As former general manager of three Arena Football League teams, Reggie Harris knows the importance of going on offense.
So, in 2021, when Harris and his team launched House of Kush, a Kansas City, Missouri-based company that sells cannabis-plant genetics via seedlings and licensing deals, he didn’t wait for clients to come find him.
“Primarily, we’re going out seeking them,” Harris said.
Today, House of Kush genetics are growing in six states – Arizona, California, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri and Oklahoma – and will be in three or four more states within the next six months, Harris said. The company also has entered a deal to sell its genetics to Colombia-based cannabis firm Clever Leaves.
House of Kush genetics already have garnered kudos. California-based Statehouse Holdings (formerly Harborside) won sixth place in the 2022 Emerald Cup’s Sungrown Greenhouse Flower category using House of Kush’s SFV OG strain.
House of Kush’s latest partnership is with SunMed Growers in Warwick, Maryland, one of the largest cultivators in the state. Harris reached out to SunMed CEO Jake Van Wingerden in late 2021, and flower grown by SunMed using House of Kush genetics started selling in Maryland dispensaries in January.
“We looked to see who’s the biggest and the best, who’s got the best reputation for growing, who’s got the volume capacity that we can grow with,” Harris said.
