Our Story

We don't follow trends.
We lead with science.

It starts with a simple conviction, backed by hard science. LEVEL began with a chemist working in a lab at Stanford who believed cannabis could do more than make people feel something. It could help them feel better.

Participants surveyed across our real-world studies

After years studying small molecules and how they interact with the human body, Chris Emerson, PhD watched the cannabis industry reduce a complex plant into a single number. The conversation centered on potency, not purpose.

But sleep is not a number. Stress is not a number. Relief is not a number.

The human body is a system, and cannabinoids interact with that system in nuanced ways. LEVEL was built on the belief that formulation, not intensity, determines outcome.

Our Mission

We believe life is better when you sleep well, move freely, and feel more at ease.

At LEVEL, we believe in the profound potential of plant medicine. That’s why we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of science to bring you safer, smarter, highly effective products. Join us as we revolutionize how the world experiences cannabinoids.

Our Research

We don’t guess. We study.

A PhD-chemist founder with two U.S. patents, and a growing body of human research, because reliable effects come from evidence, not marketing.

Sleep

29-day clinical sleep study

157 participants tracked over 29 nights, measuring sleep quality and next-day clarity on a nightly formulation.

Plant science meets precision chemistry.

Under the direction of organic chemist Chris Emerson, PhD, every formulation follows a repeatable process that ensures consistent results and uncompromising purity.

01

Isolation & Standardization

Each cannabinoid is extracted to precise ratios for predictable, repeatable effects.

02

Controlled Formulation

No dyes, caffeine, or fillers, just science-driven blends in accurate tablet form.

03

Batch Testing & Verification

Every production run is third-party tested for potency and safety.

Tiny tablets. Big effects.

Every LEVEL tablet is engineered to deliver a measured, consistent dose with predictable onset, so the experience is the same from the first tablet to the last. No spikes, no guesswork.
