Inside Award-winning Kiva Confections: Kristi Palmer’s Vision for Consistency and Creativity in Edibles.

Kristi Palmer, Co-Founder and President of Kiva Confections, stands as a true trailblazer in the edibles industry. Kiva is widely recognized as the global leader in cannabis- and hemp-infused edibles. The brand truly offers something for everyone with award-winning Camino and Lost Farm gummies and fruit chews, Petra mints, Terra chocolate bites, and Kiva chocolate bars. Born in 2010, Kiva's products are the most trusted, recommended, and sought-after edibles available today, with loyal customers in 36+ states across the U.S.

Palmer’s passion for creating a healthy regulatory environment for the industry led to serving on the boards of several cannabis trade organizations, including nine years on the Board and a term as President for CCIA (CA Cannabis Industry Assoc.), and as a founding Board member of CCMA (CA Cannabis Manufacturer’s Assoc.). In this interview, we dive into the story of Kiva's humble beginnings, the flavors that fuel her passion, and her thoughts on how cannabis can transform perceptions—even those of a certain former First Lady. Buckle up for this sweet and inspiring ride as we ask Kristi five questions about life, legacy, and, of course, edibles.

High Herstory: Can you tell us the story of how you became the founder of one of the top cannabis edible brands in the U.S.?

Kristi Palmer: My husband Scott and I just graduated from photography school and were having trouble getting our careers off the ground when the recession hit. Living in the Bay Area in California, we were aware of the shifting views on cannabis, saw that it was more accessible than ever, and felt it could be an exciting space to be in. It was definitely risky, but at the same time we had nothing to lose. Our first venture was a small cannabis grow in the backyard of my childhood home. It didn’t last long but it did give us an appreciation for the art of growing and introduced us to the industry as well as the many shops that we would end up building long-term relationships with. Everyone we met was passionate, knowledgeable and really cared about the plant and those who used it. It was in visiting these dispensaries that we realized there was a huge opportunity for edibles innovation.

We knew if we could create delicious, consistent, and beautifully-branded edibles that we could enjoy ourselves and share with our friends, they would be a huge hit for everyone. That’s when we began developing the Kiva brand and started making chocolate in our home kitchen. That was 15 years ago. Fast forward to today and we have a house of brands that include those original Kiva chocolate bars, our beloved Camino gummies and chews, Lost Farm gummies and chews, Terra bites and Petra mints. Earlier this year, we expanded our Camino product line to include hemp-derived gummies available through an e-commerce site and in retail stores in some states where it’s legal. Our products are available legally in 36+ markets and we continue to expand. 

HH: We know how passionate you are about edibles being as delicious as they are functional. What’s your personal favorite flavor at Kiva?

KP: That’s like asking which child is my favorite! Peppermint bark is one of Scott and my favorite chocolate treats and while we don’t have it every year, when we do make the Kiva Peppermint Bark Dark Chocolate bars (only 100 mg per bar), they are my favorite.

KP (con’t): Everything we do at Kiva is intentional and must exist to solve a problem for the consumer; to capture a new use case or help them create a new experience. From flavors to format to effects, every one of our brands and products were created for a different type of cannabis consumer but my personal favorite are the chocolate bars because that’s how we started. In our early days we used to make peppermint bark. We were naive but feeling adventurous, and we hand slabbed peppermint bark to give to our retail customers and budtenders as a thank you. It took us absolutely forever, but it came out beautifully. This was back in medical times, and the bark was equal in strength to our 180 mg THC bars. It became infamous as it was irresistibly delicious but also punishingly strong for those who weren’t expecting such a high dose. Peppermint bark is one of Scott and my favorite chocolate treats and while we don’t have it every year, when we do make the Kiva Peppermint Bark Dark Chocolate bars (only 100 mg per bar), they are my favorite.

HH: Kiva's known for innovation. If you could collaborate with any historical figure to create a new cannabis product, who would it be and what wild concoction would you whip up?

KP: Nancy Regan. Hear me out. I truly believe in edibles as a way to warm people up to cannabis, so much so that I think that given the chance, they might even make some headway with this infamous anti-cannabis figure. That could in turn have had an impact on the degree in which our society demonized cannabis and the people who used it. We are stuck facing the disastrous consequences of the War on Drugs, and I just can’t help but wonder if sitting across the table from Nancy for a few hours creating, talking and tasting, that maybe she could have been swayed. We would make a micro dosed, chocolate covered fresh strawberry to enjoy right there in the moment. 

HH: You've mentioned the importance of consistency in edibles. Do you have an "oops" story from the days before precise dosing was a thing?

KP: Leading up to our first trade show, we had to make as many chocolate bars as we could for inventory but we didn’t have proper equipment to make the quantity we needed. One step in the process requires that you cook off the ethanol and you have to stir it all day long. So we came up with a contraption… if you put it under a vacuum, it lowers the temperature to speed up the process. Under a major time crunch, we waited for magic to happen but it imploded and extraction got all over the kitchen, and all over Scott. We had to save it because it was all we had, so we salvaged it but consistency, potency and precise dosing was a differentiator for us and what we built our reputation on, so we knew we had to re-test it and we ran a sample to the lab right before it closed. On the way back, Scott got pulled over by a cop for a traffic issue. Not knowing what he had in the car, the cop thankfully let him go. We made the deadline and ended up bringing in $5,000 in cash at our first trade show in 2011, only five weeks after the launch of Kiva. We could have cut corners at every step of the process to make our lives easier but we did everything by the book and believe that’s how we got to where we are today - hard work, grit, commitment to innovation, quality, consistency and always acting with integrity.

HH: As a trailblazer in the cannabis industry, what advice would you give to entrepreneurs interested in a career in cannabis?

KP: It is a small industry with many people who have been fighting for access long before Scott and I started Kiva. I would say to any entrepreneur entering cannabis, do your research, learn the regulations and nuances, and build a strong network around you and the company. With every new state we enter, we have a new ecosystem of partners and retailers we have to build and nurture which takes time and resources but is essential to growth. The last piece of advice: be patient. While we’re optimistic about the future, we’re all still waiting on federal legalization, rescheduling, SAFER banking or some movement on one or all of those fronts.

Kristi Palmer’s success with Kiva is proof that the best ideas are born when creativity meets thoughtfulness. Whether you’re savoring one of Kiva’s delectable creations or dreaming of your own cannabis venture, Kristi’s wisdom and wit offer a delicious dose of inspiration.

For the smoker who wishes for their smoking accessories to offer the same level of refinement and design they seek for their home decor: The Vase by Mantelpiece

We’re not saying all things cool are born in New York, but Mantelpiece certainly makes for a convincing argument to that statement. After a decade in the product  space, Mantelpiece  founder, Elisabeth Chambry, set out to design a smoking accessory that merged form and function while also seamlessly integrating into your home. After 3 years and a few prototypes — voilá, Mantelpiece was born!

The Vase by Mantelpiece, $300

This vintage inspired “vase” is designed to remain proudly on display, blending in with your decor even when not pristine. How you may ask? The Vase features a discreet two-piece design: fresh flowers on top disguise a fully functional water pipe hidden below. 

The Vase is made out of high-quality borosilicate glass, and looks like it is cut crystal from a bygone era. The real kicker is that The Vase just launched this fall as a limited edition with only 500 pieces available. It’s engraved with a unique design on the silicon boot on the bottom of the upper vase which makes this a bold statement piece that is sure to be a collectable heirloom that can be passed down for generations.

For the high minded cannabis lover with a penchant for style and great smells: bong candles

You’ve probably lit a candle to hide the smell of your bong, but have you ever used a bong as a candle? This novel idea for a stoner-chic present really stood out to us: bong candles! Picture this: a sleek, beaker-bottom bong filled with 18 oz of hand-poured, 100% soy wax that burns for over 100 hours! Once the candle has burned through, this versatile piece transforms into a fully functional bong.

bong candle, $75

We tried the "vigilante shit" scent which captures the essence of sweet revenge with notes of black currants, tonka bean, amber, and absinthe. The “throw” (how well a scent fills the room) was excellent on this candle, without being too over powering. Basically, it fills your home with scents that are undeniably high end.

There are so many fun scents — including holiday editions like the canna cane bong candle (sweet peppermint, sugar, vanilla, and musk), tis the season (pumpkin spice, warm vanilla, cardamom, and cinnamon sugar buttercream) and Xmas treez bong candle (scents of evergreen, cedar and fir on a warm base of amber).

After trimming the wick (IYKYK a very important step to candle burning - extra points if you use a wick trimmer), light your bong candle with an electronic lighter and let it burn for 1-2 hours to ensure an even burn and no dreaded candle tunneling. We loved that the bong candle top even sparkles with a dusting of color-coordinated shimmer for that extra touch of glamour. They also recently launched reed-diffusers that allow the bong candle to be turned into a scent diffuser after it has burned to completion.

Crafted with care in small batches in Scottsdale, AZ, these candles are free from pesticides, parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. The phthalate-free fine fragrance oils ensure a clean burn and a delightful aroma that will fill any space. Once the candle has burned through, simply clean out the remaining wax (pro tip: never microwave it!), and you've got yourself a unique, upcycled bong or vase! The brand also offers wick trimmers, stash candles and downstem + bowl sets to turn your candle into a bong once you have finished it, the cutest and most thoughtful stocking stuffer.

Highlights: female-owned company, eco-friendly, non-toxic, unique.

For the rugged individual who likes to keep their stash secure and scent-free, especially on camping trips: The Silverton Bundle by Stashlogix

We are always on the hunt for smell-proof solutions for our cannabis, yes, we love the plant but sometimes we have to keep our goodies under wrap so Santa’s elves don’t raid them! Enter Stashlogix and their hardshell Silverton case with a programmable combination lock, adjustable dividers (that absorb odors with their patented one-of-a-kind Discreet-O-Matic activated carbon fabric), and silver foil liner.

The Silverton Bundle, $75

Engineered by a Dad in Colorado looking for a “thoughtful, discreet, secure” way to store his cannabis, it’s easy to see why it has become one of their best sellers. This holiday season we highly recommend the Silverton Bundle to make someone’s merry sesh even merrier. The Silverton Bundle includes the Silverton case, Stashlogix’s popular SmartJar, Bamboo StashTubes, 3 StashTins, and a roll of Papers – basically anything a midnight toker might need while camping or while “taking a trip to the garage”.

