Ryan Hedrick began in the legal cannabis space in 2012 in Boulder, CO after moving from Philadelphia. After producing The Adam Dunn show for 3 years and working in all environments in the Colorado market, Ryan started his own licensed extraction company in Denver in 2015. Since then, Ryan has drafted over a half dozen successful cannabis applications in 4+ legal state markets. Ryan has designed, built, and operationalized cultivation, extraction, processing, and distribution facilities in Colorado, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, and Jamaica to name a few. Ryan specializes in brand partnerships that help the success of his clients and licensees in a rather saturated market. In Illinois alone, Mr. Hedrick is responsible for bringing reputable brands such as Evol by rapper Future, Poetry of Plants, Sour Family Farms, and more, to the state of Illinois under his Legacy Illinois umbrella. Ryan created and has helped build Legacy Illinois to be the the second largest independent cannabis brand in IL by total sales, as well as the number 2 and number 3 independent brand in total gummy and pre-roll sales. Mr Hedrick’s dedication to the plant and the industry is relentless and he doesn’t plan on stopping the forward motion of the cannabis culture any time soon.
