Cheech and Chong's Cannabis Company, in collaboration with Distro 10, Inc., is introducing a new dimension of cannabis experience in Michigan. This partnership heralds the launch of Cheech & Chong's Cannabis' Botanical line, featuring the innovative cryo-infused cannabis pre-rolls. These pre-rolls combine premium botanically derived terpenes with top-tier cannabis to provide an exceptional experience.

This venture by the iconic duo into Michigan is more than a product release; it represents a significant leap in cannabis innovation and quality. "We've always been about pushing boundaries and delivering something unique to our fans," says Cheech Marin, Founder of Cheech & Chong's Cannabis Co. "Our cryo-infused pre-rolls and Botanical line offer an unparalleled experience."

The Botanical line is distinctive for its ability to create specific experiences through botanically derived terpene profiles. The cryo-infusion process, a key feature of this line, uses high potency oil that is crystallized, resulting in a smoother smoke compared to traditional oil infusions. This technique not only enhances the smoking experience but also introduces a new method of cannabis enjoyment.

Joey Marin, Chief Product Officer at Cheech & Chong's Cannabis Co., highlights the precision and expertise involved in selecting the profiles for the Botanical line. "Each profile is handpicked and thoroughly tested for optimal enjoyment. We are dedicated to the highest quality, ensuring every product in the Botanical line delivers a superior experience," he explains.

Tommy Chong, Founder of Cheech & Chong's Cannabis Co., added with a smile, "We knew Michigan was the perfect place to launch our Botanical line. Michiganders appreciate good cannabis, and we wanted to offer them something truly special and unique."

Celia Nasser, Facility Manager at Distro 10, expressed pride in the partnership with Cheech & Chong, icons who have greatly influenced cannabis culture. "This collaboration aligns with our commitment to providing unparalleled quality and innovation at competitive prices. We believe Michigan consumers deserve the best, and that's our goal."

As the cannabis market continues to grow, collaborations like that of Cheech & Chong's Cannabis Co. and Distro 10 are at the forefront, ensuring that cannabis consumers have access to groundbreaking products that offer more than just a high—they offer a unique experience.

2Pac Tribute Collection by Death Row Records Cannabis Coming to Michigan

Published 2 months ago Products & Reviews

In a move to honor one of hip-hop's most iconic figures, Snoop Dogg's Death Row Records (DRR) Cannabis is set to launch a limited edition collection dedicated to the legendary rapper, 2Pac. This release signifies a major milestone for DRR Cannabis, which Snoop Dogg initiated in January 2023 following his acquisition of the historic label in 2022. Committed to reviving the glory of Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg's efforts encompass both music and cannabis culture, and this tribute to 2Pac encapsulates that vision.

2Pac's association with Death Row Records began in 1995, marking a transformative era for the label and hip-hop at large. Renowned not only for his musical prowess but also for his outspoken activism, 2Pac leveraged his platform to advocate for political and social change, particularly within Black America. His legacy endures through his art and advocacy, making him an enduring symbol of cultural and societal influence.

Choosing 2Pac for the inaugural artist collaboration of DRR Cannabis was a poignant decision for Snoop Dogg. Their relationship transcended professional ties, rooted in personal history and mutual respect. Snoop recalls a defining moment when 2Pac handed him his first blunt, a gesture that sparked a deep friendship. This memory was highlighted during Snoop's speech at 2Pac's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2017.

"That first blunt sparked a friendship that ran deep," Snoop reminisces. "We'll always have his music, but this is another way I can bring what was meaningful to 2Pac to his fans."

The limited edition collection offers consumers five distinct strains: a popular crowd favorite, Alien OG, and four phenotypes named Take 1, Take 2, Take 3, and Take 4, all derived from the same parent genetics. Fans are invited to participate in selecting the best phenotype through a QR code voting system. The winning "Take" will be featured in the exclusive and permanent 2Pac collection set for release this fall.

Adding to the exclusivity of the release, each jar of flower will come with one of four collectible photographs of 2Pac, depicting him in front of a graffiti-covered Death Row Records wall. Additionally, a matchbook, precisely recreated from the photo shoot, will be included, enhancing the nostalgic value for fans.

The initial release of this collection is scheduled for Friday, July 19th, available at select dispensaries in California. Later this year, Michigan residents will also have the opportunity to purchase this unique offering through DRR Cannabis' partnership with Pleasantrees.
