Pleasantrees was founded in 2018 by CEO Randall Buchman, a Michigan State University alumnus whose journey into cannabis began as a medical marijuana patient and caregiver in 2010. After using cannabis to manage chronic pain from a teenage jet ski accident, Buchman started a commercial-scale grow facility in 2013, which evolved into the company's state-of-the-art 50,000-square-foot cultivation facility in Harrison Township.The company opened its first retail location in East Lansing in September 2020, marking a significant milestone for the vertically integrated operation. In 2022, Pleasantrees partnered with Blake's Hard Cider to form Emerald Canning Partners, a joint venture focused on cannabis-infused beverages at the historic Gibraltar Trade Center in Mount Clemens. The company became Michigan's first locally-founded multi-state operator with expansion plans to western Massachusetts in 2021.In October 2024, Pleasantrees launched its groundbreaking "Enjoy More" campaign alongside a 'Never Remediated' pledge, proudly affirming they've never remediated a single gram of cannabis flower since founding. Today, the brand operates five retail locations across Michigan and continues to be one of the state's largest cannabis wholesalers.
