ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Evol by Future (or "Evol"), the multi-platinum superstar Future's line of ultra-premium cannabis, announced its debut in Illinois marking a huge milestone in the brand's trajectory. Evol's market launch is in collaboration with Legacy, recognized for their commitment to quality, expertise, and exceptional track record of operational excellence.

Beginning today, Illinois adult consumers can purchase Evol's premium cannabis products, including flower, pre-rolls, and infused pre-rolls. Products are now available throughout Illinois at 35+ retailers, including Windy City, Stash, Sunnyside, High Haven, EarthMed, and Enlightened dispensaries.

"From the energy of Chicago and through the whole state, Illinois has a unique vibe that's all about hustle and creativity, and I'm ready to bring something special to the scene here," said Future, the founder of Evol by Future. "This isn't just about premium cannabis—it's about raising the bar and giving the people something next-level. Being tied to this community is special because Chicago is like a second home for me and the people have always embraced me as one of their own. I can't wait for Illinois to experience the quality and originality of Evol and finally see what we've been working on."

Since its debut in May of 2023, the Evol by Future brand has rapidly gained popularity among cannabis connoisseurs. It can be found in a total of five markets, more than 250 retailers throughout the country, and is set to reach additional retail locations by the end of this year.

"Future's vision and relentless drive are what make Evol stand out," said Adam Wilks, CEO of Carma HoldCo, the parent company of Evol by Future. "Evol is more than just a brand—it's a movement. We're confident that just like his music, Evol will resonate deeply with cannabis enthusiasts in Illinois. At Carma HoldCo, we're all about bringing top-tier products to new markets, and launching Evol in Illinois is a testament to that mission."
