What Heavy Hitters does

Heavy Hitters is a family-owned, vertically integrated cannabis manufacturer and distributor founded in 1996 and headquartered in San Fernando Valley, California. The company designs, formulates, and distributes premium THC products across five primary categories: vapes and cartridges (including 1G cartridges and All-In-One devices), gummies, pre-rolls, flower, and tablets, with a secondary line of concentrates (2G live rosin). Heavy Hitters serves experienced, high-tolerance cannabis consumers in California's, New York's, and New Jersey's regulated retail channels, positioning itself as the 'original premium cannabis brand in California' with the self-described best-selling premium vape cartridge in California (10M+ cumulative units) and the #1 selling premium vape in New York.

The company's product portfolio is built around proprietary extraction and formulation technologies rather than commodity cannabis inputs. These include the Ultra Extract process yielding 85-90%+ THC oil from the top 1% of indoor flower harvested within 30-60 days, the Slow Capture method involving 1,000+ hours of cold extraction, dual ceramic gravity-fed chamber hardware for All-In-One devices, THCA diamond infusions for pre-rolls and fast-acting edibles, solventless live rosin processing from 5- and 6-star hash, and the STLTH Tabs / Unlokt Technology sublingual tablet platform delivering 5x greater bioavailability and 8x faster onset than traditional edibles. Sub-brands include Ultra Extract (vapes), Lights Out (CBN sleep), Lights On (THCV energy), Jelly Roll (live rosin pre-rolls), and STLTH Tabs (tablets). The portfolio is differentiated by strain-specific phenotypes and rare-cannabinoid formulations (THCV, CBN, CBG, CBC) targeting use cases such as sleep, energy, recovery, and euphoria.

Heavy Hitters generates revenue exclusively through wholesale sales to state-licensed cannabis dispensaries in California, New York, and New Jersey; the company does not sell direct-to-consumer online and instead drives dispensary traffic through an e-commerce website with a store locator, brand storytelling, and product detail pages. Pricing is set at the retail level by individual dispensaries and is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, has not disclosed any institutional funding or acquisitions, and operates with 51-100 employees under continuous family ownership since founding. Its California manufacturer license (C11-0001429-LIC) and three-state regulatory footprint function as the primary operational moat.
