BEARD BROS PHARMS
Since 2024, we have been proud to partner with Beard Bros Pharms, a brand that perfectly bridges the gap between deep-rooted legacy culture and the modern regulated market. Founded in 2013 by brothers Bill and Jeff Levers, Beard Bros has grown from its East Coast roots into a California-based powerhouse and “grassroots media magnate” known for its advocacy and no-nonsense industry reporting. Our collaboration focuses on bringing their award-winning Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) to patients and consumers who demand the “entourage effect” only a true full-spectrum oil can provide. To ensure a premium user experience, we package their high-potency RSO in the Dablicator™ Oil Applicator, which offers the most precise and mess-free way to dose; a simple “twist, click, and push” delivers a consistent, activated dose ready for direct consumption or easy infusion into food and drinks. Together, we are committed to delivering the highest quality wellness products while honoring the authentic cannabis culture that Bill and Jeff have championed for over a decade.
RED BUD ROOTS
In 2025, we expanded our portfolio by partnering with Redbud Roots, Michigan’s premier craft cannabis cultivator and the state’s #1 distillate vape brand. Established in 2017, Redbud Roots has built a reputation for its patient-first philosophy and a commitment to high-standard craft cultivation and production. Our collaboration focuses on bringing their popular Fruit Stand vapes to the Massachusetts market, offering consumers a vibrant alternative to traditional cannabis-derived flavors. These 1-gram cartridges combine high-potency distillate with all-natural botanical terpenes to deliver a consistently powerful experience with a delightfully bright fruit profile. By introducing these fan favorites to the Commonwealth, we are helping Redbud Roots deliver their signature blend of Michigan-born quality and mouthwatering flavor to a whole new audience.
CLASSICS
Our in-house brand, Classics, is a tribute to the legendary genetics that defined cannabis culture for generations. Built around the strains that built the game, this line focuses on delivering high-purity distillate paired with the timeless profiles of icons like Jack Herer, Acapulco Gold, White Widow, and Northern Lights. These are the tried-and-true favorites that customers know and love, reimagined for the modern era with reliable hardware that ensures a consistent experience from the first pull to the last. Each vape is wrapped in vibrant, retro-game inspired packaging that leans into the nostalgia of the era, offering a fun, dependable way to enjoy the foundational strains that sparked a movement.
ONSET
Onset defines a strategic new category in the cannabis market, bridging the gap between the pharmaceutical precision of a tincture and the social versatility of an edible. Positioned as the premier “Drinkture,” Onset addresses the primary consumer barrier of delayed onset by utilizing Elemental Jerry water-soluble emulsion technology. This ensures a predictable, fast-acting experience in under 15 minutes, offering partners a technically superior alternative to traditional edibles. Designed to align with modern wellness trends, the formula is clean-label—vegan, gluten-free, and free of artificial additives—with only 2 calories per 5mg dose. Onset provides a highly flexible SKU: the 100mg bottle allows for easy microdosing or high-potency scaling, while its ability to be consumed as a standalone shot or a craft beverage mixer allows it to capture multiple consumer segments simultaneously.
SWTCHCRFT
SWTCHCRFT brings a new level of engineering to the vape category, centering on hardware innovation and user agency. The brand’s signature all-in-one disposable utilizes a dual-chamber design that allows for three distinct experiences within a single device. By employing a simple mechanical switch, the user can navigate between a dedicated Sativa chamber, an Indica chamber, or a blended Hybrid combination. This approach redefines the standard for disposable hardware, moving beyond single-profile offerings to provide a more versatile and sophisticated session. SWTCHCRFT stands as a testament to the evolving technical landscape of cannabis, where functional design meets the demand for a more adaptable experience.
