The iconic comedy duo and cannabis pioneers Cheech & Chong are expanding their cannabis brand into Ohio through an exclusive partnership with Riviera Creek, a leading cultivator in the state.

“This partnership is about merging legacy with innovation,” said Brian Kessler, Chairman of the Board of Riviera Creek. “Riviera Creek’s commitment to clean, consistent cultivation aligns perfectly with the spirit and authenticity of the Cheech & Chong brand. Together, we’re delivering products that celebrate cannabis culture while meeting today’s highest standards.”

Riviera Creek will be the exclusive grower and distributor of Cheech & Chong-branded cannabis products in Ohio. The product line will launch with Cheech & Chong-branded flower, grown aeroponically at Riviera Creek’s facility in Youngstown. This method ensures the cleanest, most consistent flower, free from soil, pesticides, or harmful chemicals. Additional product formats are expected to roll out in the coming months.

“Cannabis is supposed to be fun, man,” said Tommy Chong, co-founder of Cheech and Chong’s Cannabis Company. “With Riviera Creek, we know people in Ohio are getting the good stuff – clean, safe, and ready to enjoy.”

Cheech Marin, co-founder of Cheech and Chong’s Cannabis Company, added, “For us, it’s always been about quality and connection. This launch is another opportunity to bring people together through the plant.”

Cheech & Chong products will be available at licensed dispensaries across Ohio starting this month. Customers are encouraged to inquire about availability at their local dispensaries.
