Canndigenous, Wisconsin’s first independent Indigenous-owned hemp farm and retailer, is bringing its lineup of flavorful and functional cannabis beverages to shelves across Chicagoland this month with distribution by Louis Glunz Beer Inc.  Canndigenous’ three tempos —Uptempo, Midtempo and Downtempo—will appear in 4-packs of 12 oz. cans across the Chicagoland area, encompassing eight-counties with a population of approximately 9 million people. Counties include Cook, DeKalb, Dupage,Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will.

The 1:1 low dose relationship of 5mg Delta-9 THC and the natural effects of CBG, CBD and CBN allow drinkers to self-regulate their consumption with confidence in three distinct tempos: 

Uptempo (5mg THC and 5mg CBG) – CBG is hemp-derived cannabinoid that delivers a positive effect on your energy, focus, clarity, motivation and mood stability while promoting physical comfort. Perfect for daytime enjoyment, this juicy citrus and bright ginger beverage with B12 vitamins is best paired with high-energy moments like running, playing guitar, hiking and biking. (12 calories)

Midtempo (5mg THC and 5mg CBD) – This green tea seltzer with honey is an intentional and innovative flavor blend featuring CBD. CBD is hemp-derived plant medicine that naturally encourages a calm and good mood, improves sleep and alleviates inflammation and pain. Midtempo is a sparkling companion for moments like cooking, play and travel. (30 calories)

Downtempo (5mg THC and 5mg CBN) – CBN reduces stress and enhances sleep. The perfect addition to a nighttime routine, Downtempo is a mixed berry seltzer that sets the mood for chill moments like unwinding in front of the television, reading and a good night’s rest. (9 calories)

“Our THC seltzers are functional without sacrificing flavor,” said Canndigenous founder Rob Pero (Bad River Ojibwe).“We use high-quality ingredients and just the right amount of cane sugar to create intriguing flavors that deliver reliably on the functional end. And the low dose blends allow folks to have what they really want—control of their experience. So they can be outgoing with Uptempo, creative and sociable with Midtempo or relaxed and calm with Downtempo.”

Canndigenous partners with Rexis Biotech to deliver this trusted family of shelf stable functional beverages that rely on true water soluble THC to deliver rapid medicinal onset and offset, dosage consistency and industry leading flavor. With a 15 minute onset time, Canndigenous THC Seltzers provide an hour of bliss and an always consistent and reliable experience.  

Canndigenous is also a founding member and ongoing supporter of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA), which advocates to increase opportunity in hemp and cannabis for the benefit of Indigenous people. As a member of ICIA, Canndigneous supports the ongoing development of Indigenous supply chains in plant medicine and industrial hemp. 

From crafting delicious natural wellness products for all, to advocacy on behalf of Indigenous communities, Canndigenous is committed to doing all things, as the Ojibwe say, “in a good way.” 

Canndigenous THC Seltzers – Uptempo, Midtempo and Downtempo – are now available at retailers across  Chicagoland and online for nationwide delivery. 

About Canndigenous 

At Canndigenous, plant-based medicine is our mission. Founded in 2018 as Wisconsin’s first independent, Indigenous-owned hemp farm and retailer, Canndigenous delivers exceptional hemp-derived products including gummies, oils, beverages and more. Our hemp is sun-grown to reflect nature’s hard work and a more sustainable process than indoor methods. In 2022, Canndigenous became the first Indigenous-owned hemp company to be awarded a research grant by the USDA’s Climate-Smart Commodities Program. We prioritize natural wellness, the finest ingredients and exceptional flavor, while fostering opportunities for Indigenous people in the cannabis industry including growers, entrepreneurs and consumers. Find our plant medicine online at Canndigenous.com.
