Last week was my first time experiencing Detroit and the Michigan community, and let me tell you something, it did not disappoint. Once again, George and Kim Jage along with the rest of the amazing team did a fantastic job with MJ Unpacked and forging meaningful connections with like minded cannabis community members.
Our goals for this show were simple, connect with license holders to create new licensing opportunities for Higher Celebrations, educate retailers and buyers on the clinically studied Arbor Hemp products, and to showcase our alignment and capital raising strategy with ECS Brands. Throughout the show, we had engaging conversations with leading MI license holders, MSOs, research driven hemp companies, investors and of course many of our dear friends within the community.
Not only were we able to have amazing conversations, but we got to engage with some awesome brands, and while I can't name them all, here are some that stood out to me;
Respect My Region founders Joey Brabo and Mitch Pfeifer continue to elevate the media space, with a diverse portfolio of content, retail appreciation posts, and one of my favorites, the Spotlight Series. Beyond their packaged goods, by taking a strong media approach, RMR is engaging constantly with consumers and retail buyers while bringing the lifestyle, music and cannabis community together.
We all know cannabis and hemp beverages are becoming more and more popular, and throughout the show I was able to try a wide range of offerings. While all the beverages I had were fantastic in taste, that one brand that truly stood out was Electric Brands Inc. [Sweet Justice]. Already one of the leading beverages in Canada, Eric Frape, Marc Ross, David Pilchuk and Jocelyn Tse have brought their amazing flavor profiles and diverse dosage to MI earlier this year, and have hit the ground running.
I also connected with multiple groups that are focusing on researched inputs for products, including Blake Villa and Michael Janssen and their terpene profiles that have been studied by Eybna for the QWIK LIQUIDS product line. There were multiple other groups that have data supported products, and I look forward to seeing continued movement towards more research behind this amazing plant.
All in all, it was a fantastic show, and can't wait for the follow up process to continue moving the conversations forward. If we didn't connect, shoot me a message I'd love to chat all things Higher Celebrations, Arbor Hemp and ECS Brands
