High Functioning Podcast

Now Streaming: Did Beverage Bros Break Hemp? | Laura Beohner, The Healing Rose

Jason Reposa makes hemp drinks. So for High Functioning's 100th episode he asked Laura Beohner, CEO and co-founder of The Healing Rose, the obvious question: knowing where hemp has ended up, are we the problem?

"Oh, yeah," she said. Then she explained why the people who used the loophole hurt brands like hers, whose products don't get you high.

Laura has run The Healing Rose for ten years with no investors and no debt. Her organic hemp topicals are in 150 Massachusetts dispensaries, and her best-selling $80 salve does six figures a year. She also founded the Massachusetts Hemp Coalition.
