At a glance
Lord Jones is a premium cannabis brand founded by Cindy Capobianco and Rob Rosenheck, first known for luxury-positioned U.S. CBD gumdrops, Royal Oil and body care. Cronos Group acquired the Redwood companies behind the brand in 2019. The U.S. store later closed, but Lord Jones is not dormant: Cronos relaunched it as a THC-focused adult-use brand in Canada in November 2023 and expanded it into Israel’s medical market in 2026.
Founders and original concept
Capobianco and Rosenheck developed Lord Jones in Los Angeles after operating a medical-cannabis collective and studying cannabinoid research. By 2017 the pair had shifted toward hemp-derived CBD products with black-and-gold prestige packaging. Royal Oil, gumdrops, chocolate chews and topicals helped the label cross into mainstream beauty and lifestyle retail.
Cronos acquisition
In 2019 Cronos agreed to acquire Redwood Holding Group and its operating subsidiaries for approximately US$300 million, subject to adjustments. Cronos’ later filing records aggregate consideration of about US$283.3 million and assigns US$64 million to the Lord Jones brand intangible asset. The acquisition moved ownership from the founders’ Redwood platform into a public global cannabinoid company.
U.S. closure and Canadian reset
The current U.S. domain is a farewell page saying the brand moved north and intends to return to the United States as an adult-use leader. Meanwhile, lordjones.ca is an active Canadian product site. Cronos launched the new Canadian chapter in November 2023 with Hash Fusions ice-water-hash infused pre-rolls, replacing the old CBD-only shopping context with regulated THC products.
Current Canadian products
The Canadian range includes Hash Fusions and Live Resin Fusions pre-rolls, live-resin and liquid-diamond live-resin vapes, Live Resin Caviar concentrates and Chocolate Fusions edibles. A Taster Series offers three half-gram hash-infused pre-rolls with a reusable ceramic tip. Exact potency, strain and provincial availability vary by product.
Chocolate and vape expansion
Cronos introduced a Lord Jones live-resin vape in January 2024, followed in February by Chocolate Fusions in Cookies and Cream, Dazzleberry Pop and Salted Caramel Crunch. Later product development extended the premium positioning across multiple THC formats rather than recreating the former U.S. CBD catalog.
Current ownership and production
Lord Jones is now part of Cronos Group’s portfolio beside Spinach, PEACE NATURALS and LIT. Cronos’ 2025 filing identifies Canada and Israel as geographic markets and lists dried flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers and edibles in the brand offering. Canadian products move through provincial cannabis authorities and private retail channels where permitted.
Market performance
Cronos reported that Lord Jones maintained a top-three position in Canada’s chocolate-edible category during 2025 and led the hash- and live-resin-infused pre-roll segment. These are company-reported market positions, not judged product awards. The underlying retail dataset and reporting period should travel with the claim.
International expansion
Cronos’ 2025 annual filing says Lord Jones was available in Canada and Israel, and that the brand launched five premium flower strains into Israel’s medical market in February 2026. That medical channel is distinct from Canadian adult-use retail and from any future U.S. return.
