumers with premium cannabis goods while constantly pushing boundaries.
The 22Red brand was originally brought to life under the notion that cannabis is more than a plant, but a means to honor the creative minds inside us. As such, using only premium cannabis, the folks at 22Red are committed to educating consumers of the mental and physical benefits associated with the plant, all while always embracing cannabis consumption as a lifestyle.
22Red’s premium-cannabis products include:
The 22Red THC DISPOSABLE VAPE
This THC Disposable Vape works based on Disposable Vape Cartridges, coming available in 3 different strains – OG Kush (Indica), Strawberry Banana (Hybrid Sativa), and Watermelon (Hybrid Sativa).
22Red PreRolls
The 22Red PreRolls are pre-rolled cannabis spliffs that come ready-to-use straight out of the box, and these are available in 4 different strains – Church 22 (Hybrid), Mimosa22 (Hybrid Sativa), Caramel Gelato (Hybrid Indica), and their original 22 OG (Indica).
22Red Flower Jars
The 22Red Flower Jars come packing small buds of premium cannabis flower in small jars for on-the-go use, and these are also available in 4 different strains – Church 22 (Hybrid), Mimosa22 (Hybrid Sativa), Caramel Gelato (Hybrid Indica), and their original 22 OG (Indica).
On that note, we’d also like to talk a bit about 22Red’s brand-new mouthwatering “Buttercrunch” Flower Strain.
This newly announced premium cannabis strain is sweet, buttery, and scrumptious, featuring rich, confectionary flavors with the added touch of a classic array of Indica-dominant effects, starting with a cerebral rush that gives way to a towering wave of giggles, only to be followed by a fresh-out-the-oven, ooey-gooey, full-body melt.
The 22Red “Buttercrunch” Flower is available in 1/8 jars that have a suggested retail price of $45.
22Red Hemp-Based CBD Vapes and CBD Tinctures
In addition, 22Red also sells premium Hemp-based products, including CBD Vapes and CBD Tinctures.
Helmand Valley Growers Company (HVGC)
The second cannabis brand we’ll be talking about is Helmand Valley Growers Company (HVGC).
To put it simply, the HVGC brand is one of the most honorable cannabis brands that you can currently find in business, as their main goal it to help put an end to the opioid and suicide epidemic plaguing our Nation’s Heroes.
That’s because the company was founded and is also operated to date by a team of dedicated Marine veterans. As such, 100% of the profits goes towards the Battle Brothers Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization that funds research on how cannabis can help treat post-traumatic stress and pain in veteran soldiers.
In sum, the hard-working folks at HVGC truly believe that exploring the benefits of medical cannabis is the most effective way to combat these issues and bring proper aid to those who gave so much for the great nation that is the U.S.A. today.
HVGC’s cannabis-based products include:
HVGC Cannabis Destillate Vape Cartridges
Starting with HVGC’s original Cannabis Destillate Vape Cartridges, these come packaged in .5g cartridges which are crafted to provide minimal loss of terpenes and ensure consistency you can feel with each hit.
HVGC 100% Liquid Live Resin Strain Vape Cartridges
Secondly, we also have HVGC’s newly-released 100% Liquid Live Resin Strain Vape Cartridges, which are formulated to provide a potent and flavorful high while also delivering you the full spectrum of cannabinoid compounds and terpenes straight from the highest tier of cannabis flower.
For those interested in specifically trying out HVGC’s Live Resin Strain Vape Cartridges, know that you can already find these available at participating California dispensaries.
HVGC Pre-Rolls
Lastly, we have the company’s HVGC Pre-Rolls. These high-quality pre-rolled cannabis spliffs are awesome, as they’re designed for on-the-go use at your convenience.
All of HVGC’s cannabis-based products are available in multiple cannabis strains such as Indica, Sativa, and even a Hybrid strain.
Insane “Churro Cookies”
Lastly, we have the Insane Brand, which was founded by legendary hip hop artist B-Real in a partnership with Big Pete’s, one of California’s most recognized edibles brands.
The company has been making waves in the cannabis market with their impressive new cannabis product, the Insane Churro Cookies. Each bag of Insane Churro contains 10 churro cookies, each dosed with 10mg of Fire Cut OG cannabis Indica.
The cookies taste exactly like a traditional churro, which are known for their decadent and soft buttery flavor, doused in cane and brown sugar and sprinkled with cinnamon.
A staple of Latin cuisine, churros have been synonymous with Mexican dessert since the 16th century. The creation of the churro edible is an updated take on the beloved cookie that appeals to both cannabis novices and connoisseurs.
More importantly, the B-Real himself (the hip hop artist behind the brand’s Insane Churro collaboration) will be making an in person appearance at Dr. Greenthumb’s Sylmar on April 20 to celebrate the launch of the awesome product that is the Insane Churro Cookies.
For those interested in trying them out, know that you can already find the Insane Churro Cookies available in all Dr. Greenthumb’s locations.
