Wana Brands

Wana Brands was founded in 2010 by Nancy Whiteman in Boulder, Colorado, making it one of the oldest cannabis edibles companies in the US. What started as a small operation making gummies for Colorado dispensaries has grown into the #1 cannabis gummy brand in America by market share, available in 16 states.

Wana's most significant innovation came with the launch of Wana Quick in 2020 — the first major cannabis gummy brand to use nanoemulsion technology for fast-acting effects. Traditional edibles take 45–90 minutes to kick in because they must be digested and processed by the liver. Wana Quick's nanoemulsion allows cannabinoids to be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes of the mouth and digestive tract, delivering effects in as little as 5–15 minutes.

This innovation addressed one of the biggest pain points for cannabis consumers — the unpredictability of edible onset times — and helped Wana maintain its market leadership position even as competition intensified.

Wana is also notable for its commitment to vegan, gluten-free formulations and its extensive flavor variety. With over 30 SKUs across multiple states, Wana offers more gummy variety than any other brand.
