The Sugar-Free Offering from Cannabis’ Favorite Mother-Son Duo Was Inspired In Part by The Sopranos

Lehua House of Brands is deepening its commitment to functional cannabis wellness with new additions to Live Oro. Designed specifically for insomniacs, anxious sleepers, and anyone seeking an alternative to pharmaceutical sleep aids or an addition to their bedtime routine, the new 10mg Live Oro shot combines gentle, functional ingredients like CBN, valerian root, magnesium, black cherry, and pomegranate, offering effective, natural sleep support without the hangover.

“People always ask where I got the idea to add valerian root. The truth is, I was rewatching The Sopranos,” said CEO Sierra Elaina, who considers the Live Oro line her personal passion project. “There’s this scene where Juliana tells Christopher to skip the NyQuil and try valerian tea instead. I immediately saw the potential. It’s calming, natural, and just the kind of plant-powered solution that speaks to what Live Oro is all about.”

Live Oro is intended as an accessible entry point for cannabis consumers who need a lower minimum effective dose and who aren’t after an intoxicating high as much as a good night’s sleep. The 10mg shots are sugar-free, non-carbonated, and crafted to help users fall asleep fast and wake up refreshed, not groggy or ‘greened out.’

The release is part of a broader rollout driven by Lehua’s Director of Marketing and Expansion, Yorgi Spanos, who also developed the sugar-free Reefresh Melon Shot, a separate 100mg SKU for more experienced, higher-tolerance consumers. “The Melon Shot was created to be the strongest sleep product on the market with 100mg THC, 100mg CBN, and magnesium,” Spanos said. “It offers a different kind of sleep solution than the gentle and balanced Live Oro.”

The Live Oro launch reflects Lehua’s commitment to meeting consumers wherever they are in their cannabis journey. With a growing portfolio of house brands including Olala, Voila!, Live Oro, Smoking Seccion, and the gold medal-winning Reefresh, Lehua’s portfolio spans sparkling water, a sugar-free line of shots and craft batch sodas, as well as sleep aids, and will soon include infused culinary essentials.

On the horizon for the mother-son product development duo is Oui’d Chef, a gourmet-infused brand launching with savory olive and truffle oils, perfect for drizzling on everything from popcorn and pasta to steaks, snacks, and desserts. The first offerings will include both sample-size and full 8-oz bottles, with a third SKU to be announced soon.

With zero debt, in-house manufacturing, and an innovation-first mindset, Lehua’s woman-owned brand family continues to raise the bar for cannabis beverages and beyond.
