Our story

Wonder Wellness Co. emerged from Cresco Labs' vision to welcome cannabis newcomers into the fold with confidence and clarity. Launched in December 2020 as Cresco's eighth brand, Wonder was created to address the direct needs of the large segment of consumers who are accepting of cannabis but have yet to enter the category.The brand's journey began with extensive research into what prevented people from trying cannabis. According to Cresco Labs SVP of brand marketing Cory Rothschild, new consumers might feel "intimidated," or perhaps "worry that only an expert can enter a category filled with intimidating forms, potencies and packaging." This insight drove Wonder's development.Wonder debuted in Illinois with Wonder Minis, the first low-dose (3 mg THC or less), effects-driven hard sweets to arrive in the Illinois market. In April 2021, they expanded the portfolio with Wonder Gummies, featuring 5mg THC doses enhanced with botanicals. Each product launch represented significant innovation in manufacturing processes, including new dry blending, pressing, and infusion techniques designed specifically for consistent low-dose delivery.This methodical expansion reflects Wonder's commitment to meeting newcomers exactly where they are in their cannabis journey.

Mission

Why we love this brand

At Calm Effect, we're impressed by Wonder's genuine commitment to solving real barriers that keep people from accessing cannabis wellness benefits. While many brands claim to serve beginners, Wonder actually redesigned their entire approach from manufacturing to packaging to deliver on that promise.What sets Wonder apart is their scientific approach to approachability. The botanical enhancements aren't just marketing gimmicks—they're thoughtfully selected ingredients like Lemon Balm and Ginger that complement the cannabis experience. The consistent 3mg and 5mg dosing removes the guesswork that intimidates newcomers, while the clear effect labeling (Laugh, Sleep, Relax) makes selection intuitive.For deal-seekers, Wonder represents exceptional value through Cresco's manufacturing scale and distribution network. As part of the largest wholesale cannabis operation in the industry, Wonder products maintain premium quality while remaining accessible. The brand's steady expansion means more availability and competitive pricing—exactly what our community values most.Their focus on wellness-minded consumers aligns perfectly with the thoughtful, health-conscious approach our users appreciate.