You really can’t go wrong with this gift for any outdoor enthusiasts in your life.

Basically the Stanley Cup of bongs, Chill is crafted from high-quality stainless steel. Also, this bong is practically indestructible—making it the perfect companion for camping trips, lively parties or just for generally clumsy people.

Chill Steel Bong, $125

It’s no secret we’ve been longtime fans of Chill Steel Pipes. This season, we’re thrilled to recommend their Limited Edition Mirror bong. These pieces are a striking blend of innovation, practical function and beauty. Yes, the reflective design–in copper or gold finish–glimmers with elegance, making it the perfect addition to your holiday decor. However, what truly sets the Copper Mirror Chill apart is its remarkable double-wall vacuum insulation, which keeps your water ice-cold hours. Say goodbye to lukewarm hits. We’re done with feeling lukewarm about anything in 2025. It’s all about refreshingly cool puffs this holiday season and beyond. Just fill your Chill with ice, and let the it deliver smooth, frosty hits that will leave you feeling like you just made snow angels even if it doesn’t snow on Christmas where you live.

The modular design allows for effortless disassembly, ensuring cleaning is a breeze. You can also mix and match different stems, bowls and percolators to create the perfect, customized piece. Yet there’s really no going wrong with the original classic stainless steel design.

5 Questions with Jessica Cadmus, The Founder of Rogue Paq - A Design-Forward Brand of Cannabis Carriers, Tools, and Accessories

Rogue Paq was founded by NY wardrobe stylist and Goldman Sachs alumna, Jessica Cadmus (AKA the Wardrobe Whisperer), who thinks non-stop about how people present themselves. Her style advice and commentary has been featured on CBS This Morning, Bloomberg TV, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, The Atlantic and many more. We interviewed her about her brand, the cannabis industry and what is next for her.

HH: How did Rogue Paq come into existence, and what sparked your journey in the cannabis industry?

I’ve been a wardrobe stylist for 17 years which has taken me into the closets and bureaus of many, many folks. What I noticed is that these otherwise extremely sophisticated individuals were housing their stashes in some really unsophisticated vessels (think shoe boxes, old toiletry bags, Ziplocs). As more and more states became legal I remember trying to source a chic way for my clients to store and travel with their cannabis and I found nothing acceptable. That’s when I decided to design the Ritual Case- and Rogue Paq was born.

HH: How has your background in fashion and finance shaped the design philosophy of Rogue Paq, and what key elements do you think are vital for creating successful cannabis accessories?

It was very important to me, as a stylist, to have access to a chic and highly functional vessel, specifically designed for carrying cannabis. I wanted something that would match the highly cultivated aesthetic of my clients yet function seamlessly for all the tiny tools necessary for cannabis consumption. That’s why I designed the Ritual Case are selected premium materials - lambskin and suede with gold hardware. The case looks understated, yet elevated. From there I just kept designing products which I felt uplifted the aesthetic of the cannabis ritual - hence Rogue Paq’s tagline: Raise Your Ritual. It was also important to me to retain some of the weirdness inherent in cannabis culture, and so while I always strive for best quality for all products, I wanted some of the designs to be extra cheeky. The SendNudes collection is a great example of this. It’s fun and irreverent and sexy. Same goes for the Thank You for Pot Smoking Collection - these pieces are designed for beauty and function but also to make the user giggle. To answer your second question  -key elements for creating successful cannabis accessories are good design, great quality, and a specific and unique point of view.

HH: What’s the most surprising feedback you've received from customers about your products, and how has it shaped future designs or offerings? OR What role does community play in Rogue Paq's mission, and could you share some of your favorite past or upcoming collaborations?

It’s been important to us from the beginning to know we are part of something larger which is why we created our Rogue Paq Gives Back program. We are especially sensitive to the fact that the cannabis industry continues to grow and flourish while many suffer in prison for non-violent cannabis-related crimes. We also understand how the Black community is disproportionately and adversely affected. We created a Black Lives Matter Bundle where 100% of the proceeds are donated to organizations like Last Prisoner Project and National Bailout. Additionally, it’s important to us to protect our vulnerable youth and so the proceeds of our Bootyful Bundle are donated to organizations like Trevor Project and National Action Alliance. 

We are also sensitive to how our actions as an e-business affect the environment and so we, in conjunction with other businesses, have a climate commitment which has removed thousands of tons of carbon from the atmosphere and has provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million collective orders.

HH: How do you think personal style and cannabis consumption intersect in today’s culture?

As a stylist I believe that everything you wear/carry and fill your home with reflects your taste and sensibilities and, therefore, who you are. The more that cannabis is legalized and destigmatized, the more people are comfortable carrying and displaying their cannabis rituals. For instance, in my home I have a canna-bar which is an open display of the tools and implements I use on the regular. It’s not dissimilar from a traditional bar but mine includes items like Poppy (no surprise!!), my Ritual Case, candles, rolling papers and tray, and an assortment of Rogue Paq lighters and matches.

HH: What guidance would you offer to those looking to break into the cannabis industry?

The best advice I can give is to show up and be consistent. There are a lot of obstacles to working in an industry that is not federally legal. Everything you do feels like you are swimming upstream. However, take heart, because if it was easy, everyone would already be doing it.

The flavor is a harmonious blend of botanicals and light sweetness, expertly balanced to avoid overwhelming your senses. Each sip is a refreshing dance on the tongue, with just enough complexity to keep you engaged. The micro-dosing aspect ensures that it’s gentle on the palate while providing a soothing experience. As a former NYC bartender, I was pleasantly surprised by this flavor profile, it wasn’t too sweet and had subtle Angostura bitters notes, one of my favorite notes!

I love that this is an alternative for the gardening girlies who enjoy have a social cocktail but don’t love the feeling that alcohol gives.

By offering a sophisticated option for those curious about cannabis without the fear of overwhelming effects, it’s helping to reshape our relationship with this ancient plant. I loved the Raspberry Iced Long Island Iced Tea the best of the Pamos canned cannabis cocktails (woah try saying that 3 times fast) that I tried. Second runner up was Peach Bellini, I liked that these had less sugar than some other canned cocktails, and the flavor profile of both are just wonderful! Their Strawberry Margarita Spritz was my least favorite, it kind of tasted too perfumey for me, but hey some people are into that sort of thing!

Final Thoughts: In a world where wellness and enjoyment can coexist, PAMOS shines as a refreshing alternative to bringing booze to a party and for creating craft cannabis cocktails at home. It’s more than just a cocktail; it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and conscious consumption. Whether you’re a seasoned cannabis enthusiast or a curious newcomer, PAMOS invites you to sip, savor, and share the experience.

Raise your glass to the future of cannabis and hemp beverages—PAMOS is a delightful companion on this journey!

Bongs are more than just smoking devices—they’re an extension of personal style and a gateway to smoother, more enjoyable hits. With advancements in bong designs and accessories, it’s easier than ever to create a setup tailored to your preferences. This guide explores the best bong percolators, hookah-style adaptations, and mouthpieces to help you elevate your experience. If you’re chasing smoother rips, cooler smoke, with a unique look, this is the list for you.

What is a Percolator Bong?

At its core, a percolator bong is a water pipe that uses additional filtration chambers, called percolators, to cool down and filter the smoke before it reaches your lungs. The percolator, or "perc," breaks down the smoke into smaller bubbles, increasing the surface area that comes into contact with water. This process not only cools the smoke but also filters out impurities like ash and tar, resulting in a much smoother hit.

Why Choose a Percolator Bong?

Percolator bongs offer several advantages over traditional bongs:

Smoother Hits: The additional filtration helps reduce harshness, making it easier on your throat and lungs.

Enhanced Flavor: By filtering out unwanted particles, percolators allow you to enjoy the full flavor profile of your herbs.

Cooler Smoke: The cooling effect of the water combined with the percolation process means you can take bigger hits without discomfort.

Aesthetic Appeal: Many percolators feature intricate designs that add visual interest to your smoking setup.

How to Attach a Percolator to Your Bong

Check the compatibility of your bong and the percolator. First, determine the joint size, which is commonly 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm. Next, identify the joint gender—whether it’s male or female—and know the connection type (ground glass or threaded).Begin the attachment process by inspecting your setup. Clean your bong thoroughly and check the joint for any damage. Measure the joint size and gender to ensure a proper fit. When selecting the right percolator, choose one that matches your bong’s joint size and consider the type of percolator you want, such as honeycomb, tree, or showerhead.

Bong Connection Adapter for Chill Steel Pipes

For an easy way to customize your bong you might want to consider Chill Steel Pipes. Basically the Stanley Cup of bongs, that always keep your hits cool, these modular bongs allow you to easily attach various percolators and accessories.

Mantelpiece Founder Elisabeth Chambry on Designing Artful Homeware That Elevates Both You and Your Space

We are proud to introduce Mantelpiece, the bong that makes for an ideal gift for that interior design enthusiast in your life, or a well-deserved treat for yourself to elevate your home decor. Founded by Elisabeth Chambry, this Brooklyn-based homeware line redefines our understanding of decor with a playful twist. The inaugural piece, a stunning vase that doubles as a functional bong, invites you to elevate your smoke sessions into an aesthetic experience. Mantelpiece transforms your mantel into a canvas for both floral beauty and elevated rituals. We chatted with Elisabeth to gain some insight into her vision for Mantelpiece. 

---

High Herstory: Mantelpiece blends vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. Can you share the journey behind creating your signature product, The Vase, and how you balanced both form and function in its design?

Elisabeth Chambry: Creating Mantelpiece and our inaugural product, The Vase, has been many years in the making. It all started back in 2021, when I began sketching the first designs. I wanted to reimagine a traditional bong as one that was completely unrecognizable on a shelf, even if it had been used. 

