Cannabis Brand Profile: Kiva Cannabis Edibles

California’s initial move to legalize medical cannabis over 20 years ago signaled a major cultural shift. The Golden State’s then bold new law ultimately revolutionized the legal and legislative perspective on cannabis, a substance once considered a highly taboo “illegal drug.”

And in the two-plus decades since, over half the states in the US have legalized either (or both) medical and recreational cannabis.

The growing legalization movement has in turn created a huge economic opportunity, in the form of the now thriving cannabis trade. A rising industry that has produced several extremely successful, highly reputable brands.

And one of those top-flight brands is…

Kiva Cannabis Edibles

Kiva Brand History

Scott + Kristi Palmer founded Kiva in 2010 when inspiration stuck after a visit to an upscale chocolatier in their neighborhood. The couple couldn’t help but wonder… Why not produce cannabis products as elegant, luxury branded confections? Seeing a gap in the market, the duo dove in and created Kiva cannabis edibles!

This insightful approach proved a VERY savvy move. By avoiding cannabis flower-based products and cannabis oil-fueled vapes, Kiva was able to avoid much of the sigma typically associated with cannabis consumption.

And as a result, Kiva positioned itself as a high-end retailer above the fray of most characteristically unvarnished cannabis brands. Also, Kiva’s careful attention to detail in crafting their premium products has earned them a reputation as the standard-setters in the steadily expanding cannabis trade.

In the decade following Kiva’s launch, the company has grown to employ over 200 workers, in addition to stocking their products in approximately 530 stores across six states, including California (their home base), Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, Illinois, and Michigan.
