As the cannabis industry continues to grow, competition to innovate and stand out from the pack has never been more crucial for survival. Cannabis companies that flex cutting-edge ideas, products and services are finding themselves as leaders within the industry, while simultaneously growing amazing cannabis and changing the public perception of the plant. One such company is Oakland-based NUG, Inc., a premier, state-licensed company on a mission to normalize the cannabis experience while playing a key role in supporting communities most impacted by prohibition.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not hard to see why the company\u00a0is considered one of the fastest-growing cannabis brands in California. Founded in 2014, NUG<\/a> are pioneers and innovators in the space.

World-class facilities in Oakland house the company\u2019s trailblazing R&D, while industry-leading technology combined with state-of-the-art cultivation, extraction and distillation facilities has allowed the company to consistently scale up production and stock their retail destinations via their distribution arm.<\/p>\n A proprietary track and trace system follows the life of a plant from clone to product. This seed to sale view allows NUG to better meet their consumer\u2019s needs and provide more detailed information on their extensive product line. The line features award-winning flower including\u00a0Premium Jack<\/a>, which took home the coveted\u00a0\u201cBest Flower\u201d\u00a0award at the 2012\u00a0High Times Cup, concentrates, vape carts, pre-rolls and edibles. Their recently released freezer pops demonstrate the brand\u2019s continued advancement of innovative cannabis consumables.<\/p>\n NUG has two retail destinations;\u00a0NUG Sacramento<\/a>\u00a0that stocks the brand\u2019s portfolio of award-winning products including concentrates, edibles, flowers and pre-rolls and\u00a0NUG Wellness San Leandro<\/a>, which features a sectioned-off, dedicated Wellness Center offering CBD products from top brands including Papa & Barkley<\/a>, as well as, topicals, tinctures and pet products.<\/p>\n \u201cCombining NUG\u2019s commitment to create premier cannabis retail stores with our company mission of normalizing the cannabis experience, the new NUG dispensaries serve as a showcase for \u2018best of the best cannabis\u2019 grown and products manufactured in California,\u201d said Dr. John Oram, founder and CEO.<\/p>\n \u201cEqually important, the dispensary functions as an oasis for adult patients and consumers alike to feel comfortable, safe and knowledgeable before making a purchase,\u201d he continues. \u201cWe are thrilled to make our mark in Sacramento, which will set the stage for four additional retail stores scheduled to open in California.\u201d<\/p>\n NUG\u2019s third retail store is planned to open in 2020 in collaboration with equity partners in downtown Oakland.<\/p>\n Being based in Oakland gives NUG a unique position to empower members of the cannabis community and help motivate and embrace cannabis normalization, helping to showcase the positive effects cannabis can have on local communities.
