Ripple

What Ripple does

Ripple (legal entity Lifestyle Foods, Inc.) is a Denver-based cannabis edibles company operating as a direct-to-consumer and dispensary brand across four core product lines: Ripple dissolvable powder, Ripz chewable tablets, Ripsticks oral powder packets, and Riplets swallowable pills, plus a separate Ript Gummies sub-brand and a federally compliant hemp-derived Delta-9 THC line. The company's central technology is a proprietary water-soluble THC formulation (U.S. Patent 12225913) enabling rapid absorption and precise dosing, validated by four peer-reviewed clinical pharmacokinetic studies published in MDPI journals between 2018 and 2022—the only THC edible brand with this evidence base. The product portfolio spans multiple cannabinoid ratios (THC-only, 1:1:1 THC/CBD/CBC and THC/CBG/CBD blends, 2:1 THC/CBN sleep formulations, and Max Relief non-psychoactive blends) and includes a craft Live Rosin sub-line co-developed with Boulder-based 14er cultivators using solventless low-temperature extraction.

The business model is a unit-priced CPG sale of THC and CBD edibles primarily through licensed Colorado dispensaries, with online ordering enabled via Goldfishdistro, the iHeartJane marketplace, and Caliper, and a separate hemp-derived D9 channel extending reach to states where hemp-derived THC is legal. Marketing is anchored in clinical research differentiation, Instagram content, and AlpineIQ-driven email. The company is privately held and founder-owned (CEO Justin Singer, COO Jeremy Goldstein), with 51–100 employees, and has not disclosed institutional funding, M&A activity, or revenue figures. The founding narrative is rooted in the co-founder's experience preparing safe, precisely-dosed cannabis for his 92-year-old grandmother, and the brand positions itself around dosing precision, fast onset, and clinical validation rather than traditional edible formats.

Core offering

Ripple manufactures fast-acting cannabis edibles using a proprietary water-soluble THC formulation that enables precise dosing and rapid absorption (entering the bloodstream within 10 minutes). The company sells dissolvable powders, chewable tablets, powder packets, and swallowable pills through licensed Colorado dispensaries, online channels, and a hemp-derived product line for federally compliant interstate sales.

Product overview

Ripple is a cannabis edibles company offering fast-acting, clinically-proven THC products through multiple delivery formats. The product portfolio consists of four core product lines: Ripple (water-soluble dissolvable powder for mixing into food/beverages), Ripz (candy-flavored chewable tablets), Ripsticks (flavored powder packets for direct oral use), and Riplets (swallowable pills). Each product line includes multiple formulations with varying THC ratios and complementary cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC, THCv). The company also offers hemp-derived D9 THC products for federally compliant sales outside licensed dispensaries, and Live Rosin variants produced via solventless extraction in collaboration with 14er cultivators. Ripple's key differentiator is its proprietary water-soluble THC technology, backed by peer-reviewed clinical research demonstrating faster onset than market-leading competitors.
