Brand overview
Smokiez is a family-owned edibles brand founded in Oregon in 2010 by the Wright family. Its signature vegan fruit chews have expanded through licensed manufacturers across the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and other legal markets. The company also sells hemp-derived wellness gummies through a direct channel that is distinct from state-regulated cannabis.
Founders and family history
The brand began with a family recipe and a goal of improving taste, texture and approachability. Chuck Wright is identified as co-founder and chief executive in the company's 2026 expansion announcement, while the broader official story credits the Wright family rather than publishing a complete named founder list. Smokiez marked fifteen years in compliant cannabis sales in 2025.
Signature THC fruit chews
Smokiez makes fruit chews using cannabis oil, fruit flavors and a characteristic chewy texture. Its standard chews are vegan and gluten-free, and the company has been removing artificial colors across markets. Package dose varies widely by jurisdiction—from 100-milligram totals in some adult-use markets to much higher medical-market packages—so per-piece labeling is essential.
Cannabinoid ratio products
The portfolio includes CBD:THC balance chews, CBN:THC sleep products, CBG:THC formulas and THCV:THC daytime-positioned chews, plus live-resin variants. Mood-oriented names are marketing categories, not promises to treat sleep, anxiety or attention conditions. Individual effects vary and the label controls the actual ratio.
Lemonades, topicals and hemp line
Selected regions carry infused lemonades and a cooling topical roll-on. Smokiez' direct wellness shop offers CBD, CBN, CBG and hemp-derived delta-9 gummies where permitted. Unlike the regulated chews, direct-shipped hemp items operate under federal and state hemp rules; availability and dose restrictions differ.
Licensed multistate model
Smokiez publishes an unusually useful license page naming manufacturers and license numbers by market, including partners in Arizona, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah and Washington. This means the brand formula is localized through licensed producers rather than shipped as marijuana across state lines.
Footprint and expansion
A March 2026 company release reported operations in 22 U.S. markets plus Puerto Rico and Costa Rica, with a goal of 26 U.S. markets by year-end. Those are company-reported, dated expansion figures. The region page remains the best guide because not every format or dose is sold in every jurisdiction.
Awards and notable achievements
Smokiez reported first-place Best in Grass 2025 wins in both New Jersey and Illinois for Sour Watermelon in the Edible Gummies category. It also describes itself as the fourth-largest U.S. edible company, a company-sourced market claim. This profile preserves named, dated honors and avoids an unsupported lifetime award count.
