New Year’s Intentions for Cannabis Community
In 2023, I’m setting intentions for our community at High There. It starts by making sure what you’re finding in our app, through our community, support, stories and features are exactly what you’re looking for.
Cannabis Content Partnerships
First and foremost, my job at High There is creating exciting content that you won’t find anywhere else. I also recognize that we have cannabis consumers from all backgrounds and with varying preferences. That’s why our goal is for the High There app to have engaging articles and content from not only from High There’s perspective. In our app, you’ll find top stories from other cannabis publishers, non-profit organizations and trusted companies to bring our app consumers an all-encompassing experience.
We’ve partnered with websites like heyemjay.com and The Cannigma to share their articles in our app. Also, we’d like to thank our first nonprofit,
, for allowing us to share its stories and initiatives with our app audience. We look forward to bringing on additional partners in the new year!
Special Cannabis Deals
We’re bringing the deals. This month, we’re launching exclusive coupon deals to our app users. If you’re signed up for push notifications, you’ll get coupons from our affiliate partners, either sitewide and for individual cannabis-related products. From cutting-edge vapor technology to cannabis grow box kits and more, you’ll discover cool products and save on them, too.

A Personal Note
In 2023, I would love to connect with brands, cannabis publishers, nonprofits, creators and individuals who see the value of utilizing High There’s extended community of cannabis enthusiasts. I will also be branching out to
more cannabis products, share more personal experience with new cannabinoids and types of content with you all! Stay tuned for exciting new projects launching this year.
