Back in 2011, SMPLSTC’s present owner Conor Denman opened a cannabis vaping business enterprise known as Traditional Juice. However, Denman was not fond of cannabis even as he supported the tobacco business. This view changed as Denman saw how cannabidiol helped his father with prostate cancer as well as his mother with fibromyalgia. In 2019, Denman’s father was frequently coping with inflammation and back pain.
The experiences of his family with cannabidiol may have opened Denman’s eyes, but he only became a true CBD believer after using it for the first time. Denman once used to become tense when playing golf with his father, so his father gave him a cannabidiol tincture to help him relax. Denman tried the CBD product, and then he said that it allowed him to play golf in the best way in his life until then.
Later, Denman left the tobacco business to learn whatever he could regarding cannabidiol and with intentions to enter the CBD business with another person. The plan failed to materialize initially, so he contacted Clayton Jones and KC Gates. While Jones is the brother of his spouse, Gates is his friend, and they were part of separate tobacco companies. Conversations between the three resulted in a cannabidiol business offer and a collective decision to combine their efforts.
Since its opening in 2018, SMPLSTC has been becoming more popular as a CBD supplier. The fact that the business enterprise expanded itself into new cities is a testament to its growing popularity.
Tobacco vaping goods and cannabidiol are manufactured through different processes. Nevertheless, Jones, Gates and Denman learned the ways of adjusting and making a foolproof and healthy cannabidiol product line. Denman said that starting the line required much experimentation, but he believed that whatever one put much time into would help people and sell well.
SMPLSTC opened in 2018 as just an e-commerce company, without an office to do business out of. Establishing brand SMPLSTC mostly entailed working from the place where Denman used to live back then. As for Denman, it was just a hassle to start the brand there. It was a move that did not go down well with his lover Justyne, but she realized that they were onto something.
In nearly two years, SMPLSTC expanded from the flat of Denman to a store in the City of Costa Mesa, Orange County. Since the start, SMPLSTC has been offering customers hemp derivatives with small quantities of tetrahydrocannabinol as ways of relief. The THC content in these products is not high enough to make the user intoxicated.
Back in 2019, it marketed and traded CBD vapes, waters, tinctures and pre-rolls. Back then, the three men behind the business venture planned on rolling out more cannabis derivatives.
While the tincture- and vape-type CBD products at SMPLSTC have different flavors, each blend has botanical health advantages that can get users through the day. The federal government has been scrutinizing many cannabis vape suppliers for trading α-Tocopheryl acetate, but SMPLSTC uses just hemp in its purest form. Denman said that all of its goods used distillate hemp terpenes, and that it used an odorless, all-natural and flavorless CBD cutting agent.
The business of SMPLSTC was booming in 2019, but it could not force its way into cannabis dispensary storefronts back then. Cannabis topicals could be legally sold through the storefronts back then, but not other hemp varieties including vapes and tinctures, as these could not be licensed properly.
As for Denman, there were several potential obstacles to overcome when trying to get licensed to trade THC goods. Nevertheless, Denman and his business partners were confident that they could achieve the goal in 2020. Then, Denman promised that SMPLSTC would introduce a THC item through a licensed partner.
