The Select Story
Select was founded in 2015 in Portland, Oregon by Cameron Forni after a bad experience with a low-quality vape cartridge left him coughing. His solution: design a better cartridge from scratch. The result was the first silica fiberglass-free vape cartridge with a ceramic core and organic cotton wick—now an industry standard.
The brand grew rapidly, becoming the best-selling cannabis oil brand on the West Coast. In 2019, Curaleaf Holdings acquired Select for nearly $1 billion, making it the largest cannabis acquisition in history at the time. Select is now available in 17+ states and positioned as Curaleaf's premium lifestyle brand.
Select's tagline is "Cannabis Elevated"—they position themselves as a premium lifestyle brand for consumers who want reliability and quality without having to think too hard about it.

THC wax refers to concentrates with a waxy texture, similar to sugar, badder, and crumble. They're made through post-processing techniques and typically test 70%–90% THC. Easy to handle and great for dabbing.
Inhaled concentrates take effect within seconds and last 1–3 hours. Oral consumption (like RSO) has a slower onset but can last 6–8 hours.
Store concentrates in airtight containers in a cool, dark place. This prevents degradation and preserves terpenes and potency.
Yes. Solid concentrates require dab rigs, nectar collectors, or e-nails for use. Hash oil works with vape pens and cartridges. Our budtenders can recommend the ideal setup for your chosen concentrate.
