What Dabstract does
Dabstract, a subsidiary brand of UCG Inc. (incorporated in Nevada), is a craft cannabis concentrate company that produces proprietary Live Resin High Terpene Extract (HTE) products and vaporizers. The company was founded by brothers Derek and Dylan Thiel, who began cannabis extraction experimentation in 2014 and formally launched operations in Cle Elum, Washington in 2016 after Washington State legalized recreational cannabis. All extraction is performed in-house at a large-scale hydrocarbon (butane/propane) facility in Spokane, Washington, processing fresh-frozen cannabis harvested at peak ripeness to preserve native terpenes without artificial or botanical additives. The product portfolio spans Live Resin HTE vape cartridges, All-in-One disposables, multiple concentrate formats (Gems & Juice, Terp Sugar, Opal Sugar, Cake Icing, THCa Crystalline), Live Resin HTE Infused Pre-Rolls, and branded hardware (510 Thread Vape Battery, Universal Vape Battery, ceramic Hotknife Attachment) plus merchandise. Awards include Best BHO Concentrate at the 2024 Missouri Growers Cup and Cannabis Industry Awards for Best Live Resin Vape and Best Vape Pen.
Revenue is generated primarily through wholesale distribution of cannabis products to licensed dispensaries, with dispensary-set retail pricing. The company has no disclosed funding rounds and operates as a privately held subsidiary of UCG Inc. The go-to-market motion is hybrid: Dabstract sells wholesale through channel partnerships with vertically-integrated multi-state operators — most notably Trulieve (Maryland, announced 2026-03-23) and Standard Wellness (Missouri, announced 2026-02-05) — leveraging those partners' in-state cultivation, processing, and retail infrastructure to access new markets without owning those assets. Direct-to-consumer revenue comes from a smaller e-commerce channel selling branded apparel, accessories, and hardware. End customers are adult-use cannabis consumers (primary) and medical cannabis patients (secondary) in legal states, served through dispensaries in Washington, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Arizona, California, and Michigan. The company also supports dispensary staff through state-specific Budtender Portals across AZ, CA, IL, MD, MI, MO, and WA. Geographic focus is Midwest expansion between 2023 and 2025, with active entry into Maryland and Missouri in early 2026.
