Brand Highlight: ufeelu
Hey folks! Welcome back to another exciting blog post from your only locally owned cannabis dispensary where we talk about weed, life and the town we call home. It’s time again for another brand highlight where we dig into the brands that you love so you can learn more and shop smarter. This week we’re turning our attention to a brand that fits our store, the community of Northumberland and what we here at Circa 1818 love most about cannabis. So without further ado, let’s learn more about the ufeelu brand and what they bring to the table.
No THC? No Problem!
There’s a lot more to cannabis than just getting high. It can be a source of great relief and comfort to people who live with chronic pain or other conditions that can impede the quality of life they experience in their day to day. CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC; all of these cannabinoids carry some kind of therapeutic benefit without intoxication. Not that I’m putting down the wonders of THC, lord knows that delightful molecule has done me a lot of good in my time, but the true benefits of cannabis are in the myriad ways it can improve our quality of life without leaving us reliant on harmful habits and pharmaceuticals. I’m getting a bit ahead of myself here though. Before we get into their products, let’s find out more about how they got their start.
Origin Story
The story of ufeelu starts in B.C. with a guy named Sameer Padamsey. Sam was working as a mortgage broker when he and his best friend decided to take a chance and get into the cannabis industry with a focus on non intoxicating products. This journey to promote the benefits of CBD and other cannabinoids began with a personal experience that changed the way he viewed cannabis.
When he was younger, his mother was diagnosed with cancer and was given pharmaceutical options to help alleviate her pain. However these came with a plethora of side effects that made the war her body was fighting even harder on her. So, Sam being a loving son, he began looking for other options to help her with her pain and stumbled across CBD. After finally convincing her to come with him to procure some, they found that the options available were either packaged to appeal to traditional stoners or simply didn’t suit the needs of someone looking to alleviate pain without getting high. As a result, his mother decided not to pursue CBD for her pain even though it may have helped to provide relief.
Which is why Sam decided to dive deep into the non-intoxicating side of cannabis. ufeelu is helping to crush the stigmas surrounding cannabis so that people can get the relief that cannabinoids can provide in a clean, professional looking package and without the presence of even a trace amount of THC.
So, now that we know where ufeelu came from and what they’re all about, let’s talk about some of the awesome products they’ve brought to the Canadian cannabis market.
The Lineup
ufeelu’s entire lineup of products are designed to emphasise the “wellness” aspect of cannabis, focusing on providing relief for a slew of common issues from aches and pains to trouble sleeping. Their products come in several forms (as you can see from the graphic they provided me. Thanks folks!) with their lineup of oils being second to none for people looking for some cannabinoid therapy. There are a few things that separate their oil products from the rest of the pack.
First and foremost, they utilize a broad-spectrum CBD extract that contains literally zero THC as a baseline for their oil. Then they incorporate minor cannabinoids like CBG, CBN and CBC (all cannabis derived!). Then utilize a blend of customized terpenes for flavour and function.
As if that wasn’t enough to differentiate them from the rest of the oil producers out there, they also use sunflower oil as the carrier which is gentler on the stomach due to being made up of heart healthy fats that our stomachs are able to absorb more effectively. As an added bonus, the sunflower seed oil doesn’t leave a filmy or oily residue in your mouth, which is awesome because I for one hate the texture of MCT carrier oil.
The folks at ufeelu have also brought to market a line of tablets they call “Moments” which are formulated using nano-technology for quick absorption. This way you can get the benefits of their oils in easy to consume tablet form. Perfect for those who aren’t fond of oils or have a medical reason they can’t take them. Like their oils, their tablets are vegan friendly, gluten-free and sugar-free.
The last line of products I’m going to quickly mention actually come from ufeelu’s sister company, hifeelu. Through this company, Sam and crew are looking to fill the balanced THC gap. Most products either have a lot of THC or none at all, with very few rocking an amount that’s inside what I like to call the “Goldilocks Zone of THC”. These lower THC products are balanced with other cannabinoids in order to create a pleasant high that isn’t overwhelming. Presently they have two products on the market: A disposable vaporizer called the Dream Pen which as its name implies is ideal for winding down at the end of a long day and their Lite N’ Smooth Pre rolls: a pack of premium craft THC flower and sungrown craft CBD hemp, relaxing smoke perfect for taking the edge off of reality while still leaving you in it.
And that just about wraps up our brand highlight on ufeelu! In a veritable sea of producers and brands they stand out for their commitment to improving the day to day lives of cannabis consumers with their well made, tastefully packaged products. So, if you’re in the market to relieve some anxiety, pain, or just get a good nights sleep, swing by and check out the ufeelu and hifeelu brands of products and see what all the buzz is about!
