OAKLAND, Calif., March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAKR House, a house of brands focused on creating accessible, premium cannabis products, today announced the launch of its new brand Disco Jays, offering a range of diamond-infused and THCA diamond-encrusted pre-rolls. This week the brand will roll out across California beginning with five exclusive Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, and women-owned dispensaries in Los Angeles and the Bay Area: SAVA, Josephine and Billie's, Gorilla Rx, 7 Stars Holistic Healing Center, and Rose Mary Jane dispensary. Disco Jays will also be available at other licensed merchants this month, including MedMen, Coastal Dispensaries, and select retailers under The Parent Company. To commemorate the occasion, the brand will co-host a private 'Sunset Disco Lounge' party on March 18th in Los Angeles.
“Disco Jays is a true celebration of Black and LGBTQ+ culture, mirroring our mission to bring people together through culturally relevant, authentic products," said Amber Senter, Founder/CEO of MAKR House. “Consumers today look to support Black-owned brands in all aspects of their lives, including their cannabis consumption. I am thrilled that Disco Jays will be found on the shelves of major retailers and bespoke LGBTQ+ and Black-women-owned dispensaries alike as the cannabis industry continues to build a more inclusive supply chain.”
Disco Jays pre-rolls are rolled with diamond-infused, indoor-grown flower and coated with THCA diamonds, packing a potent punch with an uplifting effect. The launch, which includes single 1G pre-rolls and 5-pack 0.5G pre-rolls, is the latest for MAKR House. With the release of Disco Jays, a brand inspired by the role of disco in fostering safe spaces for the Black and LGBTQ+ communities, MAKR House meets the rising consumer demand for diverse, mission-driven products created by equally diverse individuals. Disco Jays’ launch is supported by the TPCO Social Equity Ventures Brand Success Program, which empowers social equity brands with the resources to scale their business, increase brand awareness, and expand their retail presence.
