Torch Cannabis Co. CEO Kelly Young started a mobile extraction company in 2017 to help farmers, and once invested, she had lab tests done on the end product oil and researched each

cannabinoid. After learning about the acidic molecules versus the carbon molecules, Young educated herself by making new products and sending out samples to receive feedback and customer testimonials.

Specifically, her THCA and THC/ CBD formulations were proving effective for various health conditions and she noted how different delivery methods varied in effectiveness from person to

person. Young says, “After reaching out to extractors in the industry, we refined our processing to maximize the full plant during our extraction techniques. We offer a full-spectrum approach creating infused products with unique cannabinoid ratios suitable for any desired experience for

any level of consumer. Creating spiritually uplifting plant products that support holistic wellness and self-care is always at the heart of what we do. We also provide raw, whole-plant products, which are non-psychotropic and geared toward individuals in recovery. Our whole-plant approach to product formulation is rooted in the understanding that when it comes to the many cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes and other organic compounds found in cannabis, the sum of its whole is greater than any individual part.”

A native of Northern Michigan, Young is passionate about giving hercommunity safe access to cannabis. She’s committed to providing organically grown flower and unique infused products

that support and empower holistic, plant-based wellness and recovery. She brings nearly a decade of experience in sales and food safety compliance honed as owner and operator of a Torch Lake grocery retailer, embracing the approach to cannabis as being rooted in transparency,

safety and service.

Formulated with recovery in mind, the Torch Cannabis Co. product line has something for everyone. “We gear our blends to appeal to a soccer mom trying to keep ahead of life or a professional who just wants a little tea with milk and honey at the end of a day,” says Young. “Torch Cannabis Co. has the autonomy to create new products that make life easier for the

cannabis consumer. The Happy Hippies Party line includes several different kits to enjoy eating the size brownie one really wishes for. Gone are the days of cutting a brownie into 10 pieces and praying that one square doesn’t have the whole amount. Our THCA and CBDA product line,

Graceful Grass, is geared toward providing people who struggle with addiction with other forms of cannabis that does not create a psychotropic effect.”

THCA is rarely found in the market place because it doesn’t get people high, yet it requires the extra regulatory compliance due to federal prohibition of cannabis. Their sister company, My TCBD, has been gifting CBDA through the nonprofit Free Relief which maintains a small base of individuals and provides them free cannabis oil for no cost. “Every time you purchase a Torch Cannabis Co or My TCBD product, 1 percent of the proceeds goes back to support Free Relief,” says Young. Ultimately, she has a goal of running a wellness center where people can come to stay and grotry different forms of plant medicine while they reconnect with nature and their souls.

Creating spiritually uplifting plant products that support holistic wellness and self-care is always

at the heart of what we do.
