Our RootsSpyke’s story began in Davis, Ca, when Professor G, an accomplished UC professor and frequent cannabis user, decided to apply science to healthier consumption. With a daughter in the industry and a love for cannabis, it couldn’t have been a better time for him to spend quality time with his youngest and research a fascination.
After hours of trial and error, re-creation and celebration, Spyke was officially born!
With a market-ready product, Professor G reached out to his nephew and fellow cannabis enthusiast, Big Tuck. After years spent navigating the Bay Area market, Tuck finally got his opportunity to turn his hobby into full-time work.
The Science…hydrophilic, hydrophobic, hydrowhaaaa
- THC and CBD are oils, so they won’t dissolve in water and are globby
- The Spyke process makes tiny ‘bubbles’ of THC (imagine shaking oil in a bottle of water)
- Spyke adds emulsifiers to the bubbles that keep THC Oil in solution in little micro-particles
What does that mean for me?
- Becauses Spykes is microencapsulated it dissolves fast in liquids
- Gummies and chocolates require THC to be emulsified during digestion, before your body can use the THC
- But Spykes’s already emulsified so you feel it faster, which makes the effects predictable & controllable
- Because Spyke powder is a 10 calorie pack it’s a low-calorie alternative to edibles
