Products

A premium product, The Edison Cannabis Company will offer dried cannabis, pre-rolled and cannabis oil products across Canada at the advent of adult recreational use in 2018. Mined from a comprehensive research project that included the launch of ‘The Edison Project by OGI’ in November 2017, the Edison brand was founded on the ceaseless pursuit of improvement and innovation at Organigram.

The marquee sub-brand offered within the Edison family is Edison Reserve, a line of products that represents the best quality indoor grown product in the country. Edison Reserve product will only be available in larger pack sizes of dried flower, and will feature the Company’s top bud, hand manicured and craft cured for optimal consumer experience.

Organigram is Canada’s original organic cultivator; the subsequent progress and quality of product exists in the DNA of ANKR Organics.  As a result of several years of research related to perfecting the art of organic cannabis cultivation and an ongoing partnership with a governing body, Organigram is poised to offer consumers the best quality organically-grown cannabis in the country. The Company continues to finalize plans for organic certification, which is planned for later in 2018.

Through an existing partnership with Trailer Park Productions, Organigram is proud to introduce Trailer Park Buds, a cannabis brand with a wink that speaks to consumers who appreciate a sense of humor and don’t take themselves too seriously.  Focused on a value-conscious consumer who appreciates quality product, pre-rolled and blended products will be available at federally-licensed retail establishments across Canada in 2018.

Since 2014, Organigram has existed to help improve the lives of its patients through the federally-regulated medical cannabis system. Since that time, Organigram has grown to stand for a holistic approach to health focused on the pillars of quality, compassion, trust and consistency. Organigram will remain the Company’s primary medical brand.
