In 2022, we saw the debut of artist Vic Mensa‘s 93 Boyz brand in Illinois. The Black-owned cannabis company with deep ties to the Chicago community offers pre-rolls in three signature strains.

This holiday, we suggest the Pit Stop pre-roll, a 0.75 g joint that makes the perfect stocking stuffer. This hybrid blend pre-roll will help you or someone you love take a moment to relax amidst the busy holiday season without making them want to take a nap.

It’s also great to have in your pocket for a sesh with your friends or cousins.
