Claybourne Co. is a Southern California cannabis company founded in 2017 by childhood friends Nick Ortega, Jonathan Griffith and Brent Barnes. Based in Perris near Riverside, it combines indoor cultivation, breeding and product manufacturing under the “Always On The Gas” identity. The first reported sale went to Bare Dispensary in Palm Springs in 2018, after the founders moved from planning and facility construction into California’s licensed adult-use market.
Origins and ownership
Ortega serves as chief executive, Griffith leads marketing and Barnes leads breeding and cultivation. The Claybourne name came from a childhood friend’s middle name, a word Ortega had once planned to give to his son. The founders avoided putting “cannabis” in the consumer name, allowing the identity to work across flower, manufactured products, apparel and other extensions without hiding what licensed packages contain.
Products
Claybourne divides flower into Gold Cuts, Classic Cuts and Small Buds. The tiers give shoppers a way to compare selection and format, while strain, harvest date, package age and terpene results vary by batch. The Power line combines flower with collected kief. Product tiers are merchandising categories, not guarantees that every jar will have the same potency or sensory character, so the package and local menu deserve equal attention.
Brand tier, cultivar name and stated potency provide only part of the buying picture. Harvest or production date, package date, ingredients, net weight, licensed manufacturer and laboratory identifier help distinguish one release from another. Concentrates and infused products can carry more THC per unit than uninfused flower. Consumers should follow the serving and warning language on the California package, store products securely and avoid driving while impaired.
Production
Flyers are indoor-flower pre-rolls. Gassers covers vapor products, and Eagle Extracts is the concentrate line processed from company-grown material. Formats and strain choices change as material moves through production. Shoppers should distinguish whole-flower products from infused flower, vapor hardware and concentrated extracts, because serving, storage and use instructions differ even when the same cultivar name appears across several formats.
The company describes dark hang-drying, minimal-touch hand trimming and handling intended to protect trichomes. Its facilities use LED lighting that it says reduces energy consumption by about 20 percent compared with the reference system it replaced. Every product is sent through third-party laboratories for required testing, and releases carry certificates of analysis covering potency and other reported results. A certificate applies to its identified batch.
Where it operates
Claybourne products are sold through licensed California dispensaries and delivery operators. Riverside’s local retail rules helped place the operation in Perris, while availability varies across the state. The company’s store-finding tools direct shoppers to licensed sellers rather than offering interstate shipment. A store menu can show a product before it sells out, so adults should confirm inventory, package date and final price with the retailer. General business questions can go to hello@claybourneco.com.
