Hi! Bear and Philly here! We are so excited to introduce ourselves and our company to you! Lucky Strains is a woman majority owned, family operated small business. Philly and I are a husband and wife team that has had massive family support since we started in this amazing industry when the Farm Bill passed in 2018. Matter of fact, chances are more likely than not that  you will see Granny and Pop (Bear's mom and dad) at events! Philly and I have always believed in the power of hemp, cannabis and cannabinoids. Our first business, Lucky's Treehouse, focused on CBD and products made of hemp and recyclable materials. When hemp derived THC became legal in Minnesota, we rebranded as Lucky's Strains. The name change was important to us as educating people on the different strains of cannabis is a passion of ours and we both personally use hemp and cannabis for medical purposes.

I am a breast cancer survivor and throughout this journey our appreciation for these magnificent plants has intensified by a million fold. I was misdiagnosed at my yearly mammogram in December of 2021. I was told that I had a cyst in my breast and that this is extremely common. When I went back to have my yearly 3D mammogram December 12th of 2022 I was told that my cyst had grown, but that it was still not an area of concern. I was not comfortable with this information and moved forward with a diagnostic mammogram, ultrasound and had 3 biopsies completed within 3 days of my mammogram results. Exactly 1 week after my yearly 3D mammogram I was diagnosed breast cancer, 19 days after my 42nd birthday. I had a bi-lateral mastectomy and first stage breast reconstructive surgery in February of 2023, second stage reconstructive surgery in June of 2023, a full hysterectomy with removal of ovaries due to the type of cancer I had in September of 2023, fat graphing reconstruction surgery in April of 2024 and I have chemo injection therapy every 6 months. Through all of this I never took an opioid or narcotic. I made this choice to avoid the severe side effects and also out of respect for all the people that have been lost to opioid addiction.  

Philly and I get immense joy helping others become more comfortable with learning what benefits hemp, cannabis and cannabinoids can contribute to everyone's individual endocannabinoid system and to live a lifestyle that promotes individual happiness. It's time to end the stigma surrounding hemp, cannabis and cannabinoids. It's time to help provide educational information so that everyone can understand how complex and incredible these plants truly are. I have been using hemp, cannabis and cannabinoids for years to assist with managing irritable bowel syndrome, rapid cycle bipolar, nervous anxiety disorder that causes sleep issues and ADHD. Philly has been using hemp, cannabis and cannabinoids for years to assist with focus, stress, creativity and childhood trauma. Hemp, cannabis  and cannabinoids are truly incredible, when you know how and when to use them.
