Unveiling the Green Era: The Art of the Infusion

Northeast Minneapolis is defined by the maker—the artist who spends hours layering ink, and the extractor who spends hours layering flavor. When we set out to create the Green Era Gummies, we didn't just want an edible. We wanted to experience the visual psychedelic language of local legend Chuck U in a completely new medium.


Simply Crafted x Chuck U collab custom art

The Anchor of Central Ave

If you’ve visited our showroom at 726 Central Ave NE, you’ve seen the anchor of our store: the massive, custom Chuck U painting. It’s a literal landmark. His intricate, whimsical, and delightfully "weird" art—where detailed clockwork meets deep biological surrealism—is the DNA of our Northeast Minneapolis style.

The Green Era project was our chance to bridge that physical painting with a tangible product.


The Art in the Pouch

Look closely at the Green Era Gummies packaging (as seen on our site, image_10.png). This psychedelic, multi-limbed, multi-eyed creature is a "Robot Monk of the Universe." This is the signature, high-level technical craft that Chuck U is known for across the Twin Cities, from the North Loop murals to Lowertown St. Paul.

This isn’t just a logo slap. We worked with Chuck to ensure the Green Era packaging felt like a limited-edition collector’s item that you could hold in your hand.

The Experience: Layered Craft

We built the Green Era Gummies to honor that level of detail. While Chuck is layering intricate lines to build the Robot Monk, our infusion team is layering 10mg of full-spectrum, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC and custom botanical terpenes to build the perfect effect.

  • The Product: Each piece is a precisely dosed, fast-acting journey designed for a layered experience, matching the complexity of the art it’s wrapped in.

  • The Community: This is a celebration of what makes Northeast unique. It's about bringing the best local art into the same sandbox as the best local cannabis.


How to Find The Green Era

The Green Era Gummies are an exclusive collaboration. They are available for a limited time on our site and in-person at our NE Minneapolis location.

Come see the physical painting that inspired it all, grab a pouch of this limited-run collab, and experience a truly unique piece of Minneapolis cannabis and art culture.
