“We are very proud to be recognized by KIND Magazine,” says Beena Goldenberg, CEO, Organigram. “The Cannabis Company of the Year award is particularly special because it not only acknowledges Organigram as a top performing licensed producer, but also celebrates the high-quality of our talented employees from coast-to-coast. Likewise, the award is unique as it considers ‘purpose’, recognizing Organigram’s commitment to doing good in the communities we serve.”
In addition to the Cannabis Company of the Year award, the Company’s Edison Cannabis Co. brand’s Edison JOLTS, Canada’s first high-potency lozenge, received the Most Innovative Product of the Year. This award is voted on by budtenders and retail owners from across Canada.

Organigram was nominated in two other categories including Hash of the Year for the Company’s Tremblant Hash and CBD Brand of the Year for its wellness brand, Monjour.
“It felt great to select Organigram for our KIND Cannabis Company of the Year because they do everything with love — you just know it’s a company that cares for our community,” says Joshua Nagel, Founder & Chief Dream Officer at KIND. “They had an impressive year, both from a financial and market share growth perspective, and have also built beloved consumer brands including Edison, SHRED and Big Bag o’ Buds, but that’s just the half of it. They’re also great human beings to work with and we were impressed with their commitment to helping their local communities: Organigram is the kind of company that makes all of us at KIND happy to be working in weed.”
