The candy-strain icon, now licensed and on New York shelves.
About The Brand
Runtz started in 2017 around a single Bay Area / LA phenotype hunt that crossed Zkittlez and Gelato into a flower with an unmistakable candy-sweet nose. What set it apart wasn't just the genetics — it was the marketing. The crew behind it treated a cannabis strain like a sneaker drop, leaning on streetwear and Instagram culture, and turned a phenotype into one of the most recognizable names in weed. Runtz is now in the New York legal market as a NY-licensed processor (OCM-PROC-24-000062), bringing that same candy-forward house style to compliant, lab-tested product instead of the unregulated stuff that traded on the name for years. The bag still looks like the bag — but everything inside it is now state-tracked.
Runtz is one of the few names a customer walks in already asking for by brand, not just by category — the recognition does half the selling. We carry it because the NY-licensed product backs up the hype with consistent, lab-tested candy-terp flower and carts, and because it gives our shelf a marquee name that pulls people in and then earns the repeat buy.

Runtz FAQ
This is the NY adult-use licensed Runtz brand, made under a New York processor license and lab-tested for the regulated market. The unregulated 'Runtz' bags that floated around for years aren't the same thing — what's on our shelf is state-tracked and compliant.
The house signature is that candy-sweet, fruity profile the strain got famous for — it traces back to its Zkittlez and Gelato lineage. Exact phenotypes and flavors rotate with each NY drop, so ask the counter what's in this week.
