Our Story
Our lives and the world around us are both ripe for transformation and change. However, it’s often difficult for that transformative process to begin without deep healing and that’s where we come in.
Inspired by the artwork of visionary artist Alex Grey, particularly his landmark painting, “Higher Vision,” we decided to come together with him to help fulfill his dream to heal the world with cannabis. With decades of experience in the industry, our team is committed to creating and distributing only the highest-quality cannabis products on the market.
Renowned for his work around the world, Alex Grey has developed an unprecedented reputation for his ability to take viewers on an enlightening journey toward their own divine nature through an in detail examination of the body, mind, and spirit. Much like Alex Grey, we too share the common belief that we can use cannabis as a tool to tap into higher realms of consciousness and creativity.
Experiencing firsthand cannabis’ powerful healing properties, through our strategic alliances with the most trusted and reliable farms and technology, we make and deliver the highest-quality cannabis products imaginable. Through our steam distillation and spinning band distillation processes, we produce some of the finest cannabis products available today.
This allows our customers to truly experience the divine imagination and experience the profound physical, spiritual, and emotional healing that only cannabis can provide.

Accolades
- “I am very excited to be working with Higher Vision, a company that approached me with the finest cannabis oil I have ever tasted. Higher Vision Cannabis preserves the aromatic terpenes that give a unique flavor to each bud and are lost in 95% of most oils available. So when I tried Higher Visions oil, it was like tasting the future. The oil is of the highest quality medical grade purity, tested and certified. Clean, clear sparkling highs with all vaping or cooking. I am honored to have my art associated with one of the greatest suppliers of cannabis products in the world.”
– Alex Grey in Emerald Magazine
- “It is great to see that Higher Vision is putting so much thought into the activation and accentuation of terpenes. This aligns perfectly with the ethos of Kanvas and will be a great foundation for working together.”
– Joe Doyle (Kanvas Director of Design & Engineering)
- “Super Oil can be applied to a joint, it can be used in a vapor pen, it’s dabbable with a rig, it can be applied as a topical oil on your skin and it’s edible. Now that’s an all-purpose cannabis product!…Super Oil made its debut last July, but is already widely used by cannabis chefs.”
– The Fresh Toast’s 3 Marijuana Products You Need To Try Before You Die
- “Higher Vision Cannabis’ Super Oil stands tall as a pure extract.”
– Quality Buds
- “There’s not a ton of transparency in the [vaporizer] processes right now…It will change in the future, once they’re lab tested and regulated. I would say the more pure the oil is, the better. That’s what people want right now. Vape pens are a growing part of the industry, it’s not going away.”
– Aaron Justis, CEO of Buds & Roses
- “As you make things more potent on the cannabinoid side, you’re removing things like terpenoids and flavonoids [cannabis metabolites also contributing to the color, smell and flavor of a strain], the overall ensemble of components that make for the complete cannabis experience…You definitely want to maintain the ‘entourage effect’ because when you don’t have all the terpene activity, you lose some of the firepower.”
– Dave Bonvillain, owner of Elite Cannabis Enterprises and Elite Botanicals

Why Cannabis Derived?
Unfortunately many terpenes added to cannabis oil do not, in fact, come from cannabis. As with most things, artificial terpenes can be manufactured synthetically in a laboratory. The taste is often septic and harsh, easily identifiable as fake, and hardly comparable to the real thing.
Why Steam Distilled?
Steam distillation is an all-natural and solventless process that captures the full spectrum of terpenes, as they are released organically, and BEFORE they are exposed to extraction solvents. Preserving the natural integrity of the terpene profile.
Cannabis terpenes are often fractioned or isolated AFTER exposure to extraction solvents as part of the short-path distillation process. While this method can yield quality terpenes, steam distillation is more eco-friendly and keeps the natural order of the genetic terpene profiles more in tact.
Why Fresh Frozen?
Fresh frozen cannabis is used for concentrated extraction purposes only. This is where the term “live” in “live resin” and “live rosin” comes from, denoting the superior fresh frozen process.
This process uses dry ice and deep freezers to lower the temperature of the whole plant as soon as its cut down, allowing for a much more precise retention and preservation of the terpene profile and cannabinoid content at the point of harvest.
