At 5am with overflowing inboxes and the smell of cannabis lingering from the day before, the lights are on at Next1Labs. One person is talking about terpene profiles, while another plans out a production schedule. Long before Next1Labs / HAZĒ Industries products hit dispensary shelves, this is where the real story begins.
In the cannabis industry, it is easy for us to focus on the finished product. The vape on the shelf, the concentrate in the jar, the preroll ready to be sparked, but behind every product there is something far more meaningful, the people.
At Next1Labs and HAZĒ Industries the real story isn’t simply innovation. It’s about the collective energy behind a small and dedicated team of people whose passion and belief behind the plant drives everything the brand creates.
Like many cannabis companies who started in the beginning years of legalization,
Next1Labs started with a dream of producing high quality flower and concentrates at
affordable pricing, Keeping Next1labs accessible to everyday consumers.
As the company expanded the vision grew.
With that expansion came HAZĒ Industries. A more elevated brand focused on premium oils that create mood-enhancing, vibe inducing experiences for consumers across the board. Now, dedicating the brands to bridging the gap between everyday lifestyle and luxury from seed to sale.
This dream connected a team from different backgrounds. Some come from cultivation, who work tirelessly to ensure the foundation of everything we make starts with quality. Others came from extraction labs who are fascinated by the science behind turning the flower into the oil that make up Next1 and HAZĒ products. Some found their way through sales, operations, design and marketing.
What people see on dispensary shelves is only a piece of a much bigger story. Behind every Next1Labs cartridge, HAZĒ Juicebox live resin, or HAZĒ Portal all-in-one, is also a production and fulfillment team keeping the entire operation moving with a level of organization and efficiency that honestly feels more like an art form than just manufacturing.
Cannabis is a unifier.
It sparks community in a way that many other industries don’t understand. That spirit is
something the Next1Labs and HAZĒ Industries team carries daily. Of course, that spirit is also powered by a coffee in one hand and a strong sativa in the other.
The cannabis industry moves fast. Trends change, technology evolves and the market never really seems to slow down. But beneath all that is something deeper. The legalization didn’t just create an industry, it created a safe space for people who are drawn to it looking for more community, creativity or simply a different way of moving forward.
Next1Labs and HAZĒ is simply a reflection of that. A group of people brought together by cannabis, each contributing their own craft, perspective and energy to something they genuinely care about.
At the end of the day the products are what people take home but the heart of it will always be the Next1Labs / HAZĒ team that made them possible.