My goal was to create something I had never seen before: a piece that incorporates two water wells—one for smoking flower and another for arranging bouquets. Bongs have always been mistaken for vases or end up with a single flower tucked inside, so I leaned into that dual purpose intentionally. I’ve always been drawn to vintage aesthetics—there’s something about the timelessness of vintage finds that brings character into a space. I wanted this piece to feel universally beautiful, blending seamlessly into any home. Balancing form and function was always the main ambition. With my background in product journalism, I know exactly how my peers scrutinize products, and I wanted this piece to stand up to that same discerning eye. I wanted to create something that looked just as striking after use, knowing that keeping it spotless every time isn’t always realistic. After too many design variations to count, I finally landed on our final design.

HH: Your brand emphasizes the importance of ethical manufacturing and sustainability. What challenges have you faced in ensuring that your products are both environmentally friendly and high-quality, and how have you overcome them?

EC: Sustainability and ethical manufacturing have been at the heart of Mantelpiece from day one, but achieving both without compromising on quality has definitely come with its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles was finding a manufacturer who could execute our intricate design using materials and practices that align with our values of environmental and social responsibility. We’ve worked hard to balance sustainability with affordability, ensuring each piece is high-quality and beautifully crafted. The cost reflects everything that goes into this process—from fair wages and ethical practices for everyone involved to minimizing our environmental impact every step of the way.

HH: Mantelpiece draws inspiration from Art Deco and mid-century modern styles. How do you select the specific design elements from these eras to incorporate into your products, and what role does nostalgia play in your creative process?

EC: I wanted to blend modern and vintage elements so The Vase could effortlessly complement any home decor. My inspiration drew heavily from Art Deco’s timeless elegance, particularly after a trip to the Queen Mary in Long Beach, where the symmetry and intricate detailing left a lasting impression. I’ve always had an eye for mid-century design as well; its clean lines and warmth add a balance that makes The Vase feel at home in both vintage and contemporary spaces. 

Nostalgia certainly played a role in the creative process—I love the aesthetic familiarity of these eras, and I wanted The Vase to feel like a beautiful relic of the past, yet one suited for modern-day living. Our first run of Vases includes a unique engraving, making each one feel like a collector’s piece. I have this vision of 100 years from now, on some Antiques Roadshow–style program, where people are discussing The Vase as a cherished artifact from the cannabis destigmatization era of the 2020s.

HH: The dual-purpose nature of The Vase as both a bong and a statement home decor piece is quite innovative. How did you approach the challenge of making a product that feels both elegant as a home decor item and practical as a smoking device?

EC: I knew The Vase had to feel refined enough to sit on a mantel or coffee table, but it also needed to be easy to use and maintain as a smoking accessory. The key was to keep the form sleek while incorporating thoughtful design features, like the separate water wells for smoking and displaying flowers. 

It delivers a rich, satisfying hit—there’s plenty of surface area inside, allowing for a fuller pull than usual. Plus, it’s easy to hold and has a sturdy design that won’t tip over. It’s actually been my main way to consume since I got my hands on a smokable prototype.

HH: Mantelpiece supports the Last Prisoner Project, a cause tied to cannabis reform. How does this partnership align with your brand values, and how do you envision Mantelpiece contributing to broader social change within the cannabis space?

EC: I feel it’s important that anyone who takes up space in the industry is mindful of the landscape and the work still to be done. I believe that no one should be in prison for cannabis. As the recreational and legal industry grows, we can’t lose track of working toward meaningful change. That’s why we’re committed to donating a portion of our profits to the Last Prisoner Project, supporting their work in expunging records and freeing those imprisoned for nonviolent cannabis offenses. Mantelpiece also sees its role as helping to destigmatize cannabis use and fostering an industry that’s both inclusive and fair for everyone involved.

High Exposure Agency and the Future of Cannabis: An Interview on Equity, Advocacy, and Collaboration

High Exposure Agency was born out of a shared desire to create an inclusive and equitable cannabis market—one that prioritizes community, collaboration, and social equity over traditional capitalist models. 

The cannabis industry is undergoing rapid changes, and agencies like High Exposure are at the forefront, driving the conversation about equity, advocacy, and community engagement. 

We sat down with the managing partners of High Exposure—Annette Fernandez, Kassia Graham, and Amy Chin—to learn more about their journey, how small businesses can overcome challenges, and their commitment to reshaping the cannabis industry with a focus on collaboration and inclusivity.

High Herstory: Can you tell us about your backgrounds and the motivation behind starting High Exposure agency?

Annette Fernandez: I consider myself a corporate dropout after spending 19 years in specialty retail between Macy’s, The Gap and Victoria’s Secret. I didn't want to work in an environment with that kind of hierarchy and patriarchy. For a lot of people in corporate America, as a single mother, you really can't make it work. I mean, I couldn't. And I find that many single moms have to sacrifice a lot, their health, their mental health and their physical health.

We started this agency to help redefine capitalism and community inside of the cannabis industry. How can we change the constructs that we all believe about capitalism so that we can work together and drive a new kind of economics that work for people like us. 

Our mission is really to create the market we want to see. I think this is what's leading us here to this work and why we're holding on to it so fiercely despite how incredibly difficult and gut-wrenching it can be.

Kassia Graham: I got into the cannabis industry at the tail end of my stem cell transplant after two bouts of cancer in 2017. It’s one of the reasons why I got into the space, like a lot of people who get into cannabis after being afflicted with something, and it tends to be one of their healing methods. 

I cut my teeth in the industry by starting out at CannaClusive. We focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the space, making sure that folks of color were represented not only on social media, in front of a camera, and on dispensary floors, but also in the boardroom, and key positions. I also was the Chair for Cannabis for Black Lives, where we helped to raise money for cannabis and cannabis-adjacent organizations that were focused on justice-impacted people and communities. 

I've worked for a dot-com, I've worked nonprofit, I've worked corporate, also a dropout because of whistleblowing. But I was thankfully able to leave on my terms. For me, it’s about building a market where everyone has a fair chance.

Amy Chin: I was born in Chinatown, Manhattan, and now live in the Lower East Side. I’ve always been a downtown person. I started in product development at Macy's. I was there for about a decade until I realized that corporate is not for me. I left and went into restaurant management and did that for a few years. Then after becoming a mom, had my two kids, and realized a night schedule as a parent was not working. I fell into anxiety and postpartum depression.

At this time, I had already been a long-time THC consumer. And while going to therapy, it was at my therapist's suggestion to try CBD because she knew that I didn't want to use pharmaceutical drugs. When I did try the CBD, it was amazing for my mental health. That was when what drew me to working with this plant. I wanted everyone to know all the different healing properties about it and how it can help them. 

So in 2019, I started Calm Better Days and as a cannabis coach, I guide those new to plant medicine on how to consume effectively and customize treatment plans according to their lifetstyle needs. My e-commerce site,consists of a highly curated selection of mostly female-owned, small craft, BIPOC-owned brands because I wanted to represent the marginalized community. As legalization came to New York, I wanted to continue that mission, which is how Annette and I met. We had the same foundation of corporate not feeling right and capitalism and trying to make sure that the industry goes in a direction where we're trying to help the people that really needed the help and who were passionate about the plant and doing it for the right reasons.

High Herstory: It’s clear that each of you brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to equity and community. How does High Exposure incorporate these values into its everyday operations?

Annette Fernandez: For us, it's about understanding that no block is the same. No borough is the same, no neighborhood is the same. It's about going into these areas with an understanding of what your community really is. We are here to create the market we want to see and help companies understand that relationships and understanding local needs are important. It’s more than just putting up a storefront.

Considering that New York City has the greatest cannabis consumption in the entire world, we have always been leading in cannabis in one way or another. Though we may not be known to have the most fire genetics in terms of culture, we have contributed greatly.

High Herstory: Could you give an example of how this commitment to community has influenced a specific project or partnership?

Annette Fernandez: In our partnership with Terp Bros, we literally knocked door to door, with Jeremy, the founder. He approached opening his store with the philosophy of being a good neighbor. We created a campaign called 'Say Hi to Your New Neighbor,' where local businesses put signs up for Jeremy on their businesses, so we could cross-promote.

Many of them offered Jeremy's customers discounts, driving traffic to them. It was a beautiful way to open the store. This business has increased month over month and week over week. It’s a perfect example of how collaboration works—we know you have to build relationships to succeed.

High Herstory: How do you define the role of advocacy in building a successful cannabis industry and what strategies do you recommend for brands to engage with the community?

Kassia Graham: I think that everyone should be an advocate, whether you are a consumer, whether you're a retailer, processor, lawyer, if you're in the space, you should be serving as an advocate. Otherwise, I don't think that your reason for being here is genuine. I think that it's extremely important for folks who make it up that ladder to reach their hand back. We're seeing that sometimes people don't do that, and it's very detrimental to the industry and to people across the board.

It’s your duty to give back. You don't have to break the bank doing it. You can hire from within the community, purchase goods from the community, and make sure that when people are coming and putting that money into your dispensary, you are making sure that some of it gets back into the community. That could look like doing a book bag drive, aiding like a tiny library, a food panty, community fridges, doing those little things that really matter to the people in your community. 

It’s also showing up to meetings, virtually or if it's in person, to your community board, to your assembly person, to your senator. It’s signing petitions, making sure that if there's a comment period that you were there chiming in, even if it's a couple of sentences, doing your absolute best to give back, no matter what. That is of the utmost importance. And it's not hard to do. That's the thing. It's not hard to do. And if you don't have the words, find someone who can help you with the words.

Annette Fernandez: Advocacy is non-negotiable for us. If you're in the cannabis space, you should be advocating for fair policies and equitable practices... We've spent a lot of our free time, reading through regs, doing webinars, showing up at meetings, making commentary, organizing trips upstate to Albany, all of that for free. And at the end of the day, it's important work to me, and I'm not going to stop that.

There are 50 bills right now on the legislator floor in New York State that challenge the MRTA (Marihuana Regulation & Taxation Act)... At the end of the day, equity is under attack every single day in this market. If you’re a small business owner, whether you're Black, Brown, or white, you're still up against multi-state operator capital and lobbyists and litigation.

High Herstory: How can small businesses in New York City's cannabis market overcome these challenges and how is High Exposure preparing to address them?

