“Being able to launch Toast in Massachusetts is a testimony to the strength of our team, our commitment to protecting the integrity of Toast’s premium products, and our partnership with a shared vision to bring expansion through quality product offerings,” shared Gary Santo, TILT CEO. “We set a plan in February to make Toast available across our footprint and I am thrilled to see the first wave of Toast products hit the market.”
Originating in Aspen, Colo., Toast is a multi-state cannabis brand. Toast has been rolling pre-rolls since 2017 and sets itself apart in the market by its commitment to innovation and superior quality. Toast uses thoughtfully selected genetics and high-quality flower to the craftsmanship and attention to detail in manufacturing to the beautiful packaging to create pre-rolls it calls a Slice. Massachusetts patients and consumers can select from the following options today with more to roll out in the future:
- Toast Slices contain 100% flower, expertly rolled in hemp paper and topped with a specially designed filter to smooth the smoke. Toast Slices are the perfect product for the “cannacurious” and available in 2 varieties:
- Toast Original which has a 2:1 CBD:THC blend and Toast Reserve which has a 1:1 CBD:THC blend. Both products are available in a 2 and 5 pack.
- Toast Classic features some of the most coveted and potent strains on the market, which are chosen for their terpene profile and euphoric effect. Toast Classic is available in 0.5g and 1g in Sativa, Indica and Hybrid varieties and is made with 100% flower.
- Toast Infused is produced with a proprietary manufacturing process and ensures a smooth and perfect burn every time. Each 1.2g pre-roll blends 100% flower which contains a range of major and minor cannabinoids, premium distillate and aromatic terpenes ideal for the “cannaseur.”
“Our launch in Massachusetts has been our most efficient to date - showcasing the strong execution capabilities of Team TILT. The early response to Toast products by consumers, patients and the industry has been very positive. We’re excited to work with TILT to make Toast a leading pre-roll brand in Massachusetts,” said Punit Seth, Toast Co-Founder and CEO.
The availability of Toast on the growing TILT roster of brands offers patients and consumers an experience that originated in Colorado. Massachusetts patients and consumers can find Toast products in-stores now or available online for pick-up or delivery at www.commonwealthaltcare.org and Toast products are offered throughout the state via the TILT wholesale channel. Additional Toast products are expected to be launched in Massachusetts this year with expansion into Ohio expected in the Fall.
