Zizzle's journey began with founder and CEO Zion Foss, a Manhattan-born, Queens-raised cannabis pioneer whose 20+ year career started during prohibition when growing cannabis could land you in jail. After honing his craft through years of trial and error, Zion moved to California during West Coast legalization, then to Pennsylvania for a CBD operation, before returning home to New York City as a legacy grower.Founded as one of New York's first legal licensed cannabis brands, Zizzle earned its trademark as "New York's Original Cannabis Company" by establishing operations right as the state legalized adult-use cannabis. The brand made history in 2023 when their Silver Haze strain won New York's first legal licensed growers cup at the Long Island Cannabis Coalition Cannabis Cup.From humble beginnings, Zizzle has grown rapidly to serve 80 dispensaries across New York state, from Western Buffalo to Eastern Long Island. The company purchased a farm operation in Liberty, NY, and is currently building out a distribution center in Brooklyn while planning an indoor cultivation facility to meet growing demand.
Zizzle's mission centers around their core slogan "Live Free" – representing both the freedom that cannabis legalization brings and their commitment to naturally-grown, additive-free products. The company is dedicated to providing safe, legal cannabis that supports New York's regulated market while maintaining the authentic cultivation practices that defined the legacy cannabis community.As expressed by founder Zion Foss, "We're providing safe cannabis and I'm proud to be behind that." The brand prioritizes rigorous compliance and testing standards while advocating for simplified regulations that support legal entrepreneurship in New York's cannabis industry.Their commitment extends to preserving traditional growing methods, refusing to use artificial terpene sprays or chemical additives, and supporting local dispensaries through collaborative partnerships. Zizzle believes in strengthening the legal cannabis community by supporting fellow New York businesses and maintaining the highest standards of product quality and safety.
