Getting to Know 8 Mile Brandz:The Leaders in Craft Cannabis Cultivation

The Origins of 8 Mile Brandz

The story of 8 Mile Brandz is similar to that of any small business startup. 8 Mile Brandz is no stranger to humble beginnings. Ironically, the business was founded 8 years ago. 8 Mile began in a less-than spacious basement with a scarce amount of necessities. During this time, there were only two medical cannabis dispensaries available in the entire state of Michigan. The brand gets its name from the popular mile road located in the land of the Motor City. Just like 8-mile road, 8 Mile Brandz is saturated in cultural advancements, accessibility, and longevity.


8 Mile Brandz originally began with a hydroponics setup. As the project grew, the owners wanted to find a way to add a bit more TLC to craft the best cannabis possible. Thanks to their tenure as an LED Expert at Venture Lighting, the number one supplier of metal halide, the owners of 8 Mile Brandz had quite the advantage of cultivating craft cannabis. The expertise would be evident in multiple cannabis cups to come.

As aforementioned, 8 Mile Brandz specializes in the cultivation of craft cannabis for patients located in the Greater Michigan area. This is not an accolade that can be self-bestowed. 8 Mile Brandz has taken home several 1st place prizes in the Cannabis Cup. Recently, 8 Mile Brandz' craft cannabis strain 9 Lb Hammer was selected as the winner and Best in Show. At that time, 9 Lb Hammer was only carried by top-shelf dispensaries. The strain was adored so much that patients often would have to preorder the winning strain just to secure a few buds. These sentiments can also be applied to 8 Mile Brandz' other strains. Some of these craft cannabis strains include Gorilla Glue, Crystal Cookie, Pink Lean, Black Ice, as well as Lemon Pie. Some of the biggest cannabis expos have critically acclaimed all of the strains cultivated by 8 Mile Brandz to date.
