What Is Etain Health?

Etain is New York’s only women- and family-owned cannabis entity, run by CEO Amy Peckham and her daughters Hillary, the Chief Operations Officer, and Keeley, the Chief Horticultural Officer. Hillary says the work is “a labor of love,” a project that began when the whole family started researching medical cannabis as a treatment for her grandmother’s ALS (a degenerative neurological disease). The Peckhams’ longevity in the cannabis industry is as legendary as their brand’s sterling reputation; they were awarded one of the first five licenses New York issued for medical cannabis businesses and launched in 2015, shortly after the Compassionate Care Act passed to allow registered patients access to cannabinoid oils.

Today, Etain remains a cannabis leader as New York gears up for its adult-use market. The company is in the process of expanding its upstate cultivation operations, and will be opening a cultivation facility and dispensary in New Jersey, being one of the first fourteen businesses approved for a license in the Garden State in late 2021. In March 2022, the Toronto-based investment firm RIV Capital, funded by The Hawthorne Collective (a subsidiary of lawn and garden giant Scotts Miracle-Gro), signed an agreement to buy Etain for $247 million. It was the largest transaction involving a women-owned cannabis business in the history of the cannabis industry.

Etain Health Supports Women-Owned Brands

Not only does Etain feature an enviable range of its own wellness products - including flower, vapes, tinctures, lozenges and its signature water-soluble powder - but the company is also committed to ensuring everything on store shelves supports women-owned brands. Some of the brands spotlighted in Etain include Potli, Ananda Farms, NSNT Spray, Sackville & Co., Barbari, TribeTokes, Gron, NFZD Beauty, Piecework Puzzles and more. Etain is the exclusive New York distributor of the Buy Weed From Women apparel brand, created by Newark-based poet Jasmine Mans.
