Friends -
Last year was our best year to date - thanks to you! We were able to expand our line of High THC Drops with six new tinctures, we fulfilled our longtime goal of relaunching High Gorgeous with empowering products that are even better than before, and we entered into a new category where we aim to make a huge splash - cannabis concentrates!
When we say thank you, not only does it come from the bottom of our hearts, but also from our families (human and fur) - without your support, we wouldn’t be here.
You, our heroes, found us essential and that kept us going through a tough year. We were able to grow our brands, our facility, and our team, despite the difficult times we have all been experiencing and it is because of the impact you’ve made by believing in this sister-owned small business, for which you have our most humble gratitude. We are proud to have the opportunity to continue to make products for all the people that helped us get this far.
As we look to 2022 and beyond, we hope you continue to believe in us and know that we are not only here to stay, but we are here to THRIVE! With a mission to empower people through the magic of cannabis, we don’t just manufacture and sell a product - we care about your experience before, during, and after. So let us know how we can support you, and remember that our team is a family, and we consider you to be an important part of it.
Please know that we are always here for any questions, comments, concerns...even if it’s just to send a cute video of your dog (we love animals!) - it all matters to us.
For those who have been with us for a while, thank you for continuing to join us on our cannabis journey, and for those we’ve only just met - get ready for an adventure.
We wish you a Gorgeous year!
