Trulieve, ranked #2 on the Global Cannabis 50 (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF) announced the official launch of Highsman, the purpose-driven cannabis lifestyle brand founded by NFL legend Ricky Williams. Highsman went on sale statewide Friday and will be exclusively available at Trulieve and Harvest branded Arizona retail locations until February 4.
Williams, diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, left the NFL at the height of his career to pursue a life promoting cannabis. When Williams chose to step away from football in 2004, many thought he was turning his back on greatness, but Williams says he saw it as an end around to sharing his belief in cannabis with others.
“Both partners clearly see the Highsman vision and share the same enthusiasm for physical and mental healing as I do. Highsman is for anyone seeking greatness, mental and spiritual well-being,” says Ricky Williams, Founder and President of Highsman of Santa Monica, CA.
Williams will be making personal appearances at the following Trulieve and Harvest retail locations for a meet-and-greet:
