Garcia Hand Picked was born from a five-year search by The Garcia Family to find the perfect partner to honor Jerry Garcia's cannabis legacy authentically. Launched in California in November 2020 through a partnership with Holistic Industries, the brand represents one of the first truly national celebrity cannabis brands.The Garcia Family, led by daughters Trixie and Annabelle Garcia, chose Holistic Industries after years of vetting potential partners, selecting them for their shared values, proven track record, and senior leadership team full of Deadheads. What started as a California exclusive has grown into a multi-state operation, expanding to Massachusetts in 2021, followed by Maryland, Colorado, and Oregon.According to BDSA data, Garcia Hand Picked has achieved remarkable success, becoming the #1 celebrity cannabis brand by revenue across the United States. The brand now operates in over 300 dispensaries across five markets, with their Super Lemon Haze taking second place in the Emerald Cup's Indoor Licensed Cultivator Flower category in 2021.
