High Society Hemp Co. (1)
At High Society Hemp Co., our journey began in Texas, a state where cannabis remains illegal. As someone who has always believed in natural remedies, I’ve been a supporter of the cannabis industry for its potential to heal. But in 2020, this belief became personal when my husband, just six months after we got engaged, was diagnosed with cancer. Since then, he has undergone continuous chemotherapy and endured major surgeries, including the removal of ribs, leading to immense pain. Watching him suffer daily, relying on narcotics and opioids to get through the day, was heartbreaking. When you’re faced with a life-threatening illness, all you want is to live fully, not be sedated.

Imagine getting engaged, and within 6 months your finance gets diagnosed with cancer. Mickey from and High Society Hemp Co. doesn't have to imagine. Mickey is from Texas where cannabis is still illegal. Her husband was going through chemotherapy, surgeries and even had some ribs removed. He was in pain. The opioid pain killers sedated him too much for him to participate in his life and the lives of their children. Mickey started cooking with hemp derived cannabinoids. Her creations helped her husband's pain. Then she turned her knowledge into a business, High Society Hemp Co. The business helped with the medical bills and other expenses. Mickey continues to battle labyrinthian cannabis regulations and banal day to day challenges with love and passion. Listen to how Mickey bobs and weaves and throws punches in bunches at every obstacle that comes her way.
