Cannabis Cultivation Lead Technician

Grow what’s next with Greenleaf Gardens

Greenleaf Gardens is part of Canopy USA, LLC — the vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator formed following the December 2024 transition of Acreage Holdings to Canopy USA. Together with Wana, Jetty, and Acreage, we’re aligning flower (Superflux), vapes and concentrates (Jetty), edibles and beverages (Wana), and retail (The Botanist) to scale across state-legal markets, with a focus on the Midwest and Northeast. We’re building a nimbler organization designed for growth.
