Acreage Holdings, Inc. has launched fast-acting gummies under The Botanist brand in Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts and Ohio.

The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies aim to deliver potential effects in approximately 5-15 minutes. The gummies use AZUCA TiME INFUSION, an individual molecule encapsulation method. This proprietary infusion method allows for greater delta-9-THC absorption without an unpleasant taste or texture.

The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies may elicit more of a “euphoric” high. Vegan and gluten-free, the gummies are available in two flavors: Sparkling Orange (sativa) and Sparkling Strawberry (indica). They contain either 5 mg or 10 mg THC per dose in 10-packs or 20-packs, depending on the market. Each offering incorporates the flavor of white wine grapes, along with the added qualities of cannabis terpenes. Product offerings and descriptions may vary per market; in the state of Ohio, the gummies are listed as "The Botanist TiME Gummies."

“More cannabis consumers are looking for dose-able products that provide a predictable and positive social experience,” said Acreage CEO Peter Caldini. “The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies will meet this consumer need as an innovative edible with a quick onset and sophisticated taste. With the launch of Fast-Acting Gummies and the commencement of adult-use sales at The Botanist Montville in Connecticut, Acreage is off to an exciting start for the new year.”
