Sublime

At a glance

Which Sublime this profile covers

This record covers Sublime Canna, the Oakland, California manufacturer associated with infused pre-rolls, vapes, extracts and edibles—not the band, beer brands or unrelated cannabis businesses with similar names. The company's original website is no longer a dependable active catalog, so its history and present status require dated sources.

Oakland origin and leadership

Acquisition materials say Sublime was founded in 2016. Alex Fang was identified as chief executive in the company's 2018 financing announcement. Sublime operated licensed manufacturing and distribution capabilities in Oakland, giving it control over both product production and wholesale movement during its independent growth period.

Fuzzies infused pre-rolls

Sublime became best known for Fuzzies: flower-based pre-rolls combined with concentrate, oil and an exterior kief coating. Historical lines included larger singles, multipacks and different cultivar or effect categories. Naked Fuzzies removed the outer kief layer while retaining an infused core. These are historical product descriptions, not current stock promises.

Vapes, extracts and edibles

Beyond infused joints, Sublime sold vaporizer cartridges, extracts, roll-your-own flower products and low-dose edibles such as Dosies mints. Product claims about terpene preservation, purity or effects require batch and formulation evidence; a former catalog description cannot establish what a present-day product contains.

2018 financing and awards

Sublime announced a $6.2 million Series A in May 2018 to expand capacity and launch products. That release also reported a 2017 Hempcon Cup Finals award for Best Cartridge. Award language is limited to the named product category and period; the available sources do not support a complete lifetime trophy count.

Harborside acquisition

Harborside completed its purchase of Sublime in July 2021 for total consideration reported at US$43.8 million. The deal announcement described a purchase of all issued Sublime shares and highlighted Fuzzies, vapes and roll-your-own kits. Transaction value is historical consideration, not a current brand valuation.

2024 Smoakland transaction

Smoakland announced a 2024 acquisition of Sublime's manufacturing operation, employees and license. However, Marijuana Business Daily later corrected its reporting to state that the Fuzzies brand was not part of the transaction. That correction makes any simple claim that Smoakland owns Fuzzies unreliable.

Current status and availability

Sublime's original consumer site is offline and a verified current statewide SKU or retailer ledger was not found. The manufacturing assets may continue under Smoakland while Fuzzies ownership is separately unresolved in public sources. A licensed retailer package and California license lookup are needed to establish who currently made a specific item.

Research notes and claim limits. This profile preserves the documented company history while correcting the earlier tendency to treat the 2024 transaction as including Fuzzies. It labels product ranges, awards, financing and ownership by date. No active website, current executive roster, complete safety history, live laboratory ledger or definitive present owner of the Fuzzies trademark was established.
