Know Your Brand: SweetBuzz – Illinois News Joint

To better promote the Illinois licensed craft growers and infusers that will be offering free samples at the inaugural Illinois Craft Showcase set for 12-7 p.m. Sept. 7, we are highlighting participating crafts with our Know Your Brand series. This Know Your Brand showcases SweetBuzz.

SweetBuzz, under Drecisco Farms, was founded in Illinois April 2024. SweetBuzz offers several products for those sweet tooth’s out there. SweetBuz options include 20mg-tube and 100-mg pouches of Sweet Sparks, 100mg pouches of Sweet Somethings (including Peanut Better, Mint Chill, Caramel Met Cookie, and Cookie Got Creamed), 40-mg Sweet Somethings Multi Packs, and 100-mg pouches of Sweet Empowder.

The SweetBuzz mission is “to create great-tasting cannabis products that uplift hearts and minds through natural growing practices and ingredients, exclusive genetics, and generational confectionery experience.” According to brand representatives, “SweetBuzz was born out of a deep friendship and a shared sweet tooth. When David Drehobl met Francisco Macias at The Georgia Nut Company decades ago, they realized they had more in common than a love of candy. Over time, the two discovered they shared a love of invention and innovation, putting it to good use making and selling candies known for their elevated taste and consistent quality.”

“The two friends soon realized that their shared love of candy, and the healing power of cannabis could be put to greater good,” SweetBuzz said. “Dave and Francisco saw a need for two things in the emerging cannabis industry: products that tasted great and companies that fostered great employee culture. Together, they founded the SweetBuzz brand with the belief that products can taste as good as they make people feel. And that their company should be a best place to work, with all employees prospering from this inventive, rapidly growing industry. While Francisco recently lost his long battle with cancer, his passion for helping others and legacy lives on.” When Francisco was diagnosed with cancer, he used medical cannabis to help manage his pain.

SweetBuzz also is committed to giving back to the City of Marengo and McHenry County communities by supporting several different animal rescues and more. SweetBuzz can be found on Instagram and TikTok @getsweetbuzz.
