It is the start of a new year, which is always a good time to pause and reflect on the previous year and set goals for the coming year. As we look back at 2024, OMFG ... what a year it's been! IC Collective is gaining traction in the Illinois market, and we are thrilled and honored to have been chosen for Leafly's Budtender's Choice Award for Illinois' Best Flower Brand of 2024. Thank you.
2025 is off to a distinguished start, and we have plans to keep progressing. We are operating at an elevated pace and look forward to releasing more new products this year. We will soon be releasing 5-packs of infused mini-joints that we've dubbed as "Quickies" because they will get you fueled up and warm your engine... quickly... despite the chilly weather outside.
This month's blog article aims to educate our esteemed readers about the intention behind the Quickies and offer insight to how we source the materials and R&D'ed them.
A highlight of the strain OMFG seems like a perfect kickstart for the year. Like January, we can think of it as a bridge from the old to the new, with OMFG's uniquely IC base flavors while also featurin fresh and fruity hightones, this strain is a link to the past with a neon sign pointing towards the future. Cheers to the year ahead and wishing you an abundant 2025!
 QUICKIES!In a world where time is fleeting and precious, and a proliferation - or proLEAFeration, we might say - of cannabis has changed the accessibility and, thereby, the quality of extracts of all kinds, IC Collective finds an answer to the limitation of time and the limitlessness of cheap extracts. Whether you’re spending your days in the hustle and grind, or you’re living a life of leisure (even momentarily), we have the way to get you where you’re going. IC Collective is rolling out a new product for those moments in time, the transitions between one place and the next, between one state of mind and the next, between the door and the L stop, or for that moment before you go into the show.
And trust us, it’s the moment that makes the difference. When time is of the essence, Quickies are essential. We have tested and re-tested them for taste, efficacy, and efficiency. Our goals were clear: to produce a pre-roll heightened with hash that ensures a substantial head and body high, but takes less time to smoke than a regular joint! Our dedicated team of growers and smokers put in real work to test the efficacy and efficiency of the Quickies, and the data we gathered speaks through the product. Our rigorous testing led us to a blend of 70% flower and 30% water hash that is made from our own fresh frozen flowers, no trim or shake. We use only IC Collective materials so that we have control over 100% of the process. The first release of Quickies will offer a Chem D flower and hash, a Sweet Sting flower and hash, and a Lemon Diablo flower with Modified Sour hash; we'll be offering other flavors soon. Every Quickie is made with strain-specific flower and hash - no mish-mash of strains muddled together in an amorphous conglomerate of flavors… we applied our own high standards to the Quickie to make sure you feel elevated in the moment. We shrank them a little from regular joint size (around 1.0 grams) to .5 grams to make them a little quicker to smoke and more discreet in the hand, and then added enough water hash to turn them up enough to make the high instantly noticeable. Perfect for a dedicated consumer; strong enough to share when you’re feeling generous. We made ‘em to get you HIGH. And for under $50, you can get 5 Quickies for the moments between, for the walk to the bus stop, the moment before the movie, the moment before your in-laws come over, or, perhaps, for the moment you get just to yourself...  FEATURED FLOWER - OMFG
If you haven't yet tried this strain, make it a goal for 2025. I mean, it doesn't get much better than OMFG .... It's fresh, it's edgy, and it's always in style. As we continue our efforts to shift the paradigm by focusing on terpenes, OMFG is a natural selection. Boasting a high THC content and a strong terpene profile, this strain offers all the things.
OMFG is an IC Collective original that made the trip from California to Illinois via tissue culture. A survivor of the Oakland fire, this strain is tough as nails. It's fun to grow and is a delight to the senses when you crack open a jar. We had a good time introducing this new genetic on the California market in 2018, and we love offering it on the menu in Illinois.
OMFG is currently available in Eighths, Half Ounces, Pre-rolls and Resin in 1g and 2g jars.
Genetics: Chem D x Fog Dog
OMFG pays homage to its genetic lines with that Chem D fuely profile that blends with Fog Dog for a tight bud structure and fruity terp tones.
OMFG offers radical body relaxation with a heady euphoric feel that can transcend you to another wavelength. It has a funky, spicy terpene profile and is a good choice for those chasing that THC heat.
OMFG is the result of a surprise pollen event with a Fog Dog plant that produced several worthy genetics.
Some people are lucky in a way that surprise events can become great assets, and the founder of IC Collective is one of those people... This idea shines a light on the fact that sometimes trying too hard to bend nature doesn't always produce what you want. The trick is to surrender to the flow enough to let nature take it's course and give you what she wants.
What an Honor!We have Gratitude and Appreciation to the Budtenders who voted for IC Collective. And Congratulations to the Illinois team who puts in the effort to make this vision come true.  |
