Kushy Punch

Kushy Punch emerged in 2014 when founder and CEO Ruben Cross pivoted from cultivation to address a critical gap in the cannabis market. Frustrated by the lack of standardized dosing and healthy edible options available at dispensaries, Cross developed Kushy Punch's signature organic, non-GMO full-spectrum gummy formula. The brand became a pioneer in California's cannabis market during the "wild west" days of pre-recreational cannabis, establishing FDA-standard development and compliance protocols that delivered much-needed consistency.Since then, Kushy Punch has evolved into one of California's most iconic cannabis brands and the state's top-selling gummy. The company expanded its reach across multiple states, with current operations in Arizona, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, and New York. In 2020, Happy Brain Inc. acquired licensing rights to the brand, with CEO Arutyun Barsamyan (Harry Bee), who was one of Kushy Punch's original advisors in 2014, returning to lead the brand's continued growth and innovation in the expanding cannabis market.

Kushy Punch operates as a multi-state cannabis brand with a strong presence across eight states: Arizona, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, and New York. The brand has established distribution in approximately 80% of California's dispensaries, demonstrating their market penetration and retailer confidence.
