Partnering with Cheech & Chong’s Cannabis Company
In November 2024, Redemption Botanicals reached a thrilling milestone by joining forces with Cheech & Chong’s Cannabis Company, a legendary name that embodies the heart and soul of the culture.
Cheech Marin, co-founder of Cheech and Chong’s Cannabis Company expressed his excitement: “We’re thrilled to introduce our premium cannabis to Illinois with Redemption Botanicals. Their commitment to quality and community spirit make them the ideal partner to help bring our brand to Illinoisans.”

Cannabis Craftsmanship at the Core
At Redemption Botanicals, true craftsmanship starts with meticulous cultivation practices. Their state-of-the-art facility features advanced air sanitization technology, ensuring compliance with Illinois’ strict testing standards. CEO Marshall Lionti highlighted the importance of these measures:
“We wanted to take every precaution to stay ahead of any contamination, so we’ve stacked the rooms full of ProGuard units, which helps us maintain a clean environment.”
This relentless focus on safety and quality ensures that every Redemption Botanicals product reflects the care and expertise that defines their brand. Illinois’ testing protocols include stringent requirements for pesticide residue, microbial contamination, and cannabinoid potency, all of which Redemption Botanicals consistently exceeds. They set a benchmark for quality assurance and regulatory compliance so consumers can trust the products are cultivated in one of the cleanest, safest environments in the state.
This unwavering focus on quality extends to their team. The cultivator employs approximately 30 full-time staff and plans to hire more cultivation, packaging, and logistics talent as the company continues to scale. Redemption Botanicals cultivates cannabis while creating opportunities. Lionti assisted in the development of Parkway Dispensary and Molly’s Joint in Tilton as well, and combined operations have created around 100 jobs in Tilton, cementing their vital role in the local community.
