Degelis (“Dege,” pronounced “Dayj”) launched TribeTokes in 2017 after identifying a specific problem in the cannabis vaping market: most products were made with cutting agents and additives that had no place in a wellness brand. She built TribeTokes from zero into a multi-million dollar DTC brand with over 100,000 customers, a full cannabinoid product catalog, and a loyal wholesale retail network. Degelis is an active member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization and a regular voice in both the cannabis and women-in-business spaces.

What Is THCV? Complete Guide to the Energizing, Appetite-Suppressing Cannabinoid

THCV is the rare cannabinoid that does almost everything THC does, except backwards. Where THC triggers appetite (hello, munchies), THCV suppresses it.

Tinctures look like the simplest possible cannabis product: a dropper bottle with oil in it. What makes them genuinely interesting is the precision. No other format lets you adjust your dose in 0.25mL increments, switch between sublingual and swallowed, or stack two different cannabinoid tinctures on the same night based on exactly what you need.

CBD for Senior Dogs: Mobility, Comfort & Adjusting the Dose as They Age

The counterintuitive thing about CBD and senior dogs: older dogs often need less, not more, than younger ones. Slower metabolism means the compound stays in their system longer.

Cannabis Pain Creams Complete Guide: How They Work, Benefits & Best Products

Here’s the thing about cannabis pain creams that surprises most people: the Delta-8 THC in TribeTokes pain cream doesn’t get you high. Not even a little.

Sublingual vs Swallowing Tinctures: Which Method Works Better & Faster?

A lot of people who tried a tincture and “didn’t feel anything” swallowed it immediately. That’s technically using a tincture. Just the slower, less predictable version. Sublingual absorption and digestive absorption produce meaningfully different experiences from the same product. Neither is wrong.

CBD Benefits for Dogs & Cats: What the Early Research Actually Shows

There’s a real gap between what pet CBD companies claim and what the clinical research actually says. The honest version: three areas have meaningful veterinary evidence behind them: anxiety, joint pain, and epileptic seizures in dogs. Other areas (cardiovascular, neuroprotection, appetite) have early or theoretical support but not clinical trials. Knowing which is which helps
