one year of hai. | embracing the glow in new york

it's been a full year since we officially launched hai. on july 10, 2025.

when we started this journey, our mission was to build a cannabis and lifestyle brand in new york that creates products that feel as natural as sharing a drink with friends, while never compromising on quality, community, or the craft of solventless extraction.

looking back, we are incredibly happy to see how far we’ve come and the community that has grown around us.

here are a few highlights from our first year in the new york market.

a solventless state of mind

our commitment to premium, sun-grown, solventless cannabis has always been our north star. this year, we released multiple solventless live rosin collections, from the sativa-driven papaya sunrise to our balancing cherry blossom, we’ve loved to offer a variety of flavor-profiles and effects to consumers.

by utilizing ice, water, and gentle agitation, we’ve been able to preserve the full-spectrum entourage effect of the plant without the use of harsh chemicals. seeing our community embrace the clean, terpene-rich experience of our solventless products has validated everything we set out to do.

38+ retail partners (and counting)

we couldn't have reached our community without the incredible support of new york’s licensed dispensaries. in just one year, we’ve partnered with over 38 licensed retailers across the state. from brooklyn to upstate, we are honored to share shelf space with some of the best craft producers in the market.

education first: the hash connoisseur course

cannabis is an ever-evolving landscape, and education is the key to elevating the entire industry. that’s why we launched the hash connoisseur education course. we wanted to break down the barriers around concentrate culture, teaching our community about the intricate process of ice water hash, micron ranges, and how to decide what they want to consume.

building the hai. community

at the end of the day, hai. is a lifestyle brand built around connection.

we also introduced the essentials series, allowing us to spotlight the inspiring individuals who make up our community, creators, artists, and wellness advocates who intentionally make room for joy and playfulness in their everyday lives.

we also hit the road, hosting educational events and retail activations across the state. connecting with you, answering your questions, and sharing our passion for the plant has been the absolute highlight of our year.

what’s next?

we are just getting started. as we move into year two, we are more dedicated than ever to advocating for premium, clean cannabis, building meaningful collaborations with artists and creators, and finding new ways to help you embrace the glow.

thank you to everyone who has supported hai. this past year, whether you picked up a vape at your local dispensary, attended one of our events, or simply shared our story.

here’s to many more years of good vibes and great hash.

stay elevated, the hai. team
