Grön is bringing its cannabis-infused edibles to Ohio.

The Ohio debut will feature Grön Sugar-Coated Pearls, in five flavors and ratios: Blueberry Lemonade (daytime sativa 3:1 CBG/THC), Tangelo (sativa 2:1:1 CBC/CBG/THC), Pomegranate (hybrid 4:1 CBD/THC), Blackberry Lemonade (sleepy indica 1:1:1 CBD/CBN/THC), and Tart Cherry (nightly 10:1 CBN/THC). More flavors of Pearls will be available soon.

Grön’s Sugar-Coated Pearls are made with natural fruit flavors, are free of gluten and soy, and are infused with full-spectrum cannabis extract, with each pack containing 10 10-mg pearls. Pearls will be available at the majority of dispensaries in Ohio.

In August, Grön’s MEGAs will also become available in Ohio, featuring eight flavors and ratios: Cherry Limeade (indica), POG - Passion Orange Guava (hybrid), Strawberry Habanero (sativa), Lemonade (sativa), Sour Apple (hybrid), Tropical Twist (indica), Blackberry (sleepy indica 1:1 CBN/THC), and Blue Razzleberry (daytime sativa 1:1 CBG/THC).

Grön’s MEGAs — a single-piece sugar-coated gummy with 100 mg THC— are five times larger than the standard 10 mg Sugar-Coated Pearls. Made with real fruit, MEGAs are also full-spectrum, gluten-free and soy-free.

“Ohio is a market we’ve been really excited about entering since adult-use cannabis was legalized in the state in 2023,” said Christine Apple, founder and CEO of Grön. “We think that Ohio cannabis consumers will appreciate our diverse flavors and cannabinoid ratios, giving them more options to choose from when deciding how to consume, and how they want to feel. We’re looking forward to getting to know the cannabis community in Ohio, and are confident that this launch will be the beginning of a beautiful chapter for our brand.”

For its entrance into Ohio, Grön has partnered with Standard Wellness, the first vertically integrated medical marijuana company in the state. Grön’s Sugar-Coated Pearls and MEGAs can be found at The Forest, Standard Wellness’ retail brand, with locations in Cincinnati, Sandusky and Springfield.

 “We are excited to partner with Grön, led by a proven leader, Christine, whose vision in the cannabis industry is an inspiration,” said Standard Wellness CEO Jared Maloof. “Together, we'll bring their renowned edibles to Ohio as we seek to fulfill our mission of improving quality of life through safe and easy access to cannabis.”

This news comes on the heels of Grön launching in New York in April.
