Instead of hoping and waiting for their favorite strain to land on a dispensary menu, local and tourist shoppers will have the opportunity to explore a highly curated selection from the RQS catalog built over the last 15 years of more than 130 different cultivars, including autoflowers, feminized and true F1 hybrids—all with exclusive offerings in-store.

“Once updates to the Farm Bill took place in 2022, and we began offering our legal products to the U.S. market, we knew we had to jumpstart our search for the perfect location to launch a physical footprint,” said Shai Ramsahai, president of RQS.

"The House of Cannabis offers a unique environment in ‘The City That Never Sleeps,’ and we feel confident that with this partnership we’ll grow a leadership position in the cannabis seed and cultivation product market here in the States."

Known for operating at the highest international agricultural standards with research and development at the forefront of cannabis breeding and cultivation, RQS has already seen significant demand across the U.S. market in states that allow seed distribution, having sold almost half a million seeds online in the last 10 months.

Strains

Classic strains like White Widow, Critical and Northern Lights are among the best-sellers, along with newer releases with sweet, fruity and pungent flavor profiles, including Cookies Gelato, Quick One and Purple Queen.

“Cultivating cannabis at home is both challenging and incredibly rewarding, similar to having a vegetable garden,” said Maxence Majot, technical manager and grow expert of RQS. “A store-bought tomato never tastes as good as one you’ve carefully grown and nurtured yourself. We believe that through home cultivation, cannabis consumers develop a deeper understanding of the plant, which makes them smarter shoppers.”