Kassia Graham: Capital is a big challenge for small businesses, especially for those led by marginalized communities. The regulatory environment is also tough, with constant changes and challenges to equity provisions. We’re preparing by staying informed, engaged in advocacy, and building strong networks. It’s about resilience and making sure we’re not just surviving but thriving.

Amy Chin: There's also a disconnect of information around the whole supply chain, as well as people who are going from legacy to legal. A lot of the jobs and opportunities are being taken from out of state. Shopkeepers are overwhelmed and are also on a very, very tight budget as well. And I do think that for the ones that do hire, sometimes they are going to hire someone from out-of-state because they believe that because of that prior experience that they're going to have a bigger ROI on choosing that out-of-state person who's been in a mature market. And sometimes not seeing that actually having someone local who is plugged into the community in terms of the plant community and physical location might be a better option. Our thought at High Exposure is to build and encourage circular economy so we can all thrive. 

So we wanted to address that and be the connector within the community so that everyone has a better fighting chance. 

High Herstory: What do you believe makes an effective leader in the cannabis industry?

Annette Fernandez: Staying curious, asking versus telling is an important one. Just because you sold it on the block doesn't mean it's going to be the same as selling it in brick and mortar... Managing employees and leading employees is very different when you have labor laws and the EEOC to answer to.

I think wanting to develop other people and have people grow in your business is also another really important quality in a leader. And even before that, how they choose talent and who they are selecting to hire into their organizations, whether you're a dispensary or a processor or a cultivator. I think that's super important because it adds to the strength and health of your business. Turnover is expensive so employee retention is important. Our leadership training develops leaders who can ask questions, who can coach their employees, who can receive feedback, as well as give it and understand that this is important to create a great place to work. If you want to have a great place to shop and you want to treat your customers well, you've got to treat your employees well.

Kassia Graham: I will also add a willingness to learn and grow. Oftentimes there are people who are very stuck in their ways. And if you're going to be in cannabis, it's not solely about how good something smells or how high a customer can get. You also have to dig deep into the data. Is this a product that is resonating with who my intended audience is, who is my intended audience. Everything is not for everyone and that's okay. 

So being open to understanding what it is that's driving consumers, as opposed to just thinking that if you build it, they will come. You have a lot of competition, and the competition is not just coming from people who are in the licensed market. People are still going to their plug. People are still visiting these random shops that have popped up everywhere now and then.

Also being able to change with the times. Being able turn on a dime like that, because as we can see, it feels like every other day, there's some new sort of lawsuit that is looming. And anyone who doesn't have the capacity to cope with all of those consistent changes and those, you know, fits and starts that we have in the industry, unfortunately, are not going to have the best outcome.

High Herstory: You mentioned moving away from traditional models of capitalism. What does that look like for you?

Amy Chin: I think another great thing about High Exposure is that we love to amplify: amplify good messages, and amplify companies that are doing good. The saying “collaboration over competition” has become popular but it’s not always practiced. Competition is so cutthroat right now. I think that at High Exposure, we want to lead by example and are very intentional about the work that we do. We are showing the industry that it can be possible to live by this phrase. 

Annette Fernandez: It goes back to like this whole notion of like, can we be good capitalists? How can we model what it means to be equitable? And equitable means like, for example, in this partnership, we'll be very clear, we're all third owners of this organization, that everything that we do gets broken out like that. No matter what it is. And sometimes that's difficult, right? When one partner brings in something and another partner brings in something, it doesn't matter. It all goes into the pot and we're all a third owners of the organization. 

It means we're co-creating. Co-creating doesn't mean you're going to tell me what I'm going to do because you're the lead on this gig. It's like, no, we're going to sit down and we're going to work out what this means for all of us. So I think that's incredibly challenging and makes it harder to move things quickly. But I think it's worth the time, because if you can get great deals for everyone, then everybody’s doing well. 

That's the way this market should be. Everybody should be able to do well. There are billions of dollars at stake and we're not just talking about retail, we're talking about the entire industry: cannabis tourism, micro licenses, the ancillary businesses, the 60,000 jobs it's creating. I mean, this is a huge industry, and this is only like chapter one of the Grapes of Wrath here.

High Herstory: With the importance of social media and business development, what are the key elements of a successful social media strategy that you advocate for?

Kassia Graham: This last week, I cannot tell you how many accounts with huge followings have just been permanently banned from meta platforms. It sucks to have to play the game and to play by their rules. I don't agree with their rules at all, but it is their platform. A lot of it has to do with the government basically putting these restrictions on people. Even if it's legal in your state, even if it's legal in the majority of the States in the United States. How you market yourself in space is important. That means that you're gonna have to go above and beyond with regards to using playful cannabis-related words. You are going to actually have to think and act and create content that people are going to gravitate towards. In order to create that content, that means that you need to know your audience. A lot of people don't know their audience. It takes time to figure out who is going to be interested in purchasing your products or who is going to come into your dispensary to purchase anything. The person who follows you on social media is not always the person who is going to be your client in the dispensary. And you have to figure out how to cater towards both of those people. And while the person who may like you on social media may not be the person buying from you in the dispensary, though sometimes they're one and the same, if you create content that is appealing, and not stagnant. 

Quite often people end up being shadow-banned or it's just hard to find cannabis accounts for all sorts of random reasons. Consistency is absolutely key. Now, that doesn't mean you have to post every single day, but if you're going to post If you say you're going to post three times a week, post three times a week. If you say that you are going to interact with people X amount of times out of the week, continue doing that. Where is it that you can stand out? Some great examples: Session Goods is popular on Cleaning Tok. Chill Steel Pipes, I love all of their user-generated content. I actually just saw them do one with a bunch of Stanley Cups in the background, and they pull the Stanley Cup to the side, and the Chill comes out. It’s perfect because the color is right and everything just fit in. And I feel that appeals to a certain audience that they're trying to pull in. Whether you're on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, et cetera, all of those places can kick you off whenever it is that they feel like it. So having a robust newsletter is very important.

High Herstory: Can you tell us about your upcoming events and how people can get involved?

High Exposure is redefining what it means to be a leader in the cannabis industry by prioritizing collaboration, community engagement, and unwavering advocacy. In an industry often characterized by instability, fierce competition and rapid expansion, High Exposure is choosing a different path—one that values partnership over rivalry, and community impact over mere profit margins. Their innovative approach serves as a blueprint for how cannabis businesses can thrive through cooperative efforts rather than cutthroat tactics.

By fostering strong, mutually beneficial relationships with local businesses, policymakers, and community organizations, High Exposure demonstrates that the true strength of a business lies in its ability to lift others up. They have embraced the idea that success is not a zero-sum game but rather a collective endeavor where everyone can benefit. This philosophy is particularly relevant in a sector like cannabis, where collaboration can drive sustainable growth, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance social equity.

Recent research from the Harvard Business Review supports this approach, revealing that organizations which prioritize collaboration over competition are more likely to achieve long-term success. High Exposure embodies this insight, creating an inclusive environment that encourages sharing resources, knowledge, and opportunities. They understand that by working together, businesses can not only enhance their own success but also contribute to a more equitable and just industry.

High Exposure’s commitment to these principles sets a new standard for what it means to be successful in the cannabis world, proving that businesses that prioritize people and partnerships are not only more resilient but also better positioned to navigate the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving market.

Dry and scent-free weed: Why is it important?

Cannabis that is not properly stored can become stale and dry. This can cause your herb to lose some of its potency over time. Keeping your cannabis fresh and dry can help to preserve its potency; the longer your cannabis sits around, the more its potency will decrease. Cannabis that is kept in a dry environment will stay fresh longer than cannabis that is kept moist. Additionally, cannabis that is kept dry will be less likely to develop mold, which can make your weed go stale faster.

What to look for when choosing a smell-proof storage container

All cannabis storage containers are not created equal. When shopping for a new smell-proof storage container, make sure to keep these features in mind: Weight - Are you going to be carrying the container a lot? If so, it’s important to find a container that is lightweight. Ease of Use - Can you open and close the container easily? Keep in mind that smell-proof containers are often made with extra features that may make it more challenging to open. Level of Protection - How much protection does the container offer against water, UV rays, pests, and other elements? The more protection provided, the more expensive the container will be. Capacity - How much cannabis will you be storing in the container? If you plan on storing more than an ounce, you’ll want to make sure the container is large enough to accommodate your stash.

Best Smell Proof Storage Containers of 2024

Here are our choices for the best proof containers for your cannabis:

1. The Best Overall: LOCKGREEN OG StashBox - A Travel Friendly Secure Stashbox with a Lock

We recently tried a stash box that exceeded our expectations for keeping cannabis smell-proof and secure. The brand is called LOCKGREEN and they are a family-owned business on a mission to help prevent cannabis law violations by educating the community on cannabis laws and by providing locking stash boxes to use when storing and traveling in your car with cannabis.

If you’ve also been searching for a box that won’t smell up your house or car and is easily transportable, look no further than LOCKGREEN. This is an ideal box to keep kids, pets, and other unwanted guests out of your weed.

How secure is this container you might ask? LOCKGREEN stash boxes have a built-in combination lock and also meet and exceed many states’ requirements for cannabis storage and vehicle travel.  This includes taking measures to prevent unauthorized access to children, so making sure your weed is kept in “child-resistant” packaging is so important!

Since many states require that consumers take precautions with their cannabis, storing your cannabis in a smell-proof container is more than just a novelty. Traveling with cannabis in a sealed or locked container like a LOCKGREEN stash box can give you peace of mind to know that you are compliant with your state requirements to avoid cannabis law violations.

We also appreciate that the stash box has customizable storage features, and can be purchased with matching accessories such as Pick and Pull Foam Inserts that you can create custom shapes in to fit around and protect your delicate items, their Black Glass Screw-Top Jars that block harmful light and keep your flower fresh longer and humidity regulator packs that maintain an ideal 62% humidity level in any sealed container for your herbs and flower.

Here’s our review after trying it:

“LOCKGREEN is so portable, and the combination lock makes me feel very responsible and grown up, all while keeping things tidy and scent free! I will be keeping all my stash stuff in here even when I’m not traveling. It’s super easy to set your own combination code. It was very simple to put in my code, open the latch that unleash the lock.

