High Speed Extracts operates from their Hot Springs Village facility, focusing exclusively on solventless cannabis processing. The company specializes in utilizing fewer chemicals and gearing products toward the solventless market using hash and resin — something many processors do not do.Their product portfolio includes several distinct lines. The Green Hornet wellness-centric gummy line, brought to Arkansas through partnership with nationally recognized Cheeba Chews, features gummies with minor cannabinoids like CBC, CBG, and CBD paired with THC. Product offerings include Goodnight Grape gummies with 5mg CBN, 10mg THC and melatonin for sleep, plus Trifecta gummies with proprietary THC, CBG and CBD blends.Additional products include 501 Boy vapes in OG Runtz and Maui Wowi strains, PACKSPOD disposables, and hash-infused chocolate bars through their Ouachita Farms brand. High Speed maintains distribution across every Arkansas dispensary while also handling products for partner brand Carpenter Farms. The company plans to expand into medical marijuana beverages at their Arkansas facility.
High Speed Extracts launched in July 2023 as a collaboration between two industry veterans with complementary expertise. Founded by David Owen, who already owned a hemp company in Texarkana, and Adam Grimmett, who previously ran a dispensary and handled dispensary bonds, the company brought together hemp-side cannabis experience with retail and financial industry knowledge.The partnership also includes beverage industry veteran Breck Speed, former Mountain Valley Spring Water executive who sold the company to private equity in 2014. Together, Speed and Owen had already developed the Lark beverage line using hemp-derived THC, sold in close to 400 locations across Arkansas, Texas, and Georgia.High Speed celebrated its one-year anniversary in July 2024, marking rapid growth from startup to statewide presence. The company evolved throughout its first year to achieve products in every Arkansas dispensary while taking on distribution for Carpenter Farms, transforming their business model. Despite this expansion, they've maintained their roots as a small, close-knit company that remains patient-driven from the start.

The company believes this approach represents what the market truly needs for patient wellness.High Speed is exceptionally passionate about patients and their quality of life, constantly working in the field to gauge patient needs and ensure access to cannabis products with different therapeutic properties.

This natural approach extends to their beverage development, where they focus on clean, low-dose formulations designed for social consumption and therapeutic benefit rather than just intoxication.
