(The following press release was provided verbatim by Insa)
Insa, Inc., an independent medical and adult-use marijuana company, today announced the opening of its first dispensary in the state of Pennsylvania, marking the company’s vertical integration in the state.
Located at 3511 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square, the new dispensary completes Insa’s Pennsylvania operations across cultivation, processing, wholesale distribution, and now retail, offering patients in the greater Philadelphia area convenient access to the brand’s handcrafted medical marijuana products.
“We’re proud to complete our vertical integration in Pennsylvania after years of building our wholesale presence and understanding the needs of patients,” said Peter Gallagher, Co-Founder and CEO of Insa. “This milestone lets us bring the full Insa experience to life combining cultivation, product creation, and now retail, so patients can feel the same quality, care, and connection that define our brand.”
Among its Pennsylvania offerings is Gillie Grows by Insa, a premium flower line developed in collaboration with Philadelphia influencer Gillie Da King. The collection features six hand-trimmed strains, each with distinct flavor and aroma profiles. Patients will also find Insa Troches, high-dose THC sublinguals recognized for their quality, potency, and value available in flavors including Black Cherry, Sour Green Apple, Tropical Citrus, and Pineapple Coconut.
In addition to its own handcrafted products, Insa has partnered with Connected and AlienLabs – two of California’s most revered premium brands – to bring their award-winning flower and world-renowned genetics to Pennsylvania in early 2026. Strains will include Biscotti, Gelato 41, Kryptochronic and more. Known for cultivating some of the most exclusive and meticulously bred strains in the industry, Connected and AlienLabs have set the standard for top-shelf medical marijuana products through their decades-long commitment to pheno-hunting, terpene preservation, and uncompromising quality. Connected has selected Insa as its exclusive grow partner for the PA market.
On Wednesday, Insa announced the Pennsylvania launch of Pastilles, the state’s first sublingual product line designed to melt in the mouth for rapid onset and consistent effects. A new innovative product type developed by Insa, a first for the Pennsylvania market in the sublingual category.
Formulated by Insa’s culinary and research and development teams, Pastilles combine pure THC diamonds (99% THC) with natural fruit flavors in a gluten-free, plant-based format. Each piece delivers 20mg THC, totaling 400mg per package, offering patients a potent, affordable option at $30 retail.
“Pastilles bring together the precision of our lab with the creativity of the kitchen,” said Julian Rose, Insa’s resident chef and head of Research & Development. “They offer patients a faster-acting, great-tasting alternative that redefines what the medical marijuana experience can be.”
Pastilles launch in five flavors including Watermelon, Raspberry, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, and Cherry and are available at Insa’s brand new retailer in Newtown Square along with all Insa retail partners across Pennsylvania.
