Azuca has partnered with Flower Union to introduce the first fast-acting edible infused with whole-flower cannabis. 

This solventless, whole-spectrum product offers a true-to-plant experience so consumers can taste and feel the flower's natural effects in a fast-acting, sessionable gummy.

Azuca’s Whole-Plant ACTiVATOR product captures the authentic character and strain-specific flavors of the flower, preserving the terpene experience and delivering a full-bodied flavor profile that is unique to each strain. This includes highlighting the visible flower in each gummy and celebrating the herbal and floral notes — delivering products that provide the same feeling as cannabis flower along with its taste and looks, free from artificial flavors and additives.

"The expertise of the Flower Union team has been crucial in bringing this industry-changing edible to consumers after years of in-house science development," said Kim Sanchez Rael, CEO of Azuca. "This collaboration delivers a complete plant experience that is holistic, innovative and scalable."

Flower Union works with trusted cultivators to curate a selection of cannabis strains to ensure every product embodies the distinctive essence and effects of the whole flower. For the first product batch, Flower Union is partnering with Hi-Fuel, a Colorado cultivator committed to quality and innovation, with a focus on sustainable cultivation practices. 

"By collaborating with Azuca and using its whole plant infusion, we’ve crafted a product that stays true to the flower in every way — effect, flavor and experience," said Jon Spadafora, president of Flower Union. "This gummy tastes like cannabis smells, with nothing added except a pectin base and just enough sweetness to enhance the plant’s natural flavor."

Flower Union gummies activate within 5 to 15 minutes, providing the whole-spectrum benefits of the plant with reliable, precise dosing.

"This is exactly what today’s cannabis consumer wants — an experience that stays true to the plant in both flavor and effect," Rael said. "Using whole cannabis flower, we’ve created an edible that offers fast, consistent effects while preserving the plant’s integrity."

Flower Union Artisan Gummies will be available in dispensaries across Colorado with additional state expansion to follow.