I like that it fits so much and is really helpful for people who love to keep everything organized and right where they can see it. Seriously so utilitarian when you have tons of products like me lol. The foam inserts allow you to customize the box to store items so they don’t move.  Organize all of your items - Vapes, lighters, grinder, green, pre-rolls edibles it all fits!” 

- @ Nettyflowers, co-founder of High Herstory

We tried their best-selling large LOCKGREEN OG Stash Box, which at $69, is a pretty great deal for a smell-proof and water-resistant stash box WITH a built-in combination lock that provides the protection needed to safely store and travel with your goods with a discrete and classic style. 

They also sell a smaller case, the small LOCKGREEN OG Stash Box for $59, that is compact enough to fit in smaller spaces for easy travel.

3. The Best Stashbox for Hiking: StashLogix Durango Fanny Pack

The Stashlogix Durango is a fanny pack/shoulder sling perfect for outdoor activities, concerts, and bringing that secret joy of knowing you have weed in your bag to your everyday life. The bag has internal mesh dividers to keep things neat, a programmable combination lock, and Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF) fabric that absorbs odors fast. We will say, that users report you can still smell the weed if you are putting your nose really close to the bag, but that’s being picky.

The bag is waterproof so you won’t have to worry about your greens getting drenched in a sudden downpour. It also has a tool pocket with metal poker tool so there’s less likelihood you’ll use that old coffee straw in your car to scrap out your bowl and then accidentally drink it later.

There’s also a hidden back pocket for your most secret stash.

StashLogix Durango Bag 

$55

We’ve tried other StashLogix products that were perfect for a camping trip and very durable.

Here’s what users are saying after trying the Dorengo:

“Easily one of the best stash bags. stores my grinder, pipe, wraps, bud, and lighters. great amount of room. I love the lock on it, works very well. Smell CAN slip out a little bit, but only if held up to the nose. so long as the bag is clean there’s pretty much no smell. Definitely recommend for the price.”

This is a great EDC bag, it’s got enough room for my wallet, phone, charge cord, everyday necessities and most importantly my pre-rolls. I can take this bag in to work with me and not have to worry about the odor and the zipper lock makes sure no one can snoop when I’m not around.”

The Dorango is $55 and comes with an adjustable strap.

Who is this product for:

• Outdoor enthusiasts, adventure seekers, or just the casual hiker who wants to enjoy cannabis in nature

• Those looking for a great everyday use bag that doubles as a portable stash box

• Anyone looking to keep their weed safe from kids and pets

4. The Best Smell-Proof Container That’s Also a Grinder: Hemper The Keeper 3-IN-1 Grinder Storage Container

The Keeper features an impressive array of features and compartments for a product so small. This portable little device offers a way to keep your herb, grinder, and grounds with you on the go. This cute little tube features 2 storage compartments for keeping flower and ground material separate and a built-in removable grinder with sharp, durable teeth for a fluffy grind. We love a fluffy grind!

It comes with a clip so you can keep it on your bag, or use it as a keychain. Just be careful not to fly with it…

It’s supposed to be smell proof, airtight, and water-resistant. The grinder has precision cutting teeth, a separate place for both your ground material storage and flower storage and a flexible tether so you won’t lose it.

It comes in many colors but our favorite is the glow pink!

Hemper The Keeper 3-IN-1 Grinder Storage Container

$14.99

Here’s what users are saying after trying it:

“Simple design. works well. Wish the bottom was heavier so it stood up better.”

“Overall though I’m happy with this storage/grinder. It’s holds 7gs in the bottom container and it also holds about 2gs of grinded herb on the top container. I love it!!!”

“As soon as it arrived, I had to test out the grinder. Thumbs up for the ability to obliterate a big bud in just a couple of twists. Very pleased so far. Next, to venture out and take in all that was ground.”

Who is this product for:

• Anyone seeking a multi-functional product that will save space

• Those looking to enjoy cannabis on the go

6. The Best Luxury StashBox: Apothecarry Travel Case in White

The Apothecarry Travel Case is a full herb (and tobacco, if you’re into cigars) organizational system designed to keep your products fresh, arranged and secure. It's a technologically advanced case from a company that wants to redefine the modern smoking experience with goods that are discreet, practical, and offer the luxury and class that the proud modern smoker demands.

The case is strong, durable, odor resistant (and obviously beautiful!). Made of Alderwood, each individual case is carefully crafted and stained one at a time, making every case visually unique. The Apothecarry case uses a Boveda humidity system to keep the trichomes from drying out. This ensures that you don’t run the risk of mold-growth and keep the trichomes sticky enough to preserve the quality, yet dry enough to preserve a nice bun. Regular humidors won’t do the trick, as the propylene glycol systems, they use often lead to an over-moist moldy product. Just choose the Boveda humidity level that’s ideal for your product.

As for the included tools, it comes with a 3-chamber grinder made of zinc alloy, allowing for quick, even and easy grinding, plus an additional food-grade silicone dab jar and a Stainless Steel Dab Stick.

We think this gorgeous case would make a great gift!

“Gift was a big hit! I did not see the Apothecarry case myself as it was a gift however based on the thanks I received my gift was a big hit so I am very happy I chose this item.”

***There were a couple of reviews left by customers that their locks had broken and the company wasn’t as helpful as they could be to fix it so make sure to consider that if you’re interested in this case.***

• Anyone looking for a unique gift

• Aesthetically minded consumers

• Those who are organizationally inclined

After experimenting by dropping the bag (with my pipe in it) from various heights I can say that the padding is effective and items aren't prone to working loose.

“My boyfriend loves this!! Best gift ever. Fits everything perfect and snug (even has straps on the outside to tighten things up). Lots of padding, has a removable round pad and a multiple accessory padded board that velcros right into side of bag or wherever you see best fit.

When storing weed in a glass container that is airtight and able to prevent any odor from escaping, you can expect your weed to remain potent for approximately 6 months to 1 year. However, it's important to note that after a year, studies suggest that the THC content within the bud may decrease by around 16%. To maintain the highest level of potency, it is advisable to purchase only the amount of weed that you anticipate using within a 6-month period. While some claim that weed can last longer than a year in these conditions, it's generally recommended not to exceed this timeframe for optimal freshness. If you are seeking an ultra-potent experience, you may want to explore specialized smell-proof containers specifically designed for storing weed.

Are Mason Jars Smell-Proof for Weed?

Mason jars are a viable option for preserving your weed and maintaining its scent containment. These handy and versatile jars provide an excellent seal, ensuring that even the most potent strains won't leak their aroma. The airtight, glass construction of Mason jars effectively locks in the smell, making them a reliable choice for storing your cannabis. To further enhance the preservation process, you can consider adding a humidity pack to the jar. This will help maintain the moisture of your buds, ensuring they stay fresh for longer periods. However, it is worth noting that while Mason jars offer benefits in terms of smell-proofing, there are some drawbacks to consider. One drawback is that Mason jars are transparent, allowing anyone who sees them to know what's inside. If discretion is a concern for you, there are alternative options available. Containers made of darker, tinted glass provide both privacy and protection from harmful UV light. UV light can degrade the THC content and potency of your cannabis, so using tinted containers can help to mitigate this issue. Therefore, while Mason jars are effective at containing odors, if you prioritize discretion and protecting your marijuana from UV light, you may want to opt for a darker-tinted weed container.

Conclusion

Keep your stash fresh and your cannabis potent by storing it in a smell-proof container. These containers will help you prevent your cannabis from drying out, and can keep it fresh for as long as a year. Once you discover the benefits of using smell-proof containers, you’ll never want to go back to old-fashioned storing methods. These containers make it harder for light to reach your cannabis, which can help prevent it from drying out. Keeping your cannabis away from light can also prevent it from becoming stale and less potent over time. If you love cannabis but hate the smell, you probably know how important smell-proof storage is when it comes to keeping your stash secure and fresh. If you’ve been storing your weed in a plastic bag or another type of non-odorproof container, it’s time to upgrade your storage game so that your herb stays hidden and its natural delicious aroma remains locked away.

Reviewers are saying, “It works better than anything else I've used to clean my pieces. It's strong, fast and effective...it also smells nice.” and “A little goes a very long way making the bong and pieces super easy and fast to clean. Best stuff I've ever used.”

5 Questions with the Founders of Upstate Mary: Melissa Eppard and Michelle Bergkamp

Founded by the dynamic duo Melissa Eppard and Michelle Bergkamp, Upstate Mary not only champions high-quality products but also fosters conversations around female wellness and intimacy. In this exclusive interview, we delve into the vision and motivations behind Upstate Mary, exploring how these trailblazing women are reshaping the landscape of CBD and hemp-derived wellness products. Join us as we pose five thought-provoking questions to Melissa and Michelle, uncovering their journey and the powerful message they’re sharing.

---

High Herstory: Both of you have faced significant challenges related to sexual health, from breast cancer to PCOS. How have these experiences shaped your vision for Upstate Mary and the products you create?

Melissa Eppard: For the past decade, in my work coaching and mentoring individuals diagnosed with cancer, I’ve encountered countless women who have faced sexual dysfunction due to surgery, treatment, and hormonal changes. While I could provide emotional support and tools to help manage stress and rebuild body confidence, there remained an underlying issue—physical discomfort and lack of arousal—something I personally struggled with as well. One conversation stands out with a young survivor in her early 30’s who said, “I guess I’m just not going to be sexual anymore.” It was both heartbreaking and unacceptable to me. Sexual health is vital to overall emotional and mental well-being. Discovering the benefits of CBD-infused lubricants was truly a breakthrough moment. These products are designed with comfort, connection, confidence, and community in mind, offering a holistic approach to sexual wellness.

HH: Why do you believe it’s important to foster open dialogue about issues like low libido and vaginal dryness? How does Upstate Mary aim to normalize these conversations?

