The Why
Alcohol often takes more than it gives.
It dehydrates the body. It fogs the mind. It poisons the brain — making memories less memorable.
We know this. But alcohol is built into the foundations of our social lives — at bars, at weddings, at college tailgates. It's always there, the most accessible substance wherever people gather.
“It’s not the alcohol we crave. It’s the connection.”
For me, it’s personal. Alcohol took someone I loved — my grandfather. And I’ve watched too many others fade the same way. This isn’t theory. It’s a reckoning.
That’s why we built Highdration. A portable stick pack you can take anywhere — from concerts to campfires. Infused with hemp-derived THC, CBD, and electrolytes, it’s a synergistic social beverage that lifts you without leaving you behind.
The connection stays. The memory stays.
You stay — present, hydrated, and whole.
Headwaters
Where the idea of Highdration first took shape — and why we never looked back.
It was 2019. Matt and I were still in college — working at dispensaries by day and heading out with friends by night. This photo was taken at our favorite Irish pub, just before the semester started.
We saw how many people turned to alcohol for connection — including us. But at the dispensary, we were learning something different: how cannabinoids could ease anxiety, lift moods, and synergize with the body, not work against it.
Then COVID hit. School shut down. So did the dispensary. But we kept learning, sketching ideas, and shaping a brand that could cut through a market crowded with white-label drinks and black-market vapes.
By senior year, we’d stopped pre-gaming with liquor. Instead, we’d light a joint and drink electrolytes before going out. That’s when it clicked: hydration made the high better — cleaner, calmer, more consistent.
What started as a workaround became a blueprint. A functional ritual. A new kind of social drink.
Frequently Asked Questions
What we learned working in dispensaries during college was that CBD and THC have a complementary relationship. A product with just THC is more likely to cause anxiety. If you are new to cannabis consumtion we recommend starting with half a packet. The small pour hole allows you to roll the packet up and bring it with you!
