LEVEL

LEVEL was founded by Chris Emerson, PhD, a scientist with a doctorate in small molecule chemistry who left a promising pharmaceutical career to revolutionize cannabis. After beginning his own journey with plant medicine and completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford, Chris recognized that the legal cannabis industry was fixated on maximizing THC percentages at the expense of other valuable compounds naturally found in the plant.Deciding to quit his Stanford postdoctoral fellowship to pursue an innovative approach to cannabis was the first step in a series of false starts, failures, and ultimately, breakthroughs. Chris is a veteran of the US armed forces, having proudly served in the Navy as a Chinese Interpreter. Founded in San Francisco, LEVEL launched with one ambitious goal: to create unique, targeted effects-based cannabis products by formulating cannabinoids in ratios not accessible from the plant alone.The company has achieved remarkable success, becoming the #1 tablet brand in California and maintaining consistent dominance in the capsules category across multiple states from October 2024 through January 2025. LEVEL was recognized by High Times as one of the Top Cannabis Brands of 2020, cementing its position as an industry innovator focused on education over marketing.

LEVEL is a science-driven cannabis company at the forefront of cannabinoid research and innovation, developed and manufactured in San Francisco. The company currently operates across five states: California, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and Michigan.LEVEL specializes in premium edible tablets called Protabs that are vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, and calorie-free, scientifically formulated for consistency, purity, and predictable desirable effects. Their product lineup includes multiple specialized formulations: Protabs for everyday use, extra-strength and professional-strength options, Hashtabs infused with cold water hash, and their premium Rosintabs formulated exclusively from live rosin.The vast majority of cannabis products on the market only contain delta-9 THC and/or CBD, but LEVEL's product lineup offers unique formulations with high concentrations of rare cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, THCA, THCV, and delta-8 THC. All LEVEL products are formulated from 100% cannabis-only cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids, maintaining the maximum fidelity of the cannabis plant with no superfluous ingredients.