Melissa Eppard: I believe women are naturally good communicators, yet for generations, many of us have inherited a deep sense of shame about our bodies. While the body positivity movement is finally gaining momentum, topics like sexual dysfunction, menstruation, and menopause still carry a heavy stigma. Cultural and religious barriers often add to this, and I want to recognize the privilege it is to even be able to have this conversation. How can we support one another and address these challenges when we’re so often isolated, silenced, or don’t even have the right language to talk about our own bodies and experiences? We shouldn’t have to suffer in silence, and that’s where Upstate Mary comes in. Our mission is to be a source of community and support for women dealing with sexual discomfort and low libido. Through our blog, events, and social media, we’re creating a space for open dialogue and helping to normalize the conversation around these important, yet often overlooked, topics.

HH: Can you walk us through your process for developing products that specifically address discomfort and pain in women’s health? What unique insights do your personal experiences bring to this process?

Michelle Bergkamp: Developing products that address discomfort and pain in women’s health is both a professional and deeply personal journey for me. My own experiences, especially after childbirth and dealing with bladder prolapse, really shaped the way I approached the formulation of these products. I’ve faced the challenges of painful sex and physical discomfort, so I knew firsthand the need to create something that wasn’t just about enhancing pleasure, but also providing relief and healing.

Michelle Bergkamp (con’t.): We started this process by testing every CBD topical and lubricant we could get our hands on. Melissa and I made it a point to take detailed notes separately, recording our thoughts on texture, effectiveness, and overall experience, before coming together to compare results. From the outset, we were clear about our goals: to create products that would meet our uncompromising standards—clean, organic, and free from any ingredients that we couldn’t easily recognize or pronounce. Full spectrum CBD has incredible anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, which I found to be a game-changer in helping with pain relief, especially in intimate situations. Beyond CBD, we carefully selected botanicals that could help increase circulation, promote healing, and reduce discomfort during sex.  Our vision for the Farm to Bedroom™ collection was rooted in delivering the perfect balance of glide and moisture. The products couldn’t absorb too quickly, nor could they leave behind an unpleasant residue. They needed to feel luxurious while also smelling and tasting yummy. We wanted our botanical blend to work in harmony with the full spectrum CBD to increase blood flow and sexual stimulation for a heightened experience.

The formulation process wasn’t a one-and-done affair. We went through multiple rounds of testing, fine-tuning each batch with the help of our partners and other testers. Our year of R&D involved a lot of testing with our partners to find the formula that hit the mark. And let’s be real—it was a lot of fun! Luckily, our husbands were more than willing to be test subjects during this critical development phase, and we think they were pretty lucky too!

HH: How does Upstate Mary engage with and support women navigating similar sexual health challenges? Are there any specific initiatives or resources you’re proud to offer?

Melissa Eppard: As a survivorship coach, I’ve led workshops and hosted numerous support groups over the years, helping women navigate the challenges of life after cancer. Upstate Mary grew out of that work, allowing us to give back by supporting various causes annually. We donate product samples to breast cancer retreats and women-led initiatives, providing educational materials about our offerings. At pop-up events and markets, we spark meaningful conversations about menopause, sexual dysfunction, women’s health and the therapeutic benefits of full spectrum CBD. We also host events, give interviews, speak on podcasts—basically, we’re passionate about talking to anyone willing to engage on these topics! Upstate Mary proudly donates a portion of every sale to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, helping to further our mission of support and empowerment.

HH: Looking ahead, what changes do you hope to see in the conversation around women’s sexual health, and how does Upstate Mary plan to lead or contribute to that change?

Michelle Bergkamp: I’m incredibly hopeful for my daughter’s generation. It feels like we’re in the midst of a significant shift toward normalizing conversations about women’s health issues, and I truly hope that momentum continues. We want Upstate Mary to play a big role in driving that change. Social media has opened the door to discussions that transcend geographical and cultural barriers, making it easier for women to share their stories and resources. 

Michelle Bergkamp (con’t.): However, talking about sex and sexual health on social media can be incredibly challenging due to censorship and the risk of shadowbanning. While these platforms offer a powerful way to connect, educate, and foster community, their algorithms often flag or suppress content related to sexual wellness and cannabis + hemp, even when it’s educational or health-focused. This creates significant limitations for companies like ours, which are trying to have open, honest conversations about topics like sexual dysfunction, pleasure, menopause and the benefits of hemp and cannabis for intimacy.

Shadowbanning means that social media content, despite not violating any clear guidelines, might not show up in followers’ feeds or in search results. This makes it difficult to reach the audiences who would benefit most from these conversations and products like ours. It’s frustrating because it forces us to navigate a fine line between promoting sexual health and avoiding words or imagery that could be misinterpreted by automated systems.

To overcome these challenges, many people (including us) are getting more creative with their messaging. We focus on finding ways to discuss these issues indirectly, using softer language or coding certain terms, but it often feels like we’re all walking on eggshells. Upstate Mary is also committed to building our community off-platform—through blogs, newsletters, and live events—so we can have the real, open conversations that social media might restrict.

Ultimately, it’s important to continue pushing back against these barriers, advocating for sex-positive, shame-free conversations about wellness in every space, including social media. All that said, I’m cautiously optimistic. By openly discussing the real challenges we’re facing and the solutions helping us overcome them, we can create a path for future generations to access this knowledge and find the support they need more easily.

Upstate Mary is currently available online and in select dispensaries. Click here to find out more.

5 Questions with Angela Pih, Global Chief Marketing Officer at CCELL

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Angela Pih, the dynamic Global Chief Marketing Officer of CCELL, at Hall of Flowers in Santa Rosa. From the moment we met, we were immediately struck by her genuine warmth and strong sense of community. Even as we stepped outside to chat, Angela was greeted by friends and colleagues, with her CCELL teammates noting, "Angela knows everyone."

Angela’s passion for building brands that not only fulfill their promises but also deeply resonate with consumers was truly inspiring. CCELL’s commitment to fostering community within the cannabis industry shines through in their support of key events like the Sonoma Hills Culinary Experience at Hall of Flowers—which Angela graciously invited us to attend (and yes, it was as delicious as it sounds)—as well as their presence at the Sonoma County Fair, San Francisco Hash Week and the Emerald Cup.

Angela’s wisdom and insight serve as a guiding force for professionals in the cannabis space, making her a true leader in this rapidly evolving industry.

High Herstory: With your extensive experience across cannabis, fashion, beauty, and wellness, how do you see the cannabis industry evolving in terms of branding and consumer engagement, especially for lifestyle-focused products?

Angela Pih: There’s a lot of branding within the cannabis industry, but not a lot of brands. A brand is a promise. A brand has a following. A brand has resonance with its loyal consumers and advocates. I think that in the cannabis industry, because it's still so nascent, we have a lot of very sophisticated branding, and we have some very beautiful packaging, but that's not a brand.

Angela Pih (con’t.): What I do, and what the team over at CCELL is trying to do, is really to create that brand by advocating for this promise of what this community can be and then really powering that. Cannabis is still a movement, and it’s going to be a movement for another decade.

So, your promise can be what it means to you, what resonates for you as a consumer, and the promise that it’s going to do what it says it's going to do. It’s going to work. So, there’s a functional as well as an emotional promise that you’re delivering on.

High Herstory: At CCELL, you oversee brand growth and community development in the U.S. market. What specific strategies have you implemented to help CCELL stand out in the competitive cannabis vaporization space?

Angela Pih: I think you’ll see the velocity of what we've been doing in terms of being embraced by the cannabis community over the course of the last five to six months, starting from SF Hashweek, which we sponsored, as well as supporting the California State Fair Cannabis Awards.

We also supported the Emerald Cup and provided batteries for the vape judges. It was the first time in the 20-year history of the Emerald Cup that judges used the same battery to evaluate all the submissions. So, it created that standard to be able to test and evaluate the best of the best. Then, here at Hall of Flowers, which is not just from a B2B standpoint, today we're going to have 5,000 attendees from the general public come in to experience the industry, enjoy themselves, and have a lot of fun.

Then, in terms of our work with brands, think about a brand like Jetty, which has been a longtime customer of CCELL. Airo has also been a long-time customer, and we've built all of their tech from their battery to their pods.

We're about to kick off a performance marketing campaign for Airo across the Leafly platform that's going to have full attribution to conversion. I really believe in omni-channel campaigns. Having come from brands, being able to develop omni-channel campaigns for a B2B customer is key. As a technology brand, CCELL is helping support the investment of that advertising through the entire model: starting from search, going into sponsored content and emails through the Leafly platform, and in-app notifications, all the way down to the POS level to show conversion and attribution.

We're supporting that for 60 days across a dozen states across the U.S. No ancillary brand has ever done that before.

I love doing three things: I love doing things that haven’t been done before, I love building brands, and I love building teams.

High Herstory: Your success at CannaCraft saw the launch of GEM + JANE, a cannabis-infused beverage brand aimed at women. How do you approach creating products that resonate with specific demographics, and how has that shaped your overall marketing philosophy?

Angela Pih: So, you just met Elise McDonough when we were walking here. She was a brand manager when I was working at CannaCraft. We collaborated strongly and created GEM + JANE together from concept. I got to name it, create the look and feel, and really hone in on this created-for-women-by-women infused beverage brand, which we launched in five distinct flavors.

We kept it within a very tight demographic because we understood that we were going to go niche. We weren't going to be everything to everybody. We were going to seriously target women who are looking to switch it up—those looking for sessionable, low-dose, infused beverages for a great Sunday brunch, a girls' night in, or to relax at the end of the day.

Based on what we understood about that consumer demographic, we created a product and a brand that was going to resonate with them. We had amazing flavors like yuzu raspberry rose, elderflower hibiscus, and also just a seltzer water that’s non-flavored, so you could use it for mixing.

We also had three out of the five SKUs that were THCV before THCV was really big because you want to be alert. You want to have functional benefits from cannabis. I think a lot of that came through the work I was doing both at Care By Design at CannaCraft and my early days at Papa & Barkley, looking at minor cannabinoids as a way of consuming cannabis for functional daytime use.

We’re not just a nighttime wind-down-your-day type of industry. Let’s look at how cannabis can help you be more effective, more focused, and more energetic. We do know that pain, anxiety, and sleep are the top three reasons why consumers look to cannabis for wellness or recreation. We have so many minor cannabinoids that we can leverage.

High Herstory: What do you think is missing in cannabis marketing in the current landscape?

