Simpler Daze currently operates across Colorado, California, Oregon, and Michigan, partnering with over 30 carefully selected dispensaries that align with their quality-first philosophy. Their product line includes flower, pre-rolls, and solventless concentrates, with a focus on balanced THC:CBD ratios that promote functional relaxation without overwhelming effects.Their cultivation process combines organic soil practices with cutting-edge environmental controls, resulting in consistent cannabinoid and terpene profiles across harvests. Each batch undergoes comprehensive testing beyond state requirements, with results accessible via QR codes on packaging.Simpler Daze organizes their offerings into three experience categories: "Daily Balance" for functional daytime use, "Creative Flow" for enhanced focus and creativity, and "Evening Ease" for relaxation without sedation. Rather than constantly introducing new strains, they perfect a core collection of 12 signature varieties, periodically releasing limited seasonal cultivars that showcase experimental terpene profiles.
Simpler Daze began in 2018 when three friends—a master grower, a biochemist, and a wellness advocate—united around a vision: cannabis that prioritizes balance over intensity. Starting in a modest Colorado greenhouse, they meticulously developed strains focused on the complete cannabinoid profile rather than just THC potency.The brand gained recognition in 2020 when their signature "Mindful Moment" strain won the Emerging Cultivator Award at the Cannabis Cup. This success allowed them to expand to California and Oregon by 2022, while maintaining their commitment to small-batch cultivation methods.Unlike many cannabis brands that rushed to scale, Simpler Daze intentionally limited their growth to preserve quality. Their patient approach paid off when they partnered with select dispensaries that shared their philosophy of mindful consumption and transparent sourcing. Today, they represent a counterbalance to the industry's "higher and higher" trend, championing a return to cannabis's foundational benefits.
