Building on the success of our established brands and deep understanding of consumer trends, Mission is well-positioned to become the preferred choice for both seasoned cannabis enthusiasts and those new to the experience."

In celebration of the launch, Mission Dispensaries will offer branded giveaways and host special events at select locations.

Mission's launch in Massachusetts presents an initial collection of strains: the sativas Lemon Fatman and Crazy Hazy; indicas like Booberry Cookies, Mandarin Zkittles, Scooby Snacks, and Washington Apple; plus, the hybrids Frozen Coke and Cheetah Piss. In Illinois, the introduction will include the hybrid Apples & Bananas, indicas Banana Puddintain, Duct Tape, and the Crazy Hazy sativa, also offered in Massachusetts.