Angela Pih: I think brands within cannabis try to be everything to everybody. People are like, "Well, it's weed. Everybody wants weed.” And that’s yes and no. You have to find your people.

There’s this brand that I really love called Fishwhistle. In terms of how targeted they are with their community and narrative, they understand their behaviors. I feel that brands that are able to find their core consumer and who they resonate with will become more successful over time. As consumers, we buy a whole lot of different things, and you instantly recognize whether something is for you or not—and then you just filter out the noise.

That’s not my brand. That’s not for me. That doesn’t resonate with me.

High Herstory: As someone who thrives in high-growth companies, what lessons from your journey would you share with professionals looking to enter the cannabis industry?

Angela Pih: Surround yourself with people who are really passionate about what they do and are really good at it. I would say that's the secret sauce. We work 16-hour days, and if you don’t love it, don’t believe in it, and aren’t good at it, it’s really going to suck.

I have a no-nonsense policy. I don't care how talented you are. If you're not a good person, we can't work together. I can teach you many things to be better at your job and to be effective, but I can’t teach you to be a good person. That’s something you have to bring to the team. It’s a bad situation when you have a bad apple, and if you continue to allow that person to poison the well, you’re enabling bad behavior that affects your entire team.

This is a purpose-driven industry. We're not making tech-level money. So, if you don’t believe in it, it's going to be really hard to keep pushing every single day. This is a 100% relationship industry, and that means you have to put yourself out there. You have to build your friendships, your alliances, and find the people who support you and help you through tough days. Find your people—those who can help support you and make you feel better—because it’s not for the faint of heart.

You really need to work three to four times harder, and I think that’s even more true for women. We’re constantly proving ourselves and showing that we deserve the positions we’re in.

I feel like it's part of our responsibility—because I’m privileged to be at a certain level of seniority within my company and have access within the cannabis industry—to embrace and bring other people in and create connections.

I don’t actually see myself in competition, even with brands that see themselves as head-to-head competitors to CCELL. I talk to my friends who work at iSpire. We’re still in this one community. We’re still growing, still small, and there’s a long way to go. We’re in the second inning of this game.

Since you’re in New York, you probably know Lulu Tsui of On The Revel. She’s like my sister, and she has that kind of energy: We’re all in this together. If you want to be a part of it, just jump in. There’s space for you, and I feel that we all need to do that and create opportunities for other women.

One thing I really want to add: As women in business, and in cannabis, it’s important to know your worth.

A New Era: High Herstory's Experience at Hall of Flowers 2024

As founders of High Herstory, we had the incredible opportunity to cover Hall of Flowers 2024, and what an experience it was! This year, the event evolved into a vibrant festival that brought together the cannabis community like never before, turning the cannabis scene into a full-blown celebration of community and creativity. Hall of Flowers has always been California's go-to cannabis trade show, but 2024 took it up a notch (or three!). Saturday was the first time the event was open to the public. The air felt electric as thousands of cannabis enthusiasts poured in, ready to explore, sample, and connect with their favorite brands. The energy was contagious!

We loved wandering through the bustling fairgrounds, soaking in the excitement as passionate consumers mingled with exhibitors. The direct-to-consumer sales model created an intimate vibe, allowing us to meet both familiar faces and fresh new brands. It was a beautiful reminder of how powerful community can be in this ever-evolving industry and how important it is to connect with your fellow cannabis enthusiasts.

Breaking Records and Celebrating Culture

One of the most unforgettable moments? OCB smashing the world record for the most joints rolled simultaneously! Talk about a joint effort! The festival really brought out the community and got them to participate! We loved that OCB papers were plentiful at the event and we learned so much about the quality and craftsmanship that these papers have been bringing to the smoking community for over 100 years!

Sonoma Hills Farms: A Highly Culinary Delight

Speaking of deliciousness, we were blown away by the incredible dining experience from Sonoma Hills Farm. With their premium craft cannabis and organic culinary garden, they treated us to a farm-to-table feast that was nothing short of magical. Each bite was a celebration of flavor and sustainability—definitely a highlight! We loved that this festival had everything covered. Food, beverages, ample space and an amazing crowd.

Fun and Festivities Galore

The fun didn’t stop there! The festival was bursting with games, rides, and a DJ spinning tracks that kept everyone dancing. We couldn’t resist hopping on carnival rides and trying our luck at games while soaking up the lively atmosphere. Artists showcased their talents throughout the venue, adding an extra splash of creativity to our day.

Insightful Conversations

Of course, it wasn’t all just fun and games! The Core Conversations series offered us nuggets of wisdom from industry leaders. We were inspired by discussions on equity, sustainability, and innovation in cannabis. These thought-provoking talks sparked ideas about how we can contribute to this dynamic landscape through High Herstory.

It was such a treat to talk to Angela Pih, Global CMO of CCell. Read our interview with her here!

A Vision for the Future

Hall of Flowers 2024 was more than just an event; it was a jubilant celebration of what happens when we come together as a community. As we look ahead to future adventures, we’re pumped about continuing to build connections that empower entrepreneurs and elevate voices in this vibrant industry. This year that felt especially prominent in the curation of brands that were present at the event. We learned about a lot of new brands and saw some of our favorites as well. Overall, we highly recommend attending if you are a cannabis industry professional or even just a lover of the plant.

We were so honored to be included in Hall of Flower’s Wall of Women!

Reflecting on our experience at Hall of Flowers, we’re reminded that this is just the beginning. With each passing year, we see endless opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation within cannabis culture. We can’t wait for what’s next—let’s keep this party rolling!

Mary & Jane: Meet the Microdose Melt Revolution in Cannabis Edibles

Just a little heads-up: some links on this page are affiliate links, which means that if you click on them and make a purchase, we might earn a little something-something at no extra cost to you. Rest assured, we only recommend products we truly believe in—because your good vibes are our top priority.

Mary & Jane was created for people who want the functional benefits of the cannabis plant without the fear of taking too much. Enter their microdose edible melts aptly named “Sunny” which boast a precise 1mg of THC. It's like a finely tuned dose of "just right," so you don’t have to call your therapist to talk about how high you got last weekend.

At High Herstory, we are always looking for a reliable and consistent experience when consuming the plant. It was eye opening to learn that the Mary & Jane co-founders, Laura Ross and Rachel Dillion, wanted to provide a precise and user-friendly alternative to the often unpredictable realm of edibles. Through countless personal experiments, the founders discovered that the missing piece of their cannabis journey was control—a critical element that would empower users to explore the plant’s potential safely. We were lucky enough to be gifted a box of Sunny to review and are excited to share our thoughts about the microdosed melts below.

Meet Sunny: Our new friend with benefits

Sunny melts are fast-acting edibles that allow for a tailored experience, enabling users to gradually discover their perfect dose. Gone are the days of post-edible regret; instead, say hello to thoughtful consumption that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Sunny arose from a happy accident during some DIY experimentation, resulting in a vibrant fusion of kanna and cannabis. The combination sparked an unexpected yet welcomed mood shift, transforming daily anxieties into a blissful, creative energy. Currently available in the flavor passion fruit, these melts are also vegan, sugar-free and gluten-free which I think is a very thoughtful touch.

At first I was excited to bring these melts to my next happy hour for a little bit of sparkle without the worry that I will end up in a corner wondering why my name has so many letters. We’ve all been there right? The addition of Kanna (nature’s happy plant) and rapid onset time is perfect to give your creativity a boost while also managing your dosage. My excitement turned to pure bliss when trying these melts. I really like to be mindful of my consumption and the way these edibles melt in your mouth reminds me of a mint and I really love that they are sugar free! I have taken my Sunny melts to happy hours where I don’t want to have alcohol and they really make me feel social and fun.

I like that Mary & Jane’s Sunny melts make it easier than ever to navigate the world of edibles without turning your evening into an episode of “Survivor: Edibles Edition”. They are so easy to throw in your purse and the low THC content means that I can use them in the day time and never be afraid of couch lock. I sometimes take one before working on this website and honestly it is the perfect amount for me to be productive and focused. I also like that I don’t have to worry too much about going overboard, it really alleviates some of the social anxiety I feel at times about edibles.

Mary & Jane are not just creating edibles; they’re nurturing a culture of informed, responsible consumption that invites everyone to discover the beauty of the cannabis plant—one microdose at a time. In a world full of complexities, Mary & Jane is here to keep it light, fun, and—most importantly—controlled. Get ready to discover the joys of microdosing, one delicious MG at a time.

5 Questions with KANHA’s CMO Angela Cheng at Hall of Flowers

KANHA has long been at the forefront of crafting some of the best edibles on the market. We have been long time fans of the brand, not only because of the quality of their delicious gummies (they have won countless awards for consistency and flavor) but because their products are engineered to fit into your lifestyle in specific ways. We love mindful consumption. KANHA edibles utilize nanomolecular technology for a quicker onset and higher absorption rate which means you know the garden gummies are working 5-15 minutes after taking them. Last month, we got to chat with their CMO, Angela Cheng about the release of KANHA Minis and their FX line at Hall of Flowers in Santa Rosa.

High Herstory: With the opening of your new manufacturing facility in Thailand, how do you see KANHA’s role evolving in both the domestic and global cannabis edibles market? What challenges and opportunities come with this international expansion?

The expansion into Thailand is a huge milestone for us. Thailand’s stance on cannabis for medical and wellness use gives us an exciting opportunity to bring KANHA to a brand-new market. Domestically, we’ve built a reputation for setting the bar high in the edibles space, and now we’re bringing that same level of quality and consistency to the global stage. The opportunity is to show the world what KANHA stands for—delivering the same trusted product no matter where you are.

HH: KANHA recently partnered with The Beach Koh Samui, Asia's first cannabis wellness spa. How do you envision cannabis-infused edibles playing a role in the wellness and spa industry, particularly in markets where cannabis is still emerging?

Wellness is a perfect match for KANHA, especially with our FX line, which is designed for targeted effects like sleep, energy, and relaxation. At The Beach Koh Samui, our cannabis edibles are adding a whole new dimension to the wellness experience, complementing traditional treatments in a natural and safe way. Guests can unwind, recharge, or find that extra energy boost through our products. In emerging markets, edibles can introduce consumers to cannabis in a more approachable way, aligning with the trend toward holistic health and wellness.

