High Minded is an American cannabis company that produces premium, small-batch marijuana-based products. It was established in Michigan and specializes in flower, edibles, concentrates, and vapes production, processing, and distribution. High Minded is recognized as a quality, consistent, and community-driven cannabis producer, operating as a daughter company of Stash Ventures LLC. It has become a recognized leader in the Midwestern cannabis market.

Overview

High Minded is a Midwest-based company that offers high-quality cannabis products through both cultivation and the operation of proprietary growing spaces. The brand also develops a rich repertoire of strains, ranging from classic OGs to rare hybrids, turning them into edibles, concentrates, and vapes that target different user experiences, whether to feel relaxed, focused, or activated. High Minded has a heavy focus on charitable giving, with a portion of the proceeds provided by select philanthropy strains being donated to local causes such as those involving mental health and environmental preservation.

High Minded products are currently available in more than 30 dispensaries throughout Michigan and it has become a leader in the flower market, recognized as the number one flower in the state of Michigan between April to July 2025. Dedication to quality goes beyond the cultivation stage and is inclusive of creative product development, local philanthropy and sound business operation that have brought about 40 new jobs into the local communities.

History

High Minded was launched in 2020 during the pandemic that literally halted the world, but the brand found its footing at the very start of its journey. Scott and Julie Moorehead are the founders and husband-and-wife management team with many years of experience in topics related to retail business operations. Scott Moorehead is the Owner and CEO of Stash Ventures LLC, and Julie is involved in strategic oversight. Headquartered in Fishers, Indiana, and operating in Michigan, the Mooreheads saw the need to fill the niche gap in the mid-cap cannabis market that served customers with high-quality, reliable products. Using their experience of creating successful businesses, they set out to create a brand centered on the midwestern values of consistency, community and innovation.

In 2019, Stash Ventures LLC was created to incubate High Minded. The parent organization controls several cannabis companies, such as the Timber Cannabis Co. and High Minded Creations, which are involved in the vertical integration of cannabis, plant production, all the way through retail. The beginning stages of High Minded focused on the building of state-of-the-art processing and cultivation solutions in places such as Owosso and Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Terry Kemerer, Jr., joined the team in 2021 as Cultivation Manager and only adds to the brand-wide ethos of high-level teams, which balances business with horticultural expertise.

In 2022 High Minded celebrated a ribbon-cutting in Mt. Pleasant, expanding the business as a purveyor of top-notch cannabis to consumers in the state. The brand became popular within the shortest time, with each batch of the products being produced at a small scale to ensure high quality. One of the key steps was made in February 2024 when the company purchased 11 stores of Cloud Cannabis Co., another Michigan operator that was founded only in 2018 upon the legalization of recreational marijuana. This purchase diversified the retail operations of High Minded, alerting to identical beginnings in the aftermath of legalization and intensifying distribution statewide.

High Minded has always valued giving back by giving to local nonprofits and providing employees with paid volunteer days. This community orientation matches the vision of the founder of giving back, a factor that distinguishes the brand in the industry, which has been criticized due to motives revolving around profits. In 2025, the company was ranked among the best cannabis growers in Michigan with its consistent ranking in top sales in flower and more than 295 products forming part of its revenue that amounted to millions of dollars monthly. Irrespective of the fluctuating nature of markets, the brand has gained reputation based on hammering the message that it concentrates on genetic diversity, comprehensive testing and being sustainable.

Products and Services

High Minded provides a wide range of cannabis products divided into cultivations (flower and strains), creations (edibles, concentrates and vapes) and items on which part of the profit is donated to charity organizations. All products are made with in-house-grown cannabis that guarantees the traceability, potency, and flavor consistency. Small-batch production means a high-quality control and the presence of varying rates of the THC content, so the brand has products with a 15-34% content. Products can be found at dispensaries that are affiliated such as Timber Cannabis Co. and Cloud Cannabis, as well as through online ordering online platforms like Weedmaps.

Flower and Strains

High Minded’s flower is the cornerstone of its portfolio, often praised for dense, trichome-rich buds with vibrant flavors and effects. Marketed under “Big Buds” tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum), these reflect quality grading based on size, density, and cannabinoid profiles. Popular strains include:

The other characteristic flowers include 92 OG, Bad Santa, Black & Blue Magoo, Brake Cleaner, Brawband, and Crush OG. Bulk options mean an affordable access, with reviews mentioning a consistent curing and few stems. The strains of High Minded are categorized by their effect, which includes Dream (sleep aid), Chill (relaxation), Restore (recovery), Focus (productivity) and Activate (energy). This sorting allows the user to buy according to the needs and lab-tested strength will mean reliability.

Infused joints and pre-rolls make the game more accessible. Examples are Apes In Space Pre-Roll (0.7g or 5- pack), Blue Dream Pre-Roll, and the Banana Runtz Matchstick Infused Pre-Roll (1.2g). These are handrolled (roll your own) to smoke evenly, and they are usually filled with concentrates making them extremely potent.

Edibles

High minded Gummies are the most popular product in the edibles segment, which has gained recognition due to the accurate dosage, vegan-compatible formulas, and irresistible tastes. Available in 10- and 20-packs, they offer discrete long-lasting results.

Below is a table highlighting some of the best-selling THC gummies, their dosage, flavor profile, and unique benefits:

The range is completed with the edibles, such as Cherry Bomb and Strawberry Lemonade and some of them contain CBD or CBN to help sleep. Their reviews praise them because they have no hot spots and they only contain natural ingredients, making them a favorite when it comes to smoke-free consumption.

Concentrates

High Minded is a leader in extracts, with terpene-rich profiles through strain-specific cannabis. Liquid resin and hardened resin varieties retain flavors:

Concentrates are analyzed on their levels of purity and using flavors like pine, citrus or diesel. They help boost sales but the rankings are unstable because of competition.

Vapes

The vape products are convenient and offer discretion since the cartridges and disposables are available in 1g sizes.

Here are some popular vape cartridges and disposable options:

Vape flavor also includes Watermelon Zkittlez and Strawberry Cough.

Specialty and Philanthropic Products

High Minded is one of the first companies to create exclusive philanthropy strains the proceeds of which are donated to charitable foundations and causes. Such an initiative enables customers to donate positively to society through the purchase of their cannabis, which funds various efforts such as mental health facilities or environmentally friendly projects.

Processing and Quality Control

High Minded products are put through stringent quality control procedures at its Mount Pleasant processing plant. The company uses rigorous efficiency techniques, professional horticultural methods, and advanced technology to bring consistency and potency throughout the line of their products. They also work in small batches allowing them to take note of finer details in every part of the process starting with cultivation and finishing with packaging.
