Inside the Industry’s Best-Kept Secret: Meet the Manufacturer Scaling Cannabis Brands into Hemp
Jul 21, 2025

Let’s face it, the hemp space can be tough to navigate. Whether you’re a
wholesale distributor or retailer sourcing compliant, high-margin hemp
products or launching your house brand. Also, cannabis brands are aiming to
cross into the hemp market for national expansion, but the complex
patchwork of regulations, red tape and uncertainty can stall your momentum.
The hemp space is no longer a side channel; it’s a strategic growth lane
for brands boxed in by fragmented cannabis regulations. Yet most operators
quickly discover hemp isn’t a simple copy-paste from THC market playbooks.
Formulation nuances, shifting federal and state interpretations, and retail
readiness create friction. Pronounced HEMP‑CO, hhemp.co was precisely built
to remove that friction, offering a one-stop ecosystem, from formulation
and compliance through manufacturing, distribution and retail placement.
Hhemp.co works directly with cannabis and hemp brands, helping you launch
compliant hemp-derived lines, such as THCa, THCp, CBD, CBG, CBN, and more,
and tap into untapped markets across the country. From formulation and
regulatory compliance to packaging, wholesale and retail placement,
hhemp.co is a true end-to-end solution.
*Driven by Purpose. Built for Growth.*
Scientist and entrepreneur Dr. Bao Le founded hhemp.co in 2020, motivated
by his son’s autism and epilepsy and early, transformative outcomes with
cannabinoids. Hhemp.co’s purpose remains human and outcomes-driven. Today,
this deeply human purpose remains the driving force behind hhemp.co,
anchoring the company’s values of Science, Innovation, and Trust.
“We built hhemp.co to remove barriers,” says Dr. Le. “Our goal is to
empower brands to scale safely and successfully, without sacrificing
quality or identity.”
Hhemp.co offers a full-spectrum solution for cannabis brands ready to
expand into the hemp wellness market. Dr. Le has led the company in helping
iconic brands such as Cookies, Gashouse, Cheech & Chong, Sherbinkis, and
Boutiq step into the hemp space with confidence. With over a decade of
experience in cannabinoid research and product development, Dr. Le has
formulated thousands of SKUs, launched California’s first licensed cannabis
extraction lab, and built both an international hemp extraction operation
and a regenerative hemp farm.
At hhemp.co, this expertise translates into a turnkey ecosystem for brands
looking to launch or scale compliant, high-quality hemp product lines. From
custom formulation, lab testing and packaging to distribution and retail
placement, the hhemp.co team handles every step, ensuring your products
meet federal standards and reach the right shelves.

Over the past five years, hhemp.co has become the behind-the-scenes
manufacturer for some of the biggest names in cannabis. Here are a few
reasons companies are turning to Dr. Le and his team:
- *Vertical Integration:* End-to-end services from R&D to shelf-ready
products
- *Compliance First Approach:* Navigate state and federal regulations
with expert guidance
- *Product Integrity:* Rigorous testing, ethical sourcing, and strict
quality assurance
- *Brand Centric Strategy:* Scaling your unique brand vision, not just
generic white label SKUs
- *Deep Market Experience:* Expert knowledge of both cannabis and hemp
regulatory landscapes domestically and internationally
As cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, CBN, THCp, THCa and THCv gain market
traction, consumers and retailers increasingly need clarity on product
safety, effectiveness and compliance, which are areas where hhemp.co excels.
*Proven Collabs: Where Vision Meets Execution*
Now that you have a feel for who hhemp.co is and what they do, let’s dive
into some of their key partnerships. These real-world examples demonstrate
precisely how they enable brands to manufacture and distribute products in
the hemp marketplace successfully.
These collaborations highlight more than just product quality; they
demonstrate the power of trusted brand equity, innovative formulations and
consistent compliance. By working with hhemp.co, you gain access to a
curated selection of high-demand, shelf-ready products from some of the
most recognizable names in cannabis.
Whether you’re a retailer looking to stock standout SKUs or a brand ready
to expand into the hemp category, hhemp.co is your go-to manufacturing
partner–where quality, compliance and credibility come standard.
*Chief Stix: *Hhemp.co manufactures the cannabinoids CBG, CBG+CBD, THCp and
THCa for the Chief Stix. Rap legend Rick Ross put Chief Stix on the map
when he posted on his Instagram page that he smokes Chief Stix Originals,
which are made with 100% CBD flower. This year, hhemp.co and Chief Stix are
launching new and exciting hemp products, namely Chief Stix Zero. It’s the
first-of-its-kind nicotine-free THC-free smokable alternative.
*Sherbinskis: *The iconic Sherbinskis, creator of Gelato and Sunset
Sherbert, is another hhemp.co success story. Together, they launched a
premium THCa preroll and 2G live resin vape line, featuring top strains
like Rainbow Runtz. With hhemp.co’s support, Sherbinskis maintains its
top-shelf cannabis quality, now available in federally legal formats.
*Boutiq: *One of hhemp.co’s most exciting recent partnership is with Boutiq,
the cult-favorite California cannabis brand known for terpene-rich flower
and sleek design. Now, thanks to hhemp.co, Boutiq is going national. It
reflects a strategic shift toward accessibility and nationwide growth,
without diluting the luxury cannabis experience that made them famous.
“Boutiq sets the standard in craftsmanship and aesthetic,” says Dr. Le.
“Our role is to deliver that vision at scale, without compromise.”
Through an exclusive agreement, hhemp.co is the sole U.S. manufacturer and
distributor of Boutiq’s new premium hemp line, debuting with:
- Live Diamond Infused Mini-Prerolls
- The Switch V4: A dual-chamber vape powered by Liquid Diamonds
Each product is carefully crafted to preserve Boutiq’s signature flavor and
effects while remaining fully compliant with the Farm Bill.
