Why Floridaze?
Floridaze was born from a simple idea: cannabis beverages should be as refreshing and social as they are uplifting. We saw a gap in the market for premium THC seltzers that truly capture the Florida lifestyle—light, fun, and perfect for any occasion.
Our focus is on creating social and uplifting experiences. Whether you're at a beach bonfire, a backyard BBQ, or just relaxing after a long day, Floridaze is designed to enhance those moments without the heaviness of traditional cannabis products or the hangover of alcohol.
We're committed to quality ingredients—no artificial flavors, no shortcuts. Every Floridaze seltzer is crafted with premium cannabis extracts, natural flavors, and a dedication to consistency. We believe you deserve to know exactly what you're putting in your body, which is why we're transparent about our sourcing and production processes.
Born in Tampa, Raised in Tampa
Tampa isn't just where we're based—it's who we are. Our local roots run deep, and we're proud to be part of this vibrant, diverse community. From Ybor City to Bayshore Boulevard, the Tampa Bay area inspires everything we do.
The Florida lifestyle is all about sunshine, water, and good times with great people. We've captured that essence in every can of Floridaze. Our THC seltzers are designed for beach days, boat trips, and backyard hangs—the moments that make living in Florida so special.
Community involvement is at our core. We partner with local Tampa businesses, support Florida-based suppliers, and give back to the community that raised us. When you choose Floridaze, you're supporting a Tampa company that's invested in our city's future.
