Canna Culture: High Herstory Series Premiere
Quality free streaming TV just got so much better. High Herstory Season One is now available in over 150 million homes across 15+ networks with distribution including AppleTV, Roku, Android TV, Amazon Fire, Samsung+. Playstation, Pluto TV, Plex, and more through Social Club TV, a content distribution network dedicated to weed.
The original series also streams in thousands of cannabis dispensaries via Enlighten TV, an in-dispensary TV network that makes billions of impressions at the point of sale.
High Herstory is a comedy series featuring cannabis-consuming women telling under-told, groundbreaking stories of historical women, reenacted using actors and stylized animation. As fun as drunk history, but way less frat bro, and with much more purpose. The show normalizes cannabis consumption and showcases the best brands out there to an audience that is hungry for representation. Women, much like cannabis, have been largely misrepresented by history. Season one of High Herstory tells the diverse, inspirational, and highly entertaining stories of nine incredible women.
The show’s cast includes Roberta Colindrez, most recently seen in Starz “Vida”, Hulu’s “Mrs. America” and “Mosterland” Fun fact – Annette, Jenny, and Kendall all met Roberta as theater students together at Texas State in San Marcos Texas. Don’t miss Celia Au of Netflix’s “Wu Assassins”, Monique Moses of Netflix’s “Astronomy Club”, Iman Richardson of Comedy Central’s “Jack & Triumph Show”, IFC’s “Frank and Lamar” and Pooya Mohseni of Amazon’s “Big Dogs” and CBS’s “Madam Secretary”.
High Herstory also partnered up with the Youth Empowerment Program in New Orleans to hire post-production assistance for the show, giving graduates of the program – which focuses on providing opportunity to underserved communities – their first gigs in film and the hard-to-break-into cannabis industry.
Each episode features an original score by different musicians, including two episodes composed by Julian Gosin of iconic New Orleans band The Soul Rebels.
The High Herstory theme song was composed by Harlee Case (co-founder of cannabis brand house Ladies of Paradise and pre-roll company Lady Jays) and Josh Smith’s band New Constellations. The band also created an original score for episode five about Texas governor Ann Richards.
The series hopes to inspire audiences to dive deeper into women’s history stories that feel more timely now than over. One episode features public health expert Dr. Sarah Josephine Baker, who in turn of the century New York, contributed to our modern day understanding of disease and captured super spreader Typhoid Mary. According to historian Bettany Hughes, only .5% of recorded history includes the contributions of women. High Herstory may strike a silly tone but it’s mission is clearly important – share the stories from women’s history and speak to female cannabis consumers. Women make up ⅓ of cannabis consumers. They are growing at a 9% higher rate than male consumers, meaning that by 2022 women will make up 50% of cannabis consumers. If cannabis brands are not marketing directly to women, they’re losing out.
