At Holistic Industries we aspire to be champions of cannabis—champions of the plant, of the industry at-large, of our communities, of budtenders and buyers, of our team members and our customers.

Holistic does this by growing, packaging and selling a consistently high-quality product that patients and consumers truly want. Holistic creates retail and brand experiences that authentically connect with today’s cannabis-loving customer and the team at Holistic leads with passion, authenticity and a local approach that prioritizes people and the plant.

Scaling from a seed of inspiration in 2011, Holistic Industries is now one of the largest and fastest growing private MSOs (Multi-State Operators) in the country. We're able to deliver consistent value to employees, patients, and investors because of the values that drive our work - how we do business and why. We have one of the most seasoned teams in the industry, a budding "Greenhouse of Brands" and a meaningful model of doing well by doing good.

As a vertically integrated multistate operator, Holistic cultivates and extracts, manages Liberty Cannabis retail stores (Home of Team Green https://libertycannabis.com), supplies hundreds of dispensaries as a wholesaler, and creates our own distinctive brands including:

Garcia Hand Picked – garciahandpicked.com - called hand picked because we collaborated with Jerry Garcia’s family (Grateful Dead) to choose every strain, product, package, merch, event, and charity. It’s the most authentic and successful celebrity brand in the making.

Strane – thisisstrane.com - this widely distributed brand showcases our skill at growing craft cannabis at scale and featuring familiar and unique cultivars in a broad range of form factors.

Hellavated —hellavated.com- first introduced in Oregon and now growing quickly across our markets, Hellavated offers well-priced products that are flavor forward, potent and fun.

Do Drops – dodropsedibles.com- we answered a market need for an approachable, low-dose edible for new users while still accommodating heavier users (‘Eat One Stay Mild, Eat More Get Wild’).

Cannaceutica –cannaceutica.com- Cannaceutica will be the first true healthcare brand in the industry, studied to treat chronic pain and backed by evidence from UC Irvine.

Our team includes the nation’s most knowledgeable experts in cultivation and medical dispensing, along with professionals who are top of their fields in medical professions, security, agriculture, real estate, and the legal distribution of other highly controlled substances. We are a team of best-in-class executives and staff from within and outside the industry who share a passion for advancing cannabis products and retail experience at scale.
