The Power of Mary's Magic

Cultivating Compassion: Stash Venture’s Dedication to the Fight Against Leukemia. 

    At Stash Ventures, it's not just about cultivating premium cannabis strains; it's about cultivating compassion and a sense of community. It's about standing shoulder to shoulder with their employees, their customers, and their communities, exemplifying the kind of dedication that transcends the corporate world and enters the realm of heartfelt philanthropy.  As the third quarter ended so did the success of our philanthropy strain, Mary’s Magic.


   Each quarter the High Minded Cultivation and Processing facilities grow a strain to support a cause we are passionate about as a company. A portion of the proceeds goes back to the organization we are supporting. Many of these causes are personal to our employees and Mary’s Magic is no exception. 


   Mary’s Magic was inspired by our very own Timber Cannabis Co. Three Rivers Budtender, Mary McCauley. If you haven’t gotten the chance to read Mary McCauley’s inspiring story, you can check it out – here.


   In short, Mary, also known as Hippie Granny, has been battling leukemia for the last 20 years. Cannabis has helped her manage the side effects that come with leukemia and medications and is passionate about educating others who may find cannabis useful in their healing journey. After learning about the true gem Mary is as a person, we wanted to give back to an organization on her behalf that supports cancer patients. 


   So, the Higher Hopes Foundation partnered with the Blood Cancer Foundation of Michigan to donate a portion of Stash Venture’s profits to assist other cancer patients in need. 

Our exceptional High Minded Cultivation team grew some pretty great bud we called Mary’s Magic!  The High Minded Creations team also created Mary’s Magic Live Resin.


Mary’s Magic is pungent and potent, with a skunky, gassy aroma and earthy citrus flavor. It has a slow, smooth build, settling into a euphoric, cerebral bliss and a warm, stoney body high. It works great for those who need help with managing symptoms of cancer treatments, anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, PTSD, nausea, chronic pain, and insomnia.


    With unwavering enthusiasm, our dedicated High Minded wholesale team and the compassionate staff at Timber Cannabis Co. took Mary's uplifting story to every corner of the state. As the quarter drew to a close, we were overjoyed to announce that, thanks to our collective efforts, a substantial donation of $4,000 was raised for the indispensable Blood Cancer Foundation of Michigan. This incredible organization goes above and beyond, providing vital education, emotional support, and financial aid to those battling blood cancer. In our heartfelt discussions with their team, we learned that the funds would be most beneficial in covering transportation costs for patients in need. From essential travel to lodging expenses, every dollar contributes to ensuring that no patient is left without access to the crucial care they deserve.


    To truly understand the profound impact of this remarkable strain, let's hear directly from Mary herself. In her own words, she shares her extraordinary experience, the transformation it brought, and the beacon of hope it ignited.


“You know the universal laws of three? Whatever you give to the Universe, you get back threefold. With Mary’s Magic, I felt like I received 10 times what I was able to give. This experience to me made me feel like I had finally made a difference in someone’s life that was tangible. Someone who was going through exactly what I went through 15 years ago can now receive support through the Michiana Blood Foundation.


I have an overwhelming amount of gratitude and admiration for our budtenders and staff alike that believed in and sold Mary’s Magic for this cause. No other company in cannabis leads in give back like Timber, High Minded, and Stash does. I was able to go to several Timber stores and be the vendor of Mary’s Magic for the day. The amount of love and support I felt from my colleagues and customers was phenomenal.


The Michiana Blood Foundation still needs an immense amount of financial support. What they are covering right now is a person’s food or gas bill. It is by no means a cheap diagnosis. Within 2 years, my house was taken from me due to lack of finances from paying for treatments. Myself, my husband, and all 3 of our dogs moved into an RV. And that was before it was cool to live in one. I kind of like to think I was a trendsetter with that! With cancer, there is so much more depth to what the word “support” means. If you are in any position to give resources to The Michiana Blood Foundation, you would be giving a lifeline to someone who is just trying to live.”


    In closing, "Cultivating Compassion: Stash Venture's Dedication to the Fight Against Leukemia" is not just a story of a company's philanthropic efforts; it's a testament to the boundless power of compassion, community, and the unwavering belief that change is possible. Through the creation of "Mary's Magic" and the resounding support of the Blood Cancer Foundation of Michigan, we've seen the remarkable impact of coming together with a common goal – to fight leukemia and support those affected by it.


    Mary's journey, her inspiring resilience, and the transformative influence of "Mary's Magic" remind us that the smallest acts of kindness can spark profound change. We hope you've been moved by this story, as we have, and that it serves as a powerful reminder that when compassion and dedication unite, we have the ability to make a lasting difference in the lives of others.
