why we started good times™
a better edible, a cleaner vape, and a more honest approach to cannabis—grounded in science, not hype.
we didn’t set out just to create another cannabis brand…
we set out to solve a problem we knew firsthand.
inconsistent edibles. vapes with mystery hardware. packaging that felt wasteful. and underneath it all, a lack of trust. ~ not just in NJ, but nation-wide.
we asked ourselves, what would it take to build it the right way?
what if cannabis was approached the way we thought it should be—grounded in real science, made with thoughtful ingredients, and designed with care for the person and the planet?
that’s how good times™ began.
inconsistency makes cannabis harder to trust
edibles are unpredictable. vapes are hit, burn, or miss…and even for seasoned users, the experience can feel like a gamble.
we’ve all heard (or lived) the story:
“i took one edible, waited, took another… and then got way too high.”
“i hit a new vape and couldn’t tell if it was the oil or the coil.”
“i tried they’re new product…same dosage I’m used to but totally different effect.”
these experiences aren’t just frustrating—they’re barriers. for curious newcomers and wellness-driven users alike, inconsistency makes cannabis harder to trust.
we wanted to build something better. something that felt grounded, safe, and clear.
our approach: thoughtful over trendy
we didn’t chase flashy trends or cheap & easy ingredients. we started from first-principles thinking and asked:
what does ‘good’ look like, from the inside out?
use science that holds up under scrutiny
choose ingredients that serve a purpose
respect the user—and their environment
that’s why our edibles use a first-of-its kind, protein-based fast-acting technology — backed by seriously impressive research on terpene & cannabinoid bioavailability.
it’s why our vapes are built with a quartz core and co-molded stainless steel coil, offering consistent vapor, clean flavor, and precision heat ramping that actually activates terpenes—not burns them off. — no mystery metal. no shortcuts. just clean, functional hardware.
the values that that guide us
at the core of good times™ are three simple promises:
good science: we lean on peer-reviewed research and partner with manufacturers and labs who take their work as seriously as we do.
good ingredients: every input we use—whether in our gummies, our oils, or our hardware—is chosen for safety, efficacy, and transparency. you’ll never have to guess what’s inside.
good people: budtenders are the unsung heroes of this industry. many on our team come from that world. we build for them—and with them—so that education, not hype, leads the conversation.
it’s not just what’s inside
cannabis is a plant. it shouldn’t come in packaging that outlasts the product by centuries.
we use 100% recycled paperboard for our custom boxes that themselves are 100% consumer-side recyclable —no plastic trays, no foam inserts. just clean design that’s functional and sustainable.
because we believe that how we show up in the world matters just as much as what we put into it.
why it all matters
for us, it’s about helping people find the good.
one conversation particularly sticks with us. — not too long ago, a friend who deals with intense menstrual pain shared that she’s been looking for something gentle to help her unwind at night—something to take the edge off without turning to painkillers or a glass of wine.
she tried edibles, but the effects were so unpredictable and for several reasons, she gave up on cannabis altogether.
“i used to smoke in college, but i don’t know—weed now is just… insane,” she said.
“i want something that gives me that feel-good feeling, you know?”
“i just want something i can trust.”
that’s our goal. not hype. not buzzwords. just something you can trust, enjoy, and feel good about—whether it’s to find balance, relief, or just simply to add a little more ease into your day.
