STIIIZY Brings Premium Cannabis Products to Illinois

STIIIZY, a California-based cannabis operator, has announced its launch in Illinois, expanding its authentic cannabis lifestyle brand and retailer to nearly 90% of dispensaries servicing the state’s $1.5 billion adult-use cannabis market. This marks the company’s fifth state to sell its branded products in, with its first expansion in the Midwest occurring in Michigan in 2019. STIIIZY’s premium products include the “OG Pod,” “CDT Pod,” and “Liiil Disposable Pod” lines, each of which brings unique offerings to the Illinois market.

Establishing Roots in Illinois

“We planted our flag in the Midwest with our Michigan launch. Now that we’ve established our brand and team there, it made perfect sense to expand to Illinois,” said STIIIZY Managing Partner Ryan Jundt. With Illinois now having a matured market, STIIIZY’s focus on product consistency made it an ideal location for expansion. Additionally, Jundt notes a “true cannabis culture” in Illinois that remains underserved, making it an ideal market for the brand to make an impact.

Premium Products for Illinois Consumers

STIIIZY’s premium quality concentrates are derived from botanically and cannabis-derived terpenes, providing balanced aromas and tastes for consistent experiences. The “OG Pod” line offers botanically derived terpenes, extracted from a variety of natural flora, and available in full and half gram options of Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid. The “CDT Pod” line, on the other hand, offers cannabis-derived terpenes extracted directly from local, single-sourced cannabis plants. The “Liiil Disposable Pod” line provides the ultimate portable and disposable weed pen, packing a big punch in a small package with THC botanically derived terpenes.

Expanding Impact through Joint Efforts

STIIIZY’s commitment to uplifting communities through its “STIIIZY Joint Efforts” program is a well-established initiative in California and Michigan. As part of this initiative, the company volunteers time throughout the year to deliver healthy meals to those in need, support veterans, and partner with nonprofits that have a positive impact on communities disproportionately affected by cannabis prohibition.

Director of Social Impact at STIIIZY, DeRon Waller, says “Bringing people together and bridging communities is what the power of cannabis is all about. At STIIIZY, we’re committed to serving individuals and organizations that drive impactful change everywhere we operate. Throughout the year, our team volunteers time delivering healthy meals to those in need, supporting our veterans, and partnering with nonprofits that have a positive impact on communities disproportionately affected by cannabis prohibition. Helping people lead better lives is at the heart of our company culture and we’re excited to bring that value to Illinois.”
