Last month, Berries for Baris took home the first place prize in the 5th annual Cannatank Contest sponsored by Weedmaps. Since then, they’ve been hard at work developing their brand.
Elijah Eddings and Tianna Smith have a lot in common. Besides both being bariatric patients, they share a love of cannabis, health, and inclusion. They were inspired by their bariatric journeys to create “Berries for Baris,” a curated monthly/quarterly subscription box to enhance the bariatric experience.
“The process has really been the two of us working together to build a dream,” Tianna wrote. “When launching our business, we said we wanted it to be easy but we knew it would require hard work. From there we have faced everything together with a positive mindset so we can continue to grow and learn.” With that in mind, the company plans to focus on vitamins, protein, and liquid, including their own brand of flower to meet patient’s daily needs.
On August 28th, 2021, thanks to an amazing idea packaged in a top notch pitch, Berries for Baris took home the highest honors in the 2021 NCF CannaTank Contest presented by Weedmaps. The win has helped the pair start shaping their long term business plan.
“Winning Cannatank at NCF really helped us to connect with amazing people, people who have been so open and willing to help us on this journey…”

“Winning Cannatank at NCF really helped us to connect with amazing people, people who have been so open and willing to help us on this journey,” Tianna said, “Not only has it helped with getting connected to an amazing community, but it also has assisted us in building our confidence in our business and pushing us to continue walking this cannabis path.”
Berries for Baris plans to focus first on bariatric patients, and then eventually provide products for anyone interested in working on gut health. “Our long term goals are to grow a business into helping bariatric patients as well as anyone generally dealing with gut health,” Tianna wrote, “We would love to expand our products and business in more then a few ways that will reach all types of customers but we wanted to make sure that we catered to our Baris first!”
