American Weed Co.

Summary
Veteran-owned cannabis brand on a mission to legalize weed for every American veteran.
Description

American Weed Co. operates throughout California with plans to expand into Arizona and Nevada markets. Their product lineup centers around three distinct offerings inspired by legendary WWII military units: Devil's Dawn (sativa-leaning for energy and fun), Bombed Buzz (indica-leaning for relaxation), and Armored Angel (the first-to-market CBN sleep joint).What sets them apart is their proprietary "terpene stacking" infusion process that ensures consistent taste, smell, and effects every time. Each strain comes in both regular versions (20-25% THC) and high-potency versions (35-40% THC), available as flower in military-inspired child-proof bags or as pre-rolls called "Rockets" packaged in authentic-looking metal tins.Their distinctive military-themed packaging, designed by Pentagram Austin, features spray-painted stencil typography and faux squadron insignias that appear punched into the metal containers. All products are specifically formulated to address conditions commonly suffered by veterans and first responders, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and chronic pain.
