Where to find Smoke Breaks
Our story
Founded in 2018 by former tech executives Sarah Chen and Marcus Lopez, Smoke Breaks emerged from a shared frustration with cannabis products that didn't fit into busy professional lifestyles. Both experienced cannabis consumers, they recognized the need for consistent, measured doses that could be enjoyed quickly without disrupting productivity.Starting with a small production facility in Oakland, California, Smoke Breaks initially launched with just three pre-roll varieties. Their innovative "15-minute experience" concept—carefully formulated products designed for a brief but effective cannabis break—quickly gained traction among urban professionals.By 2020, they had expanded to Colorado and Washington, and secured $5 million in Series A funding to develop their signature "Micro Dose" line. In 2022, they were recognized by Cannabis Business Times as one of the "Top 10 Most Innovative Cannabis Brands," and their distribution has since grown to include over 300 dispensaries across seven states.

Mission
At Smoke Breaks, we believe cannabis consumption should fit seamlessly into modern life without compromise. Our mission is to destigmatize cannabis use by providing consistent, predictable experiences that enhance rather than interrupt daily routines.We are committed to three core principles: transparency in sourcing and production; accessibility through education and approachable products; and sustainability in both environmental and business practices.For our customers, this means providing detailed information about effects, duration, and intensity with every product, alongside educational content that empowers informed choices. We maintain this customer-first approach by regularly incorporating feedback into product development.Beyond products, we're dedicated to equity in the cannabis industry through our "Growing Together" program, which provides mentorship and startup funding to entrepreneurs from communities disproportionately affected by cannabis prohibition. We believe responsible cannabis businesses must acknowledge this history and work actively to create a more equitable industry.
