Method Man's TICAL Official brand cannabis is being launched in Massachusetts in partnership with LowKey Dispensary, with more store availability rolling out soon after according to Yahoo Finance.

"Boston holds a special place in our hearts," said Nathaniel Vereen, TICAL Official co-founder. "There's a great hip-hop community here and the cannabis smokers know their stuff. I'm excited to work with another Black-owned store like LowKey and have high hopes for this launch."

"As a family-owned and proud minority-owned business, we find it refreshing that TICAL, an industry giant, has chosen to join forces with a local privately-held economic empowerment license holder," said Jeff Similien, CEO and owner of LowKey Dispensary. "Our shared vision of delivering top-notch products to the people, uniting music, art, cannabis and community as a way of life aligns with TICALS's mantra 'Taking Into Consideration All Lives.' We look forward to growing our brands together, supporting one another, and leveling up into the future."

According to their official website, TICAL(Taking Into Consideration All Lives) Official is a New York-based, multi-state operating cannabis brand backed by prolific rapper, actor and entrepreneur, Method Man. TICAL Official prides itself on partnering with the best licensed operators in each regulated state, to ensure that consumers always get the best flower and products possible.

Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon The Chef was recently granted approval to open up a cannabis operation in the state of New Jersey. NJBiz reported that earlier this year, the Newark Central Planning Board initially denied the application from Hashstoria, an Oregon-based franchise that partnered with The Chef. However, during their July hearing, the board reconsidered and granted the organization conditional permission to set up their business at 799-805 Broad St.

“THANK YOU NEWARK , NEW JERSEY !!!!!!!!!! and all my Amazing Partners @jeddcanty @bakarisellers @cthagod on this wonderful and culture shifting Endeavor," Rae posted to his social media, adding “@hashstoria is Guaranteed to be the top tier consumption lounge / dispensary to hit the east coast period ! you heard it from chef himself. we will be right in the heart!”
