TICAL, or Taking into Consideration All Lives, is the brand of legendary Wu-Tang Clan member, lyrical master and cannabis icon Method Man, and its exclusive infused pre-roll strain ‘Sweet Island Skunk’ is coming to Michigan starting May 17.
Method Man has referred to TICAL as a cannabis term since 1993, and it has since become a part of hip hop’s vernacular; TICAL also reflects an entire movement, lifestyle, and swagger emblematic of the man himself.
The TICAL team and Method Man are an inclusive brand that prioritize partnerships with female and minority-owned business enterprises. Their mission is to raise awareness of the historical racial and ethnic disparities in all aspects of the cannabis space from criminal justice to general business inequalities.
TICAL offers only the highest quality cannabis products to have the most significant impact and reach. For this reason, in Michigan, TICAL partnered with Glorious Cannabis Co. out of Rochester Hills.
Glorious, known for its ICEWATER™ bubble hash infused pre-rolls, has the motto of “Cut Buds. Not Corners,” which aligns well with TICAL’s high standards. Glorious is committed to providing the best customer experience possible while respecting the culture and community. Their state-of-the-art facility in Lake Orion uses all LED lighting for a lower carbon footprint, recycles all water used for cultivation and was awarded the Certificate of Merit by the Detroit Engineers Society for efficiency.
“Partnering with TICAL and Method Man is about so much more than just working with a celebrity”, said Pete Truby, Glorious Cannabis Co.’s Vice President of Marketing. “Method Man has been a true pioneer in the culture for over 20 years, and his passion for both top-tier quality and raising awareness about injustice is an inspiration. We’re excited about this partnership and are working hard to ensure our product lives up to the high standards of TICAL’s great brand.”
Continuing its mission to support minority-owned dispensaries, TICAL will launch in five black-owned dispensaries with its initial product, Sweet Island Skunk, an ice water bubble-hash infused pre-roll. The five dispensaries are: Remedy, House of Zen, House of Mary Jane, West Coast Meds and Viola.
“Out of 300 plus stores there are only six operating black-owned retailers throughout Michigan. This is the reason why we need to continue to push our message of social equity to make sure black entrepreneurs are given a fair opportunity to operate in a space that has been built on injustice,” said Nathaniel Vereen, Co-founder of TICAL.
In addition to the five black-owned dispensaries, TICAL will also be launching in all eight House of Dank locations. TICAL is excited by H.O.D.’s commitment to support their communities. For example, H.O.D is the largest donor to the social equity program of the Detroit Homegrown Fund.
