What is Mighty Croz?
Mighty Croz is a craft cannabis brand founded by Crosby and his longtime friend and entrepreneur Steven Sponder. The two decided to collaborate to get Crosby’s name in the cannabis space in a quality way because people have been asking “Croz” (as his friends call him) to do this for more than five decades.

Mighty Croz is one of the world’s largest connoisseurs of cannabis. The company was announced in 2018. Brand licensing is only allowed in states where cannabis is legal and in accordance with local laws.
“I’m launching a weed brand for a few reasons. First, because people all aroud the world have been asking me to do this – forever. Other than music, it’s what I’m known for. After all, my friends including The Beatles and even Willie would say I always had the best weed. I’ve been enjoying cannabis for over sixty years – so I have a lot of experience. Also, I’m doing this because it’s fun. Weed is fun, people who like weed are fun – and I like to have fun in my life. I have a PHD in fun,” Crosby said when asked why is he launching Might Croz, according to the company website.
