Through our partnership with The Valens Company and A1 Cannabis, our technology powered the first cannabis beverage to market in Canada!
“These products were developed using the SōRSE by Valens emulsion technology which transforms cannabis oil into water-soluble extracts while eliminating cannabis taste, colour, or smell. These beverages have a fast onset time, significantly reduce offset time, increased bioavailability of cannabinoids, and are stable enough to achieve more than a one-year shelf life.”

For people who believe in the power of the cannabis plant, 4/20 is a day of celebration. Some people attend rallies to promote national legalization, some celebrate at concerts, and others simply gather with friends to share their ‘stash’.While 4/20 looks a little different this year, for those who work in the industry, every day is 4/20 – including the employees at SōRSE. And it’s busier than ever.
Our team is comprised of people from all walks of life with different roles in the company – we are scientists, project managers, designers, product developers, regulatory experts, writers, and thought leaders. These are some reflections on 4/20 from members of our team #poweredbySōRSE.
What Does 4/20 Mean toYou?
“4/20 is not generally a special holiday in my book because CBD has become a regular part of my regimen, but it is a great time to reflect on how far the industry has come and where it’s headed. The more we understand about the plant, the more we realize that everyday can be 4/20. For me, 4/20 doesn’t symbolize a day to get high; it’s about living a higher quality life.” – Diana Eberlein, VP of Marketing
“Life–changing at many levels. My wife and I were just reflecting how marijuana social norms have shifted so much during our lifetime. The Sixties was the time of “Turn on, tune in and drop out;“the Seventies (my teen years) brought the war on drugs, literally vilifying all things marijuana. Fast forward to today, not only basically legal, marijuana is now considered a “vital” resource and medicine with dispensaries kept open and classified as “essential” services….Wow!What a long strange trip it has been! 4/20 is also Monte’s (our daughter’s dog) birthday; he is turning two this year.” – Scott Riefler, CSO
“4/20 is a time of celebration! To celebrate the legality of cannabis and to celebrate all the companies out there that are trying to make the word a better place though cannabinoid research.” – Michelle Sundquist, Director of Product Development
“4/20 is a time to think about the past, present, and future of cannabis – with the hope that people will continue to embrace and accept all that the plant has to offer.” – Dana Perkins, Corporate Communications Specialist
“The best excuse to use cannabis.” – Jalen Tims, Medical Applications Specialist
How Has CBD Positively Impacted Your Life or Someone That You Know?
“A good friend I grew up with struggles with an eating disorder and substance abuse. Recently, she was diagnosed with epilepsy. The treatment program she is on the waitlist for will not admit her into the program unless she is seizure-free for 30 days. Since using CBD, she has not had a Grand Mal seizure. She is now eligible to be admitted into the treatment program!” – Jalen Tims, Medical Applications Specialist
“One of my favorite stories is family friends who have autistic sons or daughters. CBD has helped with calming aggression and forming sentences with more structure and understanding. These parents have tried everything under the sun to help their children, and they are willing to try anything. CBD has been very helpful.”– EmilySkrobecki, Process Engineering Manager
“One of my best friends has a 15–year-old German Short-Haired Pointer, Ruby, who started having seizures last October – which was scary for everyone involved. There were some days where she was seizing multiple times. I suggested that my friend start giving Ruby CBD with her meals to see if it would help – and it did.Ruby’s last seizure was on 2/18 — she has been seizure-freefor two months!” – Dana Perkins, Corporate Communications Specialist

#WeCarrotBoutyou #StayCalmandWaffleOn
YIELD: 10 waffles
CBD: 20mg per waffle
Ingredients:
1 cup AP flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 grams SōRSE powder
1/2 cup organic sugar
2 T light brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg, whole
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 T. vanilla extract
2 cups carrots, grated fresh
1/2 cup dates, chopped
Icing:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened at room temp
4 oz. butter, unsalted, softened at room temp
6 oz. Grade B (if available) maple syrup
Preheat oven to 300F. Spread the cinnamon and one whole nutmeg on lined baking tray. Heat for 5 minutes max, just until spices are aromatic. Let cool. Set oven to 250F. Mix all dry ingredients including SōRSE powder, together very well until completely incorporated. Add cinnamon and using a microplane (fine zester for citrus), lightly shave nutmeg into bowl. Mix again, to blend the spices in thoroughly. Turn waffle iron to let heat.
Separately, by hand or in mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla in bowl. With mixer on low, increase to medium speed for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add freshly grated carrots and dates to wet mix. Slowly pour wet mixture into dry mixture, using a hand held whisk at first and then switching to a spatula. Do NOT overmix, just gently fold the mixture onto itself until no dry patches of flour appear.
Open waffle iron, spray with pan release spray evenly. Using a level portion scoop (4 oz. – depending on your waffle maker size), scoop into cavity and use small offset spatula to spread evenly. Close iron, wait until light turns green. When each waffle is done, put on lined sheetpan and tent with foil. To keep crispy and hot place in oven for 15 minutes or until ready to serve.
Whip cream cheese with mixer using paddle attachment until light and creamy, no visible bumps appear. Scrape down with spatula. Add butter. Whip another 3 minutes on medium speed. Scrape bowl (making sure to reach the very bottom). Put on speed 1, and slowly pour the syrup in until consistency is thick but saucy.
Plate up waffles, pour maple cream over top. Garnish suggestion: toasted pecans and powdered sugar.
