Since launching their signature Slice pre-rolls, Toast has achieved significant milestones including launching in Michigan and New York in 2023, with announced expansions into New Mexico and Arizona.The brand has garnered impressive media attention, with Forbes calling Toast the "Moët Hennessy of Cannabis".
