About 1906:
We started 1906 because we believe cannabis is the greatest medicine on earth. Our goal is to make cannabis a trusted, normal part of daily wellness with products that are easy to understand and easy to fit into your life and offer the most healthful format of cannabis available. 1906 is named for the last time cannabis was widely accepted as a beneficial medicine. The Wiley Act was enacted the following year, beginning nearly a century of misguided cannabis prohibition with devastating consequences. We say it’s high time to make cannabis accessible and understandable for all—for the greater good (and the greater fun).

1906 stands apart in the cannabis industry with its mission to provide premium, functional cannabis products that address specific wellness needs, including sleep, focus, relaxation, energy, and intimacy.

The company has successfully positioned itself as a leader in the growing functional cannabis market, appealing to professionals, busy parents, athletes, and health enthusiasts. 1906 products are available across legalized states, both in dispensaries and through its direct-to-consumer platform, launched in 2023, expanding accessibility to adults across the U.S.
1906 has experienced strong growth since its inception, driven by increasing consumer demand for cannabis products that serve wellness goals beyond recreational use. The launch of its direct-to-consumer platform in 2023 is expected to accelerate revenue growth, as the company expands its national reach and taps into new markets. With cannabis consumption continuing to rise and legalization spreading across the country, 1906 is positioned for sustained financial success
