Periodic Edibles Helps You Choose Your Journey
When Periodic edibles Founder/Owner Wayne Schwind earned his chemical engineering degree & moved to Portland, OR to work in water treatment, he never imagined that he would one day apply his scientific knowledge to formulating effects-focused cannabis edibles. Wayne (a longtime cannabis enthusiast himself) always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and he immediately saw a need for more consistency & reliability from edibles on the emerging Oregon cannabis market - especially for medical marijuana patients who depend on consistent effects to manage their health.
Armed with the developing science of cannabinoids & terpenes and a craft caramel candy recipe, Wayne set out to create a full spectrum edible that Oregonians could count on for repeatable cannabis effects. Periodic edibles Cannabis Caramel Company was born from this drive, and the [Pe] team’s commitments remain the same to this day - consistent cannabis effects, craft caramel edibles, transparent business practices, and quality community education to end the stigma of using cannabis for health, wellness & recreation.
The [Pe] Philosophy
Why cannabis caramels, you may wonder? Not only was the original caramel recipe Wayne used much-beloved by friends & family for its rich taste and creamy texture, it afforded the opportunity to infuse the edibles with canna-butter to provide full-spectrum benefits in a simple, clean formulation that distillate infusion methods could not have matched. [Pe] caramel recipes always use minimal ingredients, sourced locally for their exceptional quality.
Periodic focuses their attention on crafting effects-focused edibles by slow-roasting whole plant, single strain cannabis (sourced from single harvests at select Oregon farms) in butter and coconut oil in-house to capture the full matrix of active cannabis compounds - watch this quick video to see the process in action!
This infusion method provides Entourage Effect benefits from both their dairy-rich & plant-based vegan caramel varieties. When it came time to choose a strain for a 2:1 CBD variety, East Fork Cultivars’ incredible mixed ratio flower was the natural choice - the Periodic edibles Recover CBD caramel proudly features canna-butter infused with East Fork’s Pineapple Jaeger buds.
To further enhance the predictability of their strain-specific edibles, [Pe] re-introduces 2 specially selected terpenes common to cannabis to help steer the nuance of the final experience - such as calming Myrcene & Linalool for the Relax caramel and uplifting Pinene & Limonene in the Active caramel. This adds an additional layer of consistency to the edible recipe to give consumers the same effects on each consumption.
Transparency is at the heart of the Periodic edibles business model, because consumers have a right to know what’s in their cannabis products, and how they were produced every step of the way. On the [Pe] website & social media channels, you’ll find behind-the-scenes videos of their canna-butter infusion & caramel cooking processes, lab testing results on all products for sale in Oregon, and answers to your questions about the business & cannabis in general in their FAQ video series.
[Pe] is dedicated to providing valuable, high-quality education to the cannabis community, including curious customers & workers on the frontline of the industry. Periodic frequently co-sponsors interactive cannabis education sessions for dispensary customers & budtender teams around Oregon, and the Budtender Wisdom video series follows Wayne through Oregon dispensaries to answer questions in conversations with budtenders working in your favorite stores.
Wayne and his team also produce the Periodic effects Cannabis Business & Science podcast, releasing several episodes per week to provide behind-the-scenes insights on the industry. Episodes feature real canna-biz founders & CEOs and deep dives on the science of cannabis medicine with researchers & scientists. The Cannabis Science 101 episode series with cannabis educator & consultant Emma Chasen provides a complete primer on key terms and active compounds responsible for cannabis experiences that users of all experience levels will find valuable. East Fork Cultivars’ Director of Education & CBD Certified instructor Anna Symonds was interviewed on the podcast about the importance of cannabis access for athletes and community education around CBD. Periodic effects was even included in the Forbes List of Top Cannabis Podcasts of 2019!
Periodic edibles is only able to continue producing craft-quality caramels with highly consistent test results & valuable educational resources through the tireless dedication of their tight-knit team. Wayne is deeply grateful for the risks his employees take working in the Wild West of the cannabis industry & the hard work they put forth in spite of the unknown, so he always goes above and beyond to support the personal and professional goals of each individual team member, both on and off the clock. Wayne knows quality end products start with satisfied, fulfilled workers, and he maintains a work environment that fosters those values at every stage.
Effects-Focused Edibles - Meet the [Pe] Caramel Line
The Periodic edibles cannabis caramel line has recently expanded from original 50mg THC and mixed-ratio single caramels to include a Low Dose 10mg THC caramel for new edible consumers or THC micro-dosers, and Multi-packs of 5 Low Dose caramels designed for social sharing & easy dosing on-the-go.
All [Pe] caramel edible types come in a range of effects designed to give the consumer control over the final experience they get. This gives both medical patients & recreational consumers the power to choose their cannabis journey.
The Relax caramel with Linalool & Myrcene is crafted for calming, soothing effects perfect for night time needs. The Active cannabis caramel with Pinene & Limonene provides focusing & energizing effects that outdoor-loving Oregonians will enjoy for powering their adventures. The Balance caramel formula uses Limonene & Terpinolene terpenes to produce even-handed effects that work well day or night for flexible use. The Recover 2:1 CBD caramel variety utilizes medicinal anti-inflammatory & calming terpenes B-Caryophyllene and Terpineol to help support recovery after physical & mental exhaustion.
Periodic edibles hasn’t forgotten its roots in the OMMP days either - their 100mg THC Medical grade caramel with B-Caryophyllene & Pinene packs a medicinal dose of THC & full-spectrum compounds into an easily dosed, delicious caramel. As they’ve expanded, [Pe] has made sure to keep their medical edible consistently produced and in-stock for MMJ patients who rely on its predictably soothing effects.
