Empowering Independents: The Heart of the IRCCollective

Since our founding two years ago, the IRCCollective has been committed to leveling the playing field for independent retailers.
With over 1,000 members and 80+ Licensed Producer partnerships, the IRCCollective isn’t just a collective—it’s a movement for fairness, sustainability, and success in the cannabis industry.

Our Impact:
$7M+ funneled back into members’ businesses, supporting local jobs and reinvestment
