This strategic acquisition pushes Sunderstorm’s platform into one of the cannabis industry’s largest categories, driving sustainable, profitable growth

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12, 2026 — Sunderstorm, a California-based global leader in premium cannabis edibles and vapes and the company behind the well-known KANHA brand, today announced its acquisition of Lime, one of California’s most respected pre-roll brands. The deal advances Sunderstorm’s long-term growth strategy and reflects significant investments in enterprise systems and top-tier operating infrastructure—capabilities that uniquely position the company to scale brands efficiently and with discipline.

Strategic growth in motion: Lime joins Sunderstorm, expanding their brand portfolio into the pre-roll category.

Founded in 2019, Lime is carried in hundreds of licensed California dispensaries. Known for its craftsmanship, strong retail turnover, and affordable pricing, Lime has earned deep trust within California’s cannabis culture and consistent repeat purchases among everyday consumers.

This transaction marks Sunderstorm’s second strategic acquisition, following its 2023 purchase of vape brand Bounti. With Lime’s addition, Sunderstorm enters a third product category, strengthening its brand portfolio, broadening access to the total cannabis addressable market, and building on 2025’s organic growth, operational excellence, and strong margins.

Lime will continue operating as a distinct brand while leveraging Sunderstorm’s sophisticated manufacturing, scaled supply chain, rigorous quality systems, and data-driven operating discipline—positioning the brand for rapid expansion in California and national markets.

“With this acquisition, we’re reinforcing a strategy designed to win in 2026,” said Cameron Clarke, Co-Founder and CEO of Sunderstorm. “The next chapter of cannabis will be defined by execution, not hype. We’ve built the infrastructure to scale efficiently, and with Lime, the growth potential is significant. We will continue seeking out other value-adding opportunities.”
