An Extract-First Approach

In cannabis, every finished product traces back to one defining step: extraction. For Buddies, that step isn’t just part of the process; it’s the foundation.

By overseeing extraction from start to finish, Buddies maintains control over terpene preservation, oil consistency, and full-spectrum integrity across its lineup. That process-first mindset shapes everything the brand produces, from vape cartridges to softgels and topicals. 

‍

Built Around the Plant

Extraction determines whether a product truly reflects the plant’s original character. When terpenes are preserved and cannabinoids remain balanced, the final experience tends to feel more complete and strain-specific.

Buddies focuses on protecting that natural profile through carefully controlled processes and cannabis-derived formulations. Rather than rebuilding flavor after the fact, the goal is to carry the plant’s expression forward.

The lineup includes:

• 100% Live Resin
• Cured Resin
• Cannabis oil paired with cannabis-derived terpenes

Each format highlights a slightly different side of the plant. Live resin captures vibrant terpene expression from fresh-frozen material. Cured resin leans into depth and richness developed during the drying process. Cannabis oil combined with cannabis-derived terpenes preserves familiar strain characteristics while maintaining formulation clarity.

For shoppers who pay attention to terpene presence and strain integrity, those distinctions aren’t minor details; they shape the overall experience.

A Thoughtful Method to Vape Formulation

When Buddies entered the vape category, the focus centered on clean, in-house formulations built around cannabis oil and cannabis-derived terpenes.

The result is a lineup created without distillates, fillers, additives, or CRC processing. The emphasis stays on transparency and simplicity. What’s on the label reflects what’s inside.

For consumers who want to understand what they’re inhaling, and how it’s formulated, that clarity builds confidence.

The experience itself leans toward strain-forward flavor and balanced vapor production. Smooth draws. Consistent output. Terpenes that actually taste like the cultivar listed.

It’s a category where small formulation choices make a big difference, and Buddies approaches it with restraint rather than excess.

Designed for Different Lifestyles

Buddies isn’t limited to one type of consumer or one type of session. The brand’s range of formats makes space for different preferences and routines:

• Concentrates for those who enjoy precision and potency
• Pre-rolls for convenience and shareable sessions
• Softgels for smoke-free structure
• Tinctures for controlled serving sizes
• Topicals for localized application

Some shoppers prefer smoking. Others want discretion. Some prioritize portability for on-the-go use, while others are looking for something that fits seamlessly into an evening routine.

Across every category, the extract-first philosophy stays consistent. The format may change, but the standards don’t.

Spotlight: Buddies Softgels

For those who want smoke-free cannabis that still feels thoughtful and well-crafted, Buddies Softgels offer a versatile option with a variety of formulas that suit different preferences and routines.

At the heart of the softgels lineup are Live Resin softgels, each designed to capture a full spectrum of strain-specific cannabinoids and natural terpenes in a discreet capsule form, perfect for situations where smoke isn’t ideal.

Beyond live resin, Buddies also offers Premium Cannabis Oil softgels with precise dosing and accessible milligram options, making them a simple choice for those who prefer structure and consistency in edibles.

The brand’s softgel range also includes thoughtful variations like Live Resin+ Sunrise, which blends strain-specific live resin with THCV for a unique daytime option, and Live Resin+ Sunset, tailored for a balanced, evening-friendly experience.

For consumers seeking targeted dosing without psychoactive effects, Buddies’ Ratio softgels (such as CBD-dominant formulas) are a great pick. 

Across all of these formats, consistency, discreetness, and thoughtful formulation remain the priority, whether someone is new to softgels or choosing them as a reliable staple in their rotation.

Spotlight: Fire & Ice Roll-On Lotion

Buddies’ Fire & Ice Roll-On Lotion brings a twist to plant-powered topicals by offering both cooling and warming sensations in one easy-to-use applicator. The formula is designed with convenience in mind: fast acting, non-greasy, and simple to apply exactly where it’s needed.

This award-winning topical combines soothing ingredients like menthol, camphor, eucalyptus, and cinnamon with a balanced cannabinoid profile to deliver a layered experience: a refreshing cooling effect that transitions into gentle warmth. That duo of sensations makes it feel more dynamic than a standard rub! It's like two types of comfort in one bottle.

Buddies offers several versions, depending on what shoppers are seeking:

• 1:1 CBD:THC Roll-On blends equal parts CBD and THC for a balanced feel that many appreciate for general muscle and joint care.
• 1000mg THC Roll-On provides a higher-potency option for those who want a strong topical experience without smoking or ingesting.
• Fire & Ice Max steps things up even further with an advanced blend that includes additional cannabinoids such as CBN and CBG.

Because this topical isn’t designed for psychoactive effects, it fits into everyday routines: post-workout cool-down, soothing after yard work, or unwinding at the end of a busy day. The roll-on format keeps application mess-free and portable, which means comfort can come with ease and without fuss.

‍

Transparency and Accessibility

Buddies was founded on the belief that high-quality extracts should be accessible. Clean formulations and clear labeling reinforce that commitment, while pricing remains approachable relative to the category.

The philosophy is straightforward:

Start with the plant.
Control the process.
Keep the formulation clean.

Let the quality speak for itself.

In a space that continues to evolve, consistency builds trust, and Buddies has built its identity around maintaining that consistency across formats.

Buddies products are available at Perfect Union locations and online, where shoppers can explore the brand’s extract-driven lineup and find the format that fits their preferences best.