HH: KANHA FX and Minis represent new product categories focused on specific effects and different formats. What drove your decision to diversify the product line?

Innovation is at the core of everything we do. KANHA was the first brand to introduce nano technology in cannabis edibles, pioneering fast-acting effects in the space. Cannabis isn’t a one-size-fits-all product, and as consumer preferences evolve, we’ve pushed the boundaries by creating products that offer more personalized experiences. Our FX line—with minor cannabinoids like THCV, CBN, and CBG—represents the next wave of cannabis innovation, providing targeted effects like energy, relaxation, or sleep.

HH: How do you anticipate consumer preferences shifting in the cannabis edibles space?

The demand for convenience also inspired our Minis, hard-shell chocolate bites that are discreet, portable, and stackable. At 4mg each and 25 delicious bites per pack, it’s the product I use daily. As the market matures, we believe consumers will continue to seek out products that are not only tailored to their needs but also innovative in terms of delivery, convenience, and quality.

HH: Expanding into new markets like Illinois while maintaining profitability in a challenging industry is no small feat. What strategies have you implemented to ensure KANHA’s continued growth and profitability, even in the face of market fluctuations?

Expanding is always a balancing act—scaling up while maintaining quality is critical. Education is key to our strategy, especially in new markets, so consumers really understand the value of what we offer. We’re also optimizing our supply chain to stay nimble and efficient, which helps us keep costs down. Building strong relationships with retailers and budtenders has been another focus because they’re often the first point of contact for consumers. If they know our products inside and out, that translates to better sales and loyalty. Data is our guide, too—we’re using it to fine-tune our product mix and make smart distribution decisions.

KANHA products are available in dispensaries and for delivery across many states. You can find where KANHA edibles are available near you here.

1906 Microdose Edibles Review: The Future of Cannabis Wellness in a Plant Based Pill

1906: Elevating Wellness with Purposeful Plant Medicine in convenient pill form.

In the evolving landscape of cannabis wellness, few brands stand out with the precision and intention of 1906. Named after the year when the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed, effectively marking the beginning of cannabis prohibition, 1906 seeks to reclaim the lost legacy of this ancient plant. Their line of microdose pills—each tailored to specific needs like focus, energy, arousal, and relaxation—represents a modern resurgence of cannabis, intertwined with centuries-old plant medicine. This is not just a product; these edible pills are specifically designed to enhance the kind of experience you wish to have as the user. Another bonus, 1906 now ships their line to 40 states. We have been fans of the brand for a long time and wanted to share our honest opinions about the microdose THC and CBD edibles with our readers. You can also get 15% off using our special coupon code: HighHerstory on your first 1906 purchase.

Just a heads-up: Some links in this article are affiliate links, which means if you click and buy, I might earn a tiny commission—no extra cost to you, but it might just fund my next 1906 microdose adventure. Thanks for keeping the good vibes going!

Genius: Unlocking the Cognitive Cosmos

In a world that often pulls us in multiple directions at once, finding focus can feel like discovering a hidden treasure. 1906’s Genius is one of the best edibles we have ever tried when you need to get things done. This is not your ordinary edible. Instead, it’s a meticulously crafted blend of Rhodiola, Theobromine, Galangal, Bacopa, and L-Theanine, each chosen for their cognitive-enhancing properties, synergistically combined with cannabis.

When I tried 1906’s Genius, it felt to me like a gentle sharpening of the mind’s edges. The fog lifts, and thoughts become more streamlined, aiding in everything from deep work sessions to creative brainstorming. It gave me a feeling that was as intellectual as it was uplifting. Whether you’re writing, coding, or diving into a good book, Genius, for me, offered the kind of mental clarity that’s often elusive in our overstimulated world. We brought some to the Boston Public Library to help us cram for our upcoming influencer event and had a great experience.

Love: The Heartfelt Cannbis Edible for All

In the arena of intimacy, Love by 1906 stands out as a marvel. While the cannabis market has often overlooked the nuances of desire, Love seeks to change that narrative with a formula that is as thoughtful as it is effective. This isn’t just about heightening sensation; it’s about fostering connection—both with your body and with your partner.

A blend of Damiana, Ashwagandha, Theobromine, Muira Puama, and Catuaba works in harmony with cannabis to create a beautiful feeling, at least, that’s what it did for me. The result was a deeply immersive experience, where I was able to escape my mind’s chatter and fully inhabit myself. 1906’s Love is a celebration of sensuality in its most natural form, a high that transcends gender and embraces the full spectrum of human connection.

Boost: A Pure, Potent Kick

Sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Boost, the most straightforward offering in the 1906 lineup, is a testament to that philosophy. Free from additional plant medicines, Boost is designed to do one thing exceptionally well: elevate your mood and energy levels with a clean, quick, and healthy hit of THC. I brought these pills to my wedding because as a bride who loves all things cannabis, I wanted the effects with as much discretion as possible. These tiny pills kept me sane on my big day, and were the perfect microdose that kept me happy and vibing for my whole wedding.

Boost is the versatile companion that fits seamlessly into any part of your day. Whether you’re looking for a midday pick-me-up or an enhancement to another 1906 experience, Boost delivers a reliable, microdosed high in just 20 minutes. It’s the essence of cannabis, distilled into its purest form—a straightforward invitation to feel good, anytime. We highly recommend.

Go: The All-Natural Energy Surge

For those who crave vitality without the crash, Go is a revelation. This isn’t just another energy supplement; it’s a carefully balanced blend designed to fuel both body and mind. By combining caffeine with cannabis and plant medicines like L-Theanine, Galangal, and Theobromine, Go offers a sustainable lift that feels as natural as it is invigorating.

Unlike typical energy boosters that spike your adrenaline only to leave you depleted, Go provides a steady, sustained surge that keeps you moving forward. Whether you’re powering through a workout, tackling a long day at work, or simply need a boost to keep up with life’s demands, Go gave me the energy to do it all, without the usual burnout.

Chill: The Art of Relaxation

In a world that never stops, Chill is the sanctuary many of us need. This pill is more than just a means to unwind; it’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and let go. The combination of cannabis with calming botanicals like L-Theanine and Magnolia creates a mellow experience that soothes both mind and body. I love that these for the end of a long day and the cute tin they come in make them so easy to keep in your purse for overnight events.

Chill is a reminder that relaxation is an essential part of the human experience—a necessary counterbalance to our often hectic lives.

1906 isn’t just redefining cannabis; it’s redefining wellness.

By merging the ancient wisdom of plant medicine with the modern science of cannabis, 1906 has created a line of products that offer more than just a high—they offer a way to live better. Each pill is a story, a journey into a different facet of the human experience, crafted with care and intention.

In a world where cannabis is increasingly recognized for its therapeutic potential, 1906 stands out as a brand that honors the past while looking boldly to the future. It’s not just about getting high; it’s about getting better—mind, body, and soul. And in that journey, 1906 is leading the way, one microdose at a time.

5 Questions with Ernst Rustenhoven, CEO of ILGM

High Herstory had the opportunity to meet Ernst Rustenhoven, CEO of I Love Growing Marijuana (ILGM), at Hall of Flowers. Since its founding in 2012, ILGM has emerged as a leading cannabis seed bank, known for its extensive range of premium seeds and commitment to educating growers at all levels.

In this Q&A, Rustenhoven shares insights into the origins of ILGM, highlights some of their most unique strain offerings, and discusses how the company adapts to the ever-evolving cannabis regulatory landscape. He also elaborates on the importance of feminized seeds and the motivation behind ILGM's comprehensive grow guides. Whether you're a novice or an experienced cultivator, ILGM provides valuable perspectives on cultivating cannabis with confidence and creativity.

High Herstory: How was ILGM founded?

Ernst Rustenhoven: ILGM was founded in 2012 by a cannabis cultivation enthusiast. We offer a diverse selection of premium seeds, along with exceptional customer support and educational resources, to empower growers at all levels to cultivate with confidence. 

High Herstory: What are the most unique strain seeds that ILGM sells?

Ernst Rustenhoven: ILGM recently launched a limited-edition collaboration with Green Bodhi, a boutique breeder known for integrating ancient wisdom with modern organic practices to sustainably produce potent genetics. The partnership featured three unique strains:

Hazy Girl Strain

Reminiscent of freshly baked pastries, Hazy Girl exudes a sweet scent followed by skunky undertones that provide calming effects to help ease the mind after a long day.

Mystery Haze Strain

Powerful and potent, Mystery Haze features candy-like notes intertwined with a hint of hazy undertones to produce peaceful and uplifting effects that keep you content day or night. 

Golden Pineapple Strain

Ferociously fruity with a hint of spice, Golden Pineapple offers energizing effects, making it ideal for daytime consumption. 

In general, we aim to regularly provide our customers with new strain varieties, sometimes in limited seed drops. We ensure that we stay on top of the trends, delivering the strains the cannabis community is looking for right now. We however also want to ensure that our customers with a particular taste, or who are eager to explore, are being serviced at ILGM. We collaborate with selected breeders to bring unique strain drops that provide exactly that.

High Herstory: How does ILGM navigate the constantly changing regulations in the cannabis space?

Ernst Rustenhoven: At ILGM, we grow with the changing regulations. For example, when New York legalized home grow, we offered 420 people in NY $100 worth of free cannabis seeds if they signed up to our newsletter. It was a fun way to help cannabis lovers get access to premium seeds to start their home grow journey.

High Herstory: What do you wish people would understand about feminized seeds?

Ernst Rustenhoven: Feminized seeds provide a more dynamic growing experience compared to autoflower seeds. These plants can become as successful as you make them, and it’s extra rewarding when you do it right. For those who want to read more about the different types of seeds available, including feminized seeds, we recommend reading our article on this topic.

High Herstory: We love your grow guides on ILGM.com What inspired the company to create such an in-depth resource on cannabis cultivation?

Ernst Rustenhoven: This is what ILGM started as; an educational blog about how to cultivate cannabis. Eventually, we added seed sales as an enhancement for our audience. We found that there are not many in-depth resources to learn how to grow cannabis so we sought out to change that. We aim to help growers every step of the way!
