When recurring sinus infections back in 2016 forced TribeTokes co-founder Degelis Pilla to cut back on smoking and vaping cannabis, she began searching for an alternative consumption method that would work just as well as inhalation for long-term use. She explored the market but found nothing that checked all the boxes. She wanted something plant-based, vegan, free of artificial colors or additives, and with a precise dose that left no room for error.
“My whole life, I loved smoking. Chronic sinus infections, surgeries and losing my voice made me realize that there needed to be an alternative way of utilizing the product and making sure dosing is on point,” Pilla explains. When her hunt came up short, Pilla decided to team up with her friend Kymberly Byrnes in 2017 to create a range of products of their very own—they called it TribeTokes.
It’s a clean, luxury cannabis brand built on transparency, intention and enhancing the user experience. Tribetokes offers a variety of products, such as pre-rolls and vapes. Their flagship product, their gummies, are fully vegan, flavored with real fruit extract, and carefully formulated for specific effects. Whether you need support sleeping, increasing libido or getting a good buzz, each gummy delivers exactly that while providing a real fruit-like flavor, thanks to natural ingredients.
TribeTokes understands what customers need because the founders, Pilla and Byrnes, experienced the challenges themselves. Many people can’t consume artificial colors or additives, which means most edibles on the market don’t work for them. TribeTokes uses pectin instead of gelatin to achieve that gummy texture. And all of their products use only natural, high-quality ingredients paired with a high standard of processes to maintain product integrity. They also know that people want a more discreet way of consuming cannabis. As Pilla says, “Maybe you’re at your in-laws’ house and you need to microdose your way through dinner without pulling out a vape pen.”
Pilla and Byrnes have a community-first approach to customer service, doing everything in their power to show up for customers. “We specialize in answering questions about dosing, explaining how different cannabinoids work, and helping people find the right product for their specific needs,” Pilla explains. If their product line seems daunting, don’t be afraid to reach out for guidance. The team is more than happy to help you choose the product that suits you best.
While TribeTokes is praised for their range of products, including flower, pre-rolls, tinctures, vapes, topicals, and even remedies for your furry friends, we’re impressed by their five gummy offerings, which we take a deeper look into below.
