ABOUT 1906 

Hello. We are 1906, simply the most innovative company in the cannabis industry. We were founded to transform the world of cannabis by creating functional highs that help you do all the life stuff better. We launched in 2016, and since then, we’ve advanced from a start-up to Colorado’s fastest-growing edibles brand. Our company has been touted by media, industry watchers and consumers as one of the most exciting brands in the cannabis space. This is an incredible time of expansion for 1906 and we are rapidly growing beyond Colorado. We are currently seeking long-term, committed and enthusiastic team members to grow with us. 1906 offers a competitive salary, incentive bonuses based on performance, and competitive health and wellness benefits.

 

WHAT MAKES 1906 SPECIAL 

1906 is on a mission to bring cannabis back to its pre-prohibition status as a mainstream, widely-used medicine for the greater good – and the greater fun. The name comes from the year the Wiley Act (also known as the Pure Food and Drug Act) was passed, effectively starting

the era of prohibition of cannabis. 1906’s highly innovative, proprietary edibles precisely marry the benefits of low-dose cannabis and plant medicines to deliver distinct highs with functional benefits. We’ve created a new category of premium edibles in artisanal, incredibly delicious chocolate formulations. With beautifully designed packaging and an aspirational brand story, 1906 is elevating cannabis and making it approachable for high-functioning adults seeking to enhance their lifestyle. Our current formulations include GO for energy, LOVE for arousal, MIDNIGHT for sleep, CHILL for relaxation, GENIUS for cognitive focus and BLISS for euphoria. All 1906 products employ a rapid-delivery technology that eliminates the long wait typical of

traditional edibles, ensuring safe, predictable and enjoyable experiences every time.
