Weed is a hot item in the Show-Me state. The Missouri cannabis market is poised to surpass $3 billion in sales less than two years after adding recreational cannabis to the mix. Missouri is home to some great cannabis brands serving up all the classics, from flower and pre-rolls to vapes and edibles. As we gear up for MJ Unpacked’s next stop, here are five Missouri cannabis brands to watch.
Proper Cannabis
Having won Greenway’s Best of the Industry Awards for best concentrate, best edible (for their brand Honeybee), best manufacturer, best cultivator, and brand of the year between 2022 and 2023, there’s no doubt that Proper Cannabis is a popular brand in Missouri.
They produce a variety of strains for use as flower, extracts, concentrates, and edibles. The company places an emphasis on curating a selection of world-class genetics selected by their team of savvy cultivators. Their hard work has paid off–Proper Cannabis is listed by BDSA as the fifth-best selling brand in Missouri.
Vivid
Another brand that’s taken home a win from Greenways’s Best-Of series is Vivid, which was named best of the industry in 2023. Beyond boasting a fun profile of core strains, Vivid also offers seasonal strains to keep things fresh and exciting.
Beyond their diverse catalog of flower, the family-owned company also produces full-spectrum edibles, cartridges, pre-rolls and concentrates.
Illicit
Illicit Gardens has mastered the art of branding–and it shows. One look at their awards list and it’s clear just how much work goes into their packaging and branding. But they’re not just winning awards for aesthetics. In 2023, Illicit Gardens took home Best Flower, Best Concentrate, and Best Vape in the The Pitch Magazine Best Of Awards. BDSA reported Illicit Gardens’ Q2 2024 sales at $18.5 million, making it the number three best-selling brand in the state.
Beyond producing great looking, high quality products, Illicit Gardens has another mission: to advocate for the release of those still incarcerated for cannabis convictions. The company has donated more than $100,000 since 2020 to various advocacy groups on a local and national level.
Timeless Vapes
In their more than a decade of operations, Timeless Vapes has proven to live up to the name with classic, beautiful vapes that can fit into any era. Headquartered in Arizona and also available in California, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, and Oklahoma, their products are a go-to for discerning cannabis users who want a subtle but effective experience.
Utilizing only “the good stuff,” Timeless Vapes are filled with solvent-free oil and free from additives, fillers, pesticides, and cutting agents. The result is a high-quality, flavorful vape with plenty of terpenes and cannabinoids for the best effects.
Grön
Grön edibles taste as good as they look–and they look dazzling. Specifically formulated with cannabinoid ratios for desired effects, including CBD, CBC, CBG, CBN, and THC, there’s a Grön for every purpose.
Founded in 2015, Grön is a women-led cannabis company that prides itself in handcrafted delights. Their products are beautiful, delicious, and spunky. From sugar coated pearls and chocolate bars to bite-sized candy-coated chocolates, it’s clear that innovation and excellence are the name of the game for this brand. Their edibles are available in Arizona, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York.
