Today, we shine our spotlight on a brand that many of our flower lovers are likely familiar with: our friends at IC Collective.
IC is renowned around the cannabis world for their amazing attention to detail and rare, exclusive genetics which have become among the most sought-out strains in the area. Dedicated to perfecting and evolving their powerhouse ‘Chem’ genetics, IC has carved out a comfortable niche with members seeking premium product and uplifting effects. While IC specialize in loose flower and prerolls, concentrate connoisseurs may have also sampled the brand in the past, as we’ve carried a few IC x Dabblicious live resin collaboration over the years. Let’s delve a little deeper into the foundation that allows IC to consistently stand out in such a competitive industry.


IC is an Oakland-based provider that was founded in 2009; IC stands for ‘Integrity Code,’ a reference to the company’s dedication to originality and opposition to “following trends.” Our more free-spirited members will surely align with IC’s mission statement that they were “born out of genuine love for Grateful Dead culture” and their flower contains “the spirit of Jerry Garcia coursing through.” In fact, IC’s founder first discovered Chem genetics at a Phish (fellow jam band) concert back in 1993. According to their website:


“He was immediately entranced and set out on a quest to discover the strain’s origins. The course of his life was altered. After befriending the person responsible for the Chem Dog strain, he ultimately gained access to the genetics that our entire library centers around. Today, Chem Dog is remembered as the preferred strain among the deadheads who were lucky enough to get it back in the final years of Grateful Dead tour.”


In the 20+ years since, IC has secured a well-earned reputation for possessing some of the most unique and refined Chem genetics; offering a collection of approx. 12 permanent strain selections, celebrating the spirit of legendary Chem, while all offering their own unique spin on the genetics. This dedication to the craft has earned IC an army of followers across the world, as well as a plethora of awards on the competitive cannabis circuit, including wins at both the 2013 and 2014 NorCal High Times Cannabis Cup.
