About Edge Off NYC

Edge Off NYC started with its founder, Lev Kelman. Diagnosed with multiple conditions and prescribed SSRIs, he researched the side effects of the pills and decided to use cannabis instead on a daily basis. He found that smoking cannabis over a brief period improved his mood and outlook: he started to feel better, went to the gym, and took up tennis again.

With increased exercise and endurance, he realized that consuming cannabis as an edible was a better delivery method than smoking it. A professionally trained chef, Lev developed an extraction method that uses no butane (BHO), no CO2 oil, and no ethanol oil. He was cooking cannabis and achieved homogeneity, and with it the ability to dose cannabis on a consistent basis. Then he built a plant-based, vegan chocolate brand around it: EdgeOff.NYC.

Lev made a 15 milligram infused chocolate and decided it was GOLD. Gold was perfect for him. When friends asked for something stronger, he created green at 30 milligrams, blue at 50, and black at 100. And when his wife Lori asked for something less strong, the red 5 milligram low-dose edible was born. The result is dose-dependent chocolate with corresponding color packaging that makes dosing consistent and stress-free.

Lev and Lori, cofounders, are vegans and would never consider including animal products such as dairy or gelatins in their chocolates and gummies. Lev is allergic to gluten and soy, so every product is made without soy or gluten and is also nut-free. Where some brands use soy lecithin, Edge Off uses sunflower lecithin. The chocolate and the THC are organic, and everything is made from scratch and by hand.
