You may not feel the high (only 11mg per package, 0.7mg per chip), but your tastebuds will thank you for the new flavonoids!

 

Thrillist: Why Eating Cannabis-Infused Shrimp Chips With My Mom Was Shockingly Great

So not only are the shrimp chips grandma-approved and approved by Chen’s parents, they’re also now Thai mom-approved. Our shrimp chips arrived in an original and spicy flavor. The former’s aroma was familiar to my mom, who grew up snacking on shrimp chips and views it as a fun bar food to be dipped in roasted chili jam. She said the latter had a tongue-tingling mala effect (although she also agrees that her tongue might have felt a bit numb from being high) ... “Now that people are saying cannabis isn’t bad, I can see how it helps people,” my mom admits, ... “I don’t think it’s bad now,” my mom smiles, before turning back to Thai cooking videos and hair braiding tutorials on YouTube. “Just don’t eat too much.”

MJ Brand Insights: Five Questions With Fel Chen Of Potli

So let’s talk about self care and breaking bread…How do you unwind? Before I cook for you, I must warn you that my dinners are almost always medicated. Here’s an example from last night — I made a sesame cucumber tofu salad with our apple cider vinegar, olive oil and chili oil. An hour later, after I have finished my bath…and have situated myself into bed, the edibles and the delicious concoction of cannabinoids (CBD & THC) start to kick in. I listen to bedtime stories through my Calm app and am drifted into sleep.

I hope to always have a young mindset. To always be curious and open to learning new things.” This openness to new things has been particularly useful in our nascent industry. As Fel says, “There is no playbook for the recreational cannabis industry, and it’s humbling to be a tiny piece in writing the history of normalizing the plant.”

MD Berry: Leading Women Entrepreneurs Ruling the Marijuana Industry 

Christine Yi and Felicity Chen

According to the American Marijuana Organization, the marijuana industry is expected to raise $23 billion in legal sales. Currently, over 13,000 businesses are depending on marijuana to run. In addition to the medical use of the plant, you can see that the legalization of marijuana has benefits to it. Amid all these waves and breakthroughs, some women are driving this growth. They have invested, revolutionized, studied, and taught about the marijuana industry. Below is a list of 30 leading women entrepreneurs shaping the marijuana industry.

 

 

 

“We were so excited when Aster Farms approached Potli with this project,” says Chen.
The Soil to Oil experience is about showcasing true transparency in the cannabis supply chain, one that often operates behind closed doors. We're documenting the entire process so you can see what we are made of and we can't wait for you to try this delicious oil.” The Tuscan variety olives, locally blended, are balanced with a single strain of Aster Farm’s sun grown Watermelon OG. The oil — featuring bold, green, and peppery notes — is great for promoting relaxation, increasing appetites and senses, opening up dialogues, and creating lasting new experiences for yourself and with others to enjoy.


 

There are few people who can’t appreciate the beauty of a flavorful, rich olive oil. Level up a simple appetizer of bread and olive oil with Potli and Aster Farm’s luxurious cannabis-infused organic olive oil for a truly indulgent treat. Made with Tuscan-variety olives from Campodonico organic farms, the olive oil follows Potli’s tradition of “soil-to-oil,” which emphasizes how products are sourced. The olive oil itself is full bodied and delicious, and the cannabis in it is relatively stable, meaning that while it might not be best for deep frying, you can cook most food in it as normal without degrading the THC. Plus, Aster Farms’ relaxing-yet-functional Watermelon OG is a crowd pleaser — sure to suit the large majority of cannabis-consuming cooks.
 

 


The nature of California regulations makes it difficult for legal brands to collaborate. Nonetheless, such partnerships are possible, as evidenced by a new olive oil coming courtesy of Lake County cultivators Aster Farms and San Francisco manufacturers Potli. Famed for their flower and honey, respectively, these two local heavyweights have now combined forces on a limited-edition olive oil featuring 100mg of THC per container. Perfect for the culinary cannabis consumer in your life or as a treat for your own tastebuds!
 

 


Cannabis growers Aster Farms teamed with Potli on this special-edition infused EVOO. Each can of California-grown olive oil contains 100 mg of THC, to heighten the experience of whatever you serve it with.

 Why we trust them: Potli began as a cannabis company in California developing products for dispensaries. The company took the same quality standards and regulations over to the hemp-derived CBD side of the business.

Potli decided to create cannabis-infused food ingredients instead of traditional edibles like candies and chocolates so that users could have healthier and more versatile options. All the ingredients in the products themselves are the highest quality and the company's flagship honey even comes from their own beehives in Northern California!

 Christine Yi is the co-founder (alongside business partner Felicity Chen) of Potli, a company that “creates ingredients for the elevated life”—that is, CBD-infused food and cooking essentials. In addition to honey and olive oil, the company launched a chili oil, which speaks to its founders’ Asian-American backgrounds. Yi recently moved back to the West Coast from New York to be closer to their factories and dispensaries (Potli is one of the few companies operating in both the recreationally legal cannabis market and the legal hemp market).

Yi is thrilled about the the uptick in demand for Potli products and the increasing general understanding of CBD. “As a business owner in the industry, I'm of course excited by the growing interest and demand,” she says. “I'm pleased to see new, high-quality products come to market, because it means consumers have more reliable options to aid their wellness journeys. In the end, that's really the most important thing.”

It’s clear that Potli is committed to minimizing their carbon footprint while supporting local economies and ensuring our clients the utmost quality.
Additionally, Potli is on a mission to help counter the recent bee colony collapses: “For every batch of Potli sold, we build another sustainable, all-natural hive for our bee friends.

Well and Good: The 6 Cannabis Products with the Highest Marks from Cannabis Experts

CBD and Ariana Grande have at least one thing in common: Both of them are trending in a, “Click, click, click and post/ Drip-drip-dripped in gold” kind of way. Cannabidiol (the non-psychoactive part of the cannabis plant) is seemingly in every product even remotely related to wellness these days, from facial oils to bath bombs to honey…making it hard to really know what to go for. So at Well+Good’s recent CBD-themed TALK at New York City’s Made by We, we asked a panel of industry experts to share their go-to recommendations.

Among those on stage were Chelsea Leyland, a medical cannabis and epilepsy activist, Mary Pryor, the co-founder and CEO of Cannaclusive, and Anthony Saniger, founder and CEO of Standard Dose. Each of them spends a good amount of time ingesting, slathering, and even soaking in the wellness world’s latest MVP ingredient, so their recs are worth writing down—whether you’re a CBD newbie or have been interested in the plant’s, er, medicinal benefits for years and years.

Get metaphorically (and in some cases, literally) lit with these 6 expert-approved CBD products.

“[Potli is] one of my favorite in the food category,” said Saniger of the CBD-infused honey. “I use it every night before I go to sleep.”

Getting home early, I decided to pop a 5 mg Kiva chocolate and do some yoga before attempting my first cooking excursion. Ravenous post-yoga, I made myself a grilled cheese with Potli Honey. Each tablespoon is 10 mg, so I decided to dose out 5 mg. Weed honey and cheese, as expected, is delicious. So delicious I made myself a second sandwich with another serving of honey.”
