Christine Apple’s journey into the cannabis industry began with an unexpected twist. While working as an architect, she learned about edibles, not just as a consumer but as a creator. Seeking specific flavors and effects, Apple started experimenting with chocolate-infused edibles in her own kitchen. This personal exploration quickly turned into a passion project, changing the direction of her career.

In 2015, Apple launched Grön, a company dedicated to quality and innovation in edibles. Headquartered in Oregon, Grön has grown into a recognizable name in the cannabis edibles market, expanding its reach to seven states, including Arizona. Apple channeled her architectural precision and creativity into crafting artisanal edibles that deliver both taste and effect.

A Unique Approach in a Competitive Market

Standing out in the saturated cannabis industry requires more than just a good product. Grön achieved this by redefining the rules with its flagship product, the “Mega Pearl” gummy. One gummy delivers a potent 100 mg dose, a rarity in this crowded cannabis market. While state regulations often cap edibles at 10 mg without a medical card, Grön’s Mega Pearl is ingeniously scored into 10 mg segments, offering versatility for consumers.

“It’s a product that can still deliver, but at a price point that’s more effective for consumers—higher-dose consumers,” Apple explained. Apart from these innovative gummies, Grön also offers single-serve 100 mg edibles in sea salt-dusted chocolates, balancing indulgence with functionality.

Innovative Products for Every Need

Grön’s catalog reflects the company’s commitment to crafting tailored experiences for customers. By ratioing THC with other cannabinoids, the company offers combinations that are hard to find elsewhere. For those seeking better sleep, the “Blackberry Mega Pearl,” infused with THC and CBN, is a popular choice. For an energy boost, the sativa “Blue Razzleberry” features CBG, known for its stimulating properties.

Apple’s attention to detail extends to Grön’s standard 10 mg packs. “The Tangelo” 2:1:1 sativa gummy, blending THC, CBC, and CBG, promotes daytime focus, while the “Blackberry Lemonade” line offers a balanced mix of THC, CBD, and CBN to manage insomnia. For Arizona consumers, Grön has introduced a prickly pear-flavored gummy that is available exclusively at Curaleaf dispensaries.

Affordable Offerings with a Mission

Apple envisions Grön to make wellness accessible and affordable. Starting at just $8, Grön’s products cater to a wide range of consumers without compromising quality. “Chocolate does a better job of potentially keeping you asleep longer because of the fat solubility and the way your liver processes it versus the short onset of more sugar-activated products,” Apple noted, highlighting the science behind the company’s offerings.

Elevating Lives Through Edible Experiences

Grön’s mission, as Apple describes it, is to “elevate lives.” She emphasized the importance of not just taste but the experiences her products create. “Carrying crafted edible experiences, and not just the edibles and the taste, it’s creating these experiences for people to enrich their lives,” Apple said. This philosophy has driven the company to continually experiment, exploring minor cannabinoids and their effects to diversify its product line.

Commitment to Excellence 

Dignity, excellence, and adaptability form the core principle driving all the operations at Grön. “Our three values are that we win with dignity and grace,” Apple explained. “We lift everyone around us. We hope we do. We deliver only excellence. Every product, every experience, everything we do. We embrace transformation because this industry is just constantly changing.”

Apple’s commitment has not only fueled Grön’s success but also set a benchmark for others in the cannabis industry. Her dedication to uplifting others extends to supporting women in cannabis, a field where she hopes to inspire greater female participation.

Building a Legacy

Christine Apple has turned her hobby into a thriving business that has redefined the concept of cannabis edibles. Grön’s unique approach, combined with its focus on affordability and quality, positions it as a leader in the industry.
