Northern Michigan Cannabis Pioneer

Torch Cannabis Co. and My TCBD provides organically grown flower- and unique-infused products that support and empower holistic, plant-based wellness. Founder and CEO Kelly Young was born and raised in the Torch Lake region of Northern Michigan, and she brings a lifetime of experience in sales and food safety compliance as owner of the Village Market.

            Previously president of Graceful Mobility, an extraction and packaging company for hemp and cannabis products helping the small farmer maximize profit margins, and CEO of Graceful Laboratories, a manufacturer of all-natural CBD products, Young promotes an educational approach to cannabis rooted in transparency, safety and service. She started My TCBD in 2018, operating at farmers’ markets in Interlochen, Elk Rapids, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Boyne City and Saint Ignace. This summer, Torch Cannabis Co. brand will be launched and available for distribution in marijuana dispensaries across the state.

            Torch Cannabis Co. harnesses the full spectrum of the cannabis plant in unique edibles and infused products. Whole-plant extracts preserve the dynamic molecular composition of natural cannabis terpenes, cannabinoids and flavonoids. Young says, “We view cannabis as a uniquely centering element of holistic health, self-love and empowerment. And we’re on a mission to provide an unparalleled collection of the finest cannabis flower, edibles and infused products to help our customers elevate their minds and bodies. Delivering a whole and raw plant product is unique in the industry of cannabis because it gives each individual the opportunity to allow their endocannabinoid system to maximize the synergies of the plant. We offer individuals who may be in recovery the peace of mind of being able to use cannabis without the psychotropic effects.”

            She also offers this non-psychotropic product through Free Relief, gifting cancer patients and veterans with access to the cannabis plant to help in their healing,  Torch Cannabis Co. will be launching the raw cannabis form product line for sale and distribution under the brand of Torch Cannabis Co. once her pharmaceutical-grade medical and adult-use-licensed cannabis processing company opens this summer.

            They also make an insect repellent for ticks, no-see-um gnats and mosquitos called Ticked OFF on sale this month at Village Markets in Elk Rapids, Rapid City and Central Lake, and online.

            “The Torch Cannabis Co. will be featuring the marijuana product line and My TCBD will remain as the CBD pillar in our house of brands. Whether you visit us in person at our dispensary in Central Lake or purchase our marijuana products in dispensaries across the state of Michigan or our hemp-derived products nationwide, we want you to know we appreciate you and are here for you,” Says Young. “We offer free consultations that embody an educational approach so that each consumer can make the best decisions for their comfort level of using cannabis.”
