Howls specializes in full-spectrum cannabis tinctures made using a 5,000-year-old whole plant infusion method that transfers the complete profile of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids directly into organic avocado oil. They're the only tincture or edible in Massachusetts infused directly with cured cannabis flowers and live kief, using gentle heat and stirring rather than harsh solvents or pressurized gas.Their current lineup features three strain-specific formulas – Nighttime, Anytime, and Daytime – all containing 500mg THC in 1/3 oz bottles with 100 servings each. Daytime uses Sativa strain Lemon Jeffery for energy and socializing, Anytime features Hybrid strain Temple Kush for balance and euphoria, while Nighttime provides sleep support with Indica genetics.Each bottle contains no isolates, extractions, distillates, additives, sweeteners, mystery terpene blends, fractionated oils, flavorings, or chemical solvents. The measured dropper allows precise dosing from 1mg drops up to 50mg per dropperful. Available throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island dispensaries, Howls maintains the traditional "flower in a bottle" experience that patients have relied on for over a decade.

Howls began in 2012 as a deeply personal journey when founder Peter Glantz, a patient dealing with chronic eye pain following a failed surgery, started making cannabis tinctures for himself using traditional herbalist methods he'd practiced for 15 years. What started as medicine for four patients in a Rhode Island co-op quickly grew into something much larger when patients began experiencing life-changing results – including one woman who danced around the room after cleaning her house for the first time in two years.From serving Rhode Island patients since 2012, Howls expanded to Massachusetts in 2018, eventually becoming the most popular tincture in Massachusetts & Rhode Island. The brand's name evolved from "Howl's" (representing the wolf pack community) to "Howls" – symbolizing the collective voices of patients whose stories shaped every formula. By 2024, Howls had climbed to rank 4th in Massachusetts' Tincture & Sublingual category, with their Daytime Max Tincture (500mg) becoming the top-performing product in the category with 177 units sold in November 2024.

Founded by a patient to serve patients, Howls' mission is to provide sustainable access to traditionally made whole plant infused tinctures to everyone who can benefit from them. Their plant medicine approach recognizes that the benefits extend beyond what's in the bottle – the culture, education, community, and storytelling surrounding it improve the efficacy of the tincture itself.The brand makes decisions based on safety and efficacy first, personally knowing people who depend on their products daily – from severely autistic non-verbal children to elders in hospice care. Consistency remains their core value, ensuring people can rely on Howls every day with the same potency and effect in every batch. They believe the greatest gift of this healing plant is how it brings together families, communities, and friends – their pack. Their mission includes keeping this valuable plant medicine available on the market, even if traditional methods cost more than modern extraction techniques.

At Calm Effect, we're impressed by Howls' unwavering commitment to traditional methods in an industry racing toward efficiency. While competitors suggested switching to butane extraction for better margins, founder Peter Glantz refused to compromise the plant medicine approach that patients depend on. The results speak for themselves – their Daytime formula ranks #1 in Massachusetts' tincture category.We love that they've simplified their line from single and double-strength formulas to one universal 500mg strength that works for both new users and heavy consumers. Their transparent approach of incorporating real patient feedback into every batch creates products that genuinely serve the community. For deal-seekers, Howls offers exceptional value – 100 precise servings per bottle with strain-specific effects you can actually feel. When you buy Howls, you're getting literally "flower in a bottle" with no fillers, additives, or shortcuts. It's authentic cannabis medicine made the way it should be.
