Cheech & Chong Are Sparking Up Massachusetts With Two Exciting New Partnerships

Their New Cannabis Dispensaries & Non-Alcoholic Hemp THC Seltzers are infusing fun for cannabis consumers throughout the Bay State while promoting safe, responsible access.

BOSTON (Newswire.com) – Iconic duo Cheech & ChongTM are headed to Massachusetts for two groundbreaking partnerships that will leave Massachusetts buzzing. The team, widely known for their contribution to cannabis through pop-culture classics like UP IN SMOKE, are on a mission to bring the joy and fun back to cannabis while ensuring safe, responsible access.

Cheech & Chong Join Forces with Toroverde for the debut of Cheech & Chong’s DispensoriasTM 

Cheech & Chong have always been about more than just cannabis; they’re about celebrating the vibrant culture and sense of community that surrounds it. That’s why they’ve partnered with dispensary operator Toroverde to launch Cheech & Chong’s Dispensorias, a line of cannabis dispensaries in Massachusetts.

Cheech & Chong’s Dispensorias are not just places to purchase cannabis; they’re a destination for laughter, connection, and unforgettable experiences. Cheech Marin, one half of the legendary duo, put it best, saying, “Legalization is great, but the industry lost some of the fun along the way. We wanted to bring back the fun and excitement and laughter with the Dispensorias. We wanted to do it different than anyone else, almost like another ‘cannabis revolution.’ And we figured, what better place to start a revolution than Massachusetts?”

With three Dispensorias opening in November, including locations in Whately, Greenfield, and Northampton, residents across Massachusetts will now have a place to purchase premium cannabis at affordable prices, while enjoying the unique world of Cheech & Chong.

Jonathan Gonzalez, Market Manager, Toroverde, said, “We’ve taken all the best parts of a dispensary: safe, legal access to premium cannabis, expert budtenders, and top-notch customer service, and tossed all the boring, corporate parts. When you apply that ‘Cheech & Chong’ feel to a dispensary, all of a sudden, everyone is just having a lot more fun.”

Jonathan Black, CEO of Cheech and Chong’s Global Holding Company, stated, “We’ve worked hard to ensure that our Dispensorias are designed to break down barriers, foster a sense of community, and give every cannabis consumer, regardless of experience level, access to a safe, responsible, and reputable cannabis experience, boosted by the connection of two legends in the space.”

Cheech & Chong’s High and Dry Hemp-Derived THC Seltzers Now Available in Stores Across Boston 

Cheech & Chong’s takeover in Massachusetts doesn’t stop at Dispensorias. In partnership with Atlantic Beverage Distributors, the duo is bringing their High & DryTM Hemp THC seltzers to liquor stores throughout the greater Boston area. 

Tommy Chong explains, “We’re all about makin’ it simple for folks to get what they need, whether you’re in a dispensary or in the liquor store. It’s all about takin’ care of the community.”

These seltzers are the newest way for Cheech & Chong to achieve their mission of providing responsible access to the plant for all adults. With zero alcohol, zero calories, and 5 MGs of hemp-derived THC, they’re perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a “buzz” without the hangover.

Brandon Harshbarger, President, Cheech and Chong’s Global Holding Company, revealed, “This initial roll-out in Boston has been incredible. And that all comes down to the team at Atlantic Beverage. They are the ‘Kings of Craft Beer in Boston’ for a reason. Looking at their history in the adult beverage space, there was no better partner. We’re proud to have them on board the Cheech & Chong team.” 

To celebrate, Cheech & Chong are bringing the party to the Bay State. They’ll be toasting to the new beverages at the Liquor Junction in Reading, Massachusetts, on Nov. 10. 

Join the beverage revolution and meet the iconic duo at 1 General Way, Reading, MA 01867, from 5-7 p.m. It’s the “Boston T-HC party” you won’t want to miss!

But that’s not all! Cheech & Chong will also be throwing a Dispensoria Grand Opening Party on Nov. 11. Join the guys in person at 424 State Rd, Whately, MA 01373 from 2-6 p.m. with a Cheech & Chong Meet and Greet from 3-5 p.m. 

While there will be no cannabis consumption on site, fans 21 years of age and older are encouraged to come down and enjoy the experience to see the Dispensoria difference for themselves. This is not just a party; it’s a chance to hang out with Cheech and Tommy and christen the Dispensorias in true Cheech & Chong style.

Remembering Richard Simmons: Fitness Guru Dies at 76

Published

on

The world of fitness and wellness mourns the loss of Richard Simmons, the iconic fitness guru, who passed away at the age of 76. His longtime publicist, Tom Estey, confirmed the news to PEOPLE, stating that Simmons died at his Los Angeles home one day after celebrating his 76th birthday. The initial report was made by TMZ, which noted that law enforcement responded to a call from a housekeeper on Saturday, July 13, and no foul play was suspected.

