By I finally caught up with Wilfred Cannabis operator Jason Gann, who rose to stardom in January 2021, has weathered the ups and downs of startup cannabis ownership.
Today he continues to survive, learn and grow his brand. Wilfred CBD and hemp, and his entrepreneurial spirit. While doing so, he has his usual entrepreneurial spirit. In addition to running the brand, Gann is embarking on further efforts to grow the brand while giving back to his fans and the cannabis community.
Wilfred Cannabis
Launched in December 2020, the Wilfred Cannabis brand is California, highlighted by THC pre-roll smoke shaped like tobacco. A few months later, CBD smoke rolled around as well. The THC brand gradually started to turn a profit across the California market. There was immediate interest among die-hard fans of the Australian and US versions. Wilfred, co-created by Gann. Recognition led to book conferences, appearances, and sales.
Fueled by marketing efforts such as in-store demos, Gann took charge of half shifts for himself and Wilfred to meet and report strong growth potential for the THC brand. He said it could expand to Oregon, Washington, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
But the pandemic combined with product and partner issues hit Wilfred hard. The growth plan failed. Rather than moving forward, the THC brand stopped in his 2021.
Like many ambitious cannabis operators, Gann has turned around to stay in business. Having put his THC efforts on hold, he’s now focusing on his CBD line and his Delta-8, a controversial product he stands by.
Delta-8-THC, a natural chemical cannabinoid found in small amounts in the hemp and marijuana plants, certainly has supporters and operators like Gann. We advocate the use of low intensity highs. Many others have defended Delta-8 because it bypasses the ban on Delta-9-THC and can be sold legally.
Most concerns about Delta-8 relate to flower quality and potential solvent spray during production. Delta-8 proponents often refute this claim, suggesting that very few bad guys participate in such practices. Still, many states have banned or partially banned its sale and production while the debate continues. 14 states Passed legislation against Delta 8 as of January 2023.
Gann said he became a fan of Delta 8 after being introduced to it during the pandemic.
“I am a spokesperson for Delta 8,” Gann said. He continues:
On the CBD side, Wilfred Cannabis continues to source flowers from an unnamed Tennessee-based hemp grower. Each CBD cigarette contains 80-100 mg of his CBD. Meanwhile, THC brands are looking for new ways to enter various US markets. Multiple regional license agreements are being considered, including California, Illinois, New York and Australia.
Gann touched on some of the positives in the licensing, including, “We want to work with a licensing partner who understands the value of the brand and wants to get exclusive rights in that state.”
Currently based in Galicia, Spain with his wife and children, Gyan splits his time between his wife’s home country and the United States to attend to brands, production partners and other business operations.
