Highly Enlightened: Christine Apple, Founder & CEO of Grön

[image: Highly Enlightened - Sam Brill Interview]

Christine Apple is the Founder and CEO of Grön, one of the most
recognizable edibles brands in the U.S. Before launching Grön from her
basement in Oregon, she spent years working with jurisdictions and
regulators—experience that gave her an early, practical understanding of
cannabis compliance as the industry took shape.

Under her leadership, Grön has expanded its footprint and product range,
introducing single-serve edibles with the “Mega” line and developing
formulations featuring minor cannabinoids. More recently, the company has
leaned into rosin-based edibles, aligning with a broader shift toward
plant-forward, connoisseur products.

In this episode of *Highly Enlightened*, host Jon Purow talks with
Christine about her path from architecture to cannabis entrepreneurship,
the philosophy guiding Grön’s growth, and how the company balances
innovation with regulation. Their discussion also covers shifting consumer
trends—from sleep-oriented products to high-dose edibles—and what it takes
to build a lasting brand in an industry that never slows down.