Estey expressed the profound impact Simmons had on the world, saying, “The world has truly lost an angel.” Despite retreating from the public eye since 2014, Simmons continued to connect with his fans through social media. His final posts were made on the morning of his passing and the day before, thanking fans for their birthday wishes and sharing his gratitude for life.

Richard Simmons

Born Milton Teagle Simmons on July 12, 1948, in New Orleans’ French Quarter, Simmons had humble beginnings. He was the son of vaudeville performers and worked various odd jobs to support his family. As a child, Simmons struggled with his weight, reaching 270 lbs by the time he graduated high school. A pivotal moment came when he received an anonymous note on his car windshield, urging him to lose weight to avoid an early death. This led him to embark on a drastic and unhealthy weight loss journey that landed him in the hospital. Determined to find a sustainable path to health, Simmons moved to Los Angeles in the 1970s, where he delved into nutrition and fitness.

In 1975, Simmons opened Ruffage and Anatomy Asylum, a health food store and exercise studio that quickly gained popularity, attracting celebrities and launching Simmons into the spotlight. Over the next four decades, Simmons became a beloved fitness icon, known for his infectious energy and dedication to helping others. He released five bestselling books, produced over 50 workout videos, hosted weight loss cruises, and taught countless classes at his Slimmons studio in Beverly Hills.

Simmons’ vibrant personality and genuine compassion made him a fixture on talk shows and speaking tours. However, in early 2014, he stepped back from the public eye, citing the need to recover from a knee injury. His last public appearance was in January 2014, and he taught his final class at Slimmons in February of that year. Despite rampant speculation about his well-being, Simmons reassured fans in a 2016 interview with the Today show that he was in good health and simply taking time for himself.

“I do what I want to do as I’ve always done,” Simmons said. “I’ve taught, like, thousands and thousands of classes and, you know, right now I just want to sort of just take care of me. I just really don’t want to do anything. I just don’t want to be traveling anymore. It certainly has taken its toll on me.”

Richard Simmons’ legacy is one of inspiration, perseverance, and unwavering dedication to helping others achieve their fitness goals. His impact on the fitness world and the lives of countless individuals will be remembered and cherished. As we reflect on his life, we celebrate the joy and positivity he brought to so many and honor his enduring spirit.

Published

on

NEW YORK /PRNewswire/ — Leading squeezable pouch snack GoGo squeeZ® continues the momentum around its newest innovation, GoGo squeeZ® Active Fruit Blend with Electrolytes with an exciting new campaign, the ‘FUN-damentals,’ and a breaking partnership with trailblazing World Champion, Logan ‘Logistx’ Edra, all in service of taking the junk out of sports.

At a time when seriousness and social pressures are increasingly weighing down active lifestyles, the ‘FUN-damentals’ campaign puts a high-energy spotlight on the genuine joy of playing sports, being active and moving the way you love. The campaign reminds viewers to make fun the goal of staying active through a 30-second spot set to an original song called GET UP, written and performed for GoGo squeeZ® by Gen-Z Canadian rapper and actor, Connor Price. From pick-up basketball to pickleball to skateboarding and more, the spot shows how GoGo squeeZ® Active Fruit Blend with Electrolytes is a great sidekick to help replenish any active lifestyle.

GoGo squeeZ® continues the spirit of its ‘FUN-damentals’ campaign off-screen with a partnership with B-Girl and World Champion athlete, Logan ‘Logistx’ Edra, to encourage more people to give breaking, the “it” sport of summer, a try.  Breaking, with its dynamic energy and spirit, aligns perfectly with the ethos of the campaign, encouraging individuals to step out of their comfort zones and traditional sports to explore new avenues of excitement and self-expression.

“GoGo squeeZ® has been my go-to snack for years and I’m so excited to help introduce more people to the new GoGo squeeZ® Active with Electrolytes and to breaking,” said Edra. “I know athletes of all kinds can relate to the feeling of pressure in competitive environments. Both Breakin’ and GoGo squeeZ keep my journey fun and my spirit bright while dancing.”

The breaking athlete kicked off the partnership at the iconic Playground LA studio where she taught the fundamentals of the emerging sport that’s earning massive global attention and will take center stage this summer. Edra is further encouraging participation in the sport through a social media content series, teaming up with other breakers around the world, to help inspire fans to try the sport at home. Set to rapper Connor Price’s track Trendsetter, Edra and her fellow breakers will share their go-to breaking moves to encourage anyone to show off their moves along to the beat.

“Being active doesn’t have to be complicated. The ‘FUN-damentals’ campaign is a fantastic example of our GoGo squeeZ® objective to help simplify sports and turn physical activities into moments of fun and joy,” said GoGo squeeZ® Chief Marketing Officer Mark Anthony Edmonson. “We’re thrilled to partner with B-Girl, Logan Edra, and support the way she moves, especially as the sport’s audience widens this summer. From breakdancing to pick-up basketball, to a quick jog – the best way to stay active is to ensure you have fun while doing it.”
