Holistic and Spiritual Health (HASH)

HASH (Holistic and Spiritual Health) was born from the vision of James M. Gould, founder and CEO of CannAscend Ohio Processing, who established the company in Wilmington, Ohio after witnessing the community's economic struggles. Gould's commitment to cannabis advocacy runs deep - he led Ohio's first constitutional amendment ballot initiative in 2015, served on the state's Medical Marijuana Task Force in 2016, and helped draft Ohio House Bill 523, which became the state's medical marijuana law.CannAscend received its processing license in 2019 after ranking in the top 25 of Ohio applicants, marking the official launch of HASH as their flagship concentrate brand. The company made a strategic decision to focus exclusively on premium quality over quantity, refusing to serve as a waste remediation facility for cultivator byproducts. In July 2021, CannAscend was acquired by Columbia Care (now The Cannabist Company) for $14.2 million, expanding their Ohio operations while maintaining HASH's artisanal approach to concentrate production.

HASH operates as a premium concentrate brand under CannAscend Ohio Processing, specializing in high-grade medical cannabis concentrates made exclusively from top-shelf fresh-frozen cannabis flower. The brand focuses primarily on Ohio's medical marijuana market, where they've established themselves as a competitive player, consistently ranking in the top 20 for concentrates and gaining traction in the vapor pen category.Their product lineup includes Live Resin and Live Rosin badders, sugars, diamonds, and Luster Pods, all crafted using both solventless and light-hydrocarbon extraction methods. The brand extends beyond concentrates through two additional lines: Lux, featuring high-grade hash-infused caramel chocolates with proprietary technology for maximum terpene preservation, and Soul Food, an innovative line of natural and organic cannabis food products.Rather than processing cultivator waste, HASH sources only select, strain-specific premium flower, ensuring each product delivers the concentrated cannabinoid profiles and terpenes found in freshly harvested cannabis. This commitment to quality has resulted in top-selling products like their Aloha Lion Live Resin Cartridge and Cherry Mintz Live Resin Cartridge.

HASH's mission centers on putting patients first while delivering the highest therapeutic benefit possible from the cannabis plant. The brand advocates for responsible access to high-quality, tested, and regulated cannabis that supports personal freedom and community wellbeing. Their approach prioritizes what's best for Ohio patients above profit margins, fighting for good government and responsible cannabis access.Every HASH product delivers a pure, unadulterated effect through precise, controlled dosing of therapeutic cannabinoids and terpenes. The brand is committed to innovation that preserves the full spectrum of benefits found in fresh cannabis without requiring combustion or degradation of the medicine. As a small, family business, HASH fills a market niche by emphasizing the highest quality at affordable price points, ensuring patients receive unparalleled access to premium cannabis medicine.
