Tonic

Founded in 2017 by biochemist Dr. Sarah Chen and herbalist Michael Rivera, Tonic emerged from a shared vision to create cannabis products that deliver consistent, predictable experiences. What began as a small lab operation in Oakland, California has blossomed into one of the most trusted names in cannabis tinctures.The founders' complementary expertise—Chen's scientific precision and Rivera's holistic approach—created a perfect balance that defines Tonic's philosophy. Their breakthrough came in 2018 with the development of their proprietary nano-emulsion technology, dramatically improving cannabinoid absorption and onset time.By 2020, Tonic had expanded distribution to four states and received industry recognition for their innovative formulations. In 2022, they partnered with sustainable hemp cultivators across the country, enabling them to source high-quality ingredients while reducing their carbon footprint. Today, Tonic continues to pioneer advancements in cannabis science while maintaining their commitment to natural wellness.

Tonic currently operates in California, Colorado, Oregon, and Massachusetts, with products available in over 300 dispensaries. Their flagship offering remains their tincture line, featuring precise cannabinoid ratios in various formulations targeting specific effects: Focus, Relief, Sleep, and Balance.Beyond tinctures, Tonic has expanded into topicals and capsules, all utilizing their signature nano-emulsion technology for enhanced bioavailability. Each product undergoes rigorous third-party testing, with results accessible via QR codes on every package.Their extraction process uses organic cane alcohol and CO2 methods, preserving the full spectrum of beneficial compounds while eliminating unwanted elements.
