Which Connectedproducts a store carries changes by the week; the search below shows what is on that store’s shelf today.
Connected Cannabis Co. is a Sacramento grower and retailer. Founder Caleb Counts started out in 2009 at Fruitridge Health and Wellness Dispensary and launched the Connected brand in 2018 around the company's own bred strains, developed, the company says, through customer feedback and testing. Its legal entity is Connected International Inc.
Its California products are indoor flower in eighth and 10 gram jars, 1 gram pre-rolls, 1 gram live resin and cured resin cartridges, disposables, and extracts such as live resin and badder. Connected runs stores in Sacramento, Stockton and San Francisco and, its site says, has expanded to Arizona and Florida.
Connected and Alien Labs are sister brands under the same company, sharing distribution and retail licences; Alien Labs has its own page here.
The company describes itself as vertically integrated, growing what it sells, and says its strains are developed with consumer input and testing. Its site names no jar sizes or strains, so the live menu carries those, and the search buttons above open it store by store. A jar of Connected flower draws on California's 28.5 gram daily flower allowance and a Connected cartridge on the separate 8 gram concentrate allowance, so the two do not compete in one basket; the purchase-limits guide explains both.

Questions about Connected
- Is Connected the same company as Alien Labs?
- They are sister brands. Connected International Inc. runs both, the two share distribution and retail licences in California, and Connected's site calls Alien Labs its long-time partner. The strains are separate: each brand breeds and sells its own cultivars under its own name, and Alien Labs has its own page here.
- Does Connected have its own stores?
- Yes, three in California, in Sacramento, Stockton and San Francisco; the San Francisco one trades as Alien Labs Area 41. Our four stores carry the brand on their own shelves, and the search buttons at the top of this page open the live menu for it at each of them.
- What sizes does Connected flower come in?
- On our menu, eighths and 10 gram jars, with pre-rolls at 1 gram; the brand's own site lists no sizes, so the live shelf is the source. An eighth is 3.5 grams, and California's 28.5 gram daily flower limit is eight of them with a little to spare.
