Marijuana Business Daily promotes news related to the marijuana and hemp industries through a magazine as well as the podcast Seed to CEO. One episode, “Distilling a Disrupter: The Highway Vodka Story,” features an interview with Highway Vodka co-founder and owner Ben Williams. He discusses how his specific brand of vodka, made with hempseed, started as a hobby in Houston, Texas, and grew into a much larger business.
Williams began distilling the homemade vodka in his garage before moving the operation to a large barn. Highway Vodka does not have a THC or CBD component, but rather uses the edible hearts of hempseed to create a smooth-drinking spirit. The company first started using food-grade hempseed from Whole Foods and is currently looking for a local supplier in Texas.
