Medusa: Curation. Speed. Support.

Medusa has redefined what it means to be a wholesale distributor in the category. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Roseland, New Jersey, the company emerged to fill a clear gap: retailers needed a supplier that combined access to the most sought-after products with a sharp read on emerging trends and real retailer feedback.

Medusa stepped into that space with a curated approach that unites high-quality brands, trend forecasting, and a buying experience designed specifically for smoke shops and dispensaries. Today, Medusa operates as both a leading multi brand distributor—stocking most major national brands across the category—and a house of brands, so retailers can source national names and exclusive lines from one partner.

Curation that Balances “What Sells Now” with “What’s Next”?

With over a decade of industry experience and a datadriven view of the market, Medusa selects products that are proven sellers while keeping a close eye on what’s coming. Shops can confidently stock items customers already love alongside innovative products with breakout potential—creating a balanced inventory strategy that keeps shelves fresh and customers coming back.

Portfolio Depth for Every Shopper and Budget

Medusa’s lineup gives smoke shop owners a practical advantage: the ability to meet diverse customer needs with ease. The portfolio spans national brands alongside Medusa-owned lines, letting buyers pair familiar bestsellers with differentiated, margin friendly exclusives. By covering everything from luxury glass to everyday essentials, retailers can serve both discerning collectors and casual buyers—and always have something new to discover.

Owned brands at a glance:

• MJ Arsenal — Premium, compact borosilicate glass that elevates flavor and efficiency; craftsmanship and portability make it a customer favorite.

• NWTN Home — Design-forward accessories that double as décor. Minimalist ashtrays and storage pieces fit seamlessly into modern spaces.

• Cartisan — Discreet, adaptable vaporizer hardware with modular designs and glass compatibility—made for portability and customization.

• Human Grade — Durable, accessible glassware and accessories for everyday use, meeting high quality standards at budgetfriendly price points.

Partnership First Operations

What sets Medusa apart is its focus on mutually beneficial, longterm relationships with retail partners. Each account is paired with a dedicated sales representative who can answer questions, suggest products tailored to a shop’s customer base, and provide marketing materials to help merchandise move off the shelves. Fulfillment is built for speed—most orders leave the facility within 24 hours—so stores can restock quickly and avoid missed sales.

Medusa also designs each owned brand with a unique visual identity while ensuring products are easy to sort, store, and display instore. Packaging and merchandising are intentionally consistent, making it simple for shoppers to understand what sets each product apart—so staff don’t have to explain every detail.

What’s New?: Data and AI for Smarter Buying

Recently, Medusa launched Smart Sort, an AI-powered tool to help retailers identify the right products to buy based on what similar customers are having success with. Think of it like a version of Netflix’s recommendation features, but for smoke shops and dispensaries. The goal: give buyers even greater confidence in purchasing decisions and keep them ahead in a fast-moving market. This technology enabled focus is aimed to help their customers make decisions in an industry where there is always a firehose of new products. Retailers can connect with Medusa at major industry events, including CHAMPS Trade Show, MJBizCon, Mary Jane Berlin, and Hall of Flowers in New York City.
