Lighthouse Sciences emerged in Ohio's competitive cannabis landscape with a clear mission: to bridge cutting-edge medical research with traditional herbalism. When they finally got moved into their new lab in Eastlake in 2020, Brian wanted to find a way to set Lighthouse Sciences apart from the 46 other processors in the Ohio program that got a head start on them. The breakthrough came when founder Brian partnered with master extractor Alex Sandorf, who brought nearly 15 years of west coast expertise from mature markets like California, Colorado, and Arizona.Sandorf was a master extractor originally from the California market with nearly 15 years of growing and lab experience. His background brought to Ohio a wealth of knowledge from the west coast, having operated in mature rec markets such as California, Colorado, Arizona, Washington, and Oregon, having extracted and produced for prestigious national brands such as Guild Extracts, F/ELD, Lowell Smokes, Claybourne Cannabis Co, Rove, Nuvata, and more.The company's growth accelerated through strategic collaborations, including recent partnerships with Blue Planet Chocolate for premium THC-infused confections. Their evolution from a startup processor to a market leader demonstrates their commitment to bringing mature market quality to Ohio's developing cannabis industry.
