Just Organics: The Brains Behind Stash Kings Sound Off

Hemp has always been a plant of purpose—once prized for rope and textiles, now fueling a fast-growing cannabinoid market shaped by the 2018 Farm Bill. What started with cautious optimism has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar space where passion meets entrepreneurship. We spoke with Logan, founder of Just Organics, about growing his wholesale company into a trusted brand—and expanding it with a retail line, Stash Kings. Launched by a close-knit group of friends in an already crowded market, the business has flourished through persistence, strategic growth, and a foundation of strong relationships.

Can you start by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do?

My name is Logan and I’m one of the owners of Just Organics. Just Organics is our wholesale business—that’s our bread and butter, but we recently launched a brand called Stash Kings. We have a full lineup of hemp products from packaged flower, shatter, and live resin. We’re also launching packaged edibles and vapes soon, which should be out by the time this article is printed. We’re just trying to diversify and move a little more into branded retail products.

What was the drive to start Stash Kings?

We wanted to take more control over the vertical integration. When you’re selling to someone who’s selling to someone else, you lose control. If we’re selling directly to shops and retail, we have more control over the whole process. It’s important for us to provide a great product to our customers, and by having more control over the process we can do that. We started Stash Kings at the beginning of this year, and it’s been going really well so far.

What challenges have you faced with launching the new brand?

I would say it’s a pretty saturated market, so competition is pretty tough. Sometimes it feels like we’re a little late to the game, but we do have advantages as wholesale distributors that other people might not have. We’re able to have better pricing power and can leverage our existing business relationships. I’m very proud of our team’s strong work ethic and the strong network we’ve built. It helps that my business partner is a really talented salesperson.

What makes Stash Kings stand out from the competition?

What separates us from our competitors is our price, consistency, quality, and reliability. Because of our volume and the fact that we’re vertically integrated, we don’t rely on anyone else. That gives us more pricing power and control over quality. We’ve been working hard for years, and that work ethic really shows.

What products are performing best right now?

Packaged flower is our top seller. We also have packaged shatter and live batter, which are products that most other brands don’t carry. We’re pumped for our lineup of edibles and vapes to come out soon. 

Do you have any fun stories or success moments that stand out to you?

I guess just how big the industry’s gotten. My business partner lives in Colombia, and even there, he runs into people connected to the hemp industry. Any city we go to, we meet people who are somehow in the industry. It’s kind of cool—it feels like it’s gotten too big to fail. Even with states trying to change laws or ban things, the momentum is too strong now.

What’s the best way for people to work with you?

They can find us at industry trade shows. We’ll be at all the upcoming ones. Otherwise, people can go to our websites: justorganicshemp.com and stashkings.com.

Anything else you’d want readers to know?

We’re a small company—just a group of friends really—but we’re growing rapidly. It’s been an interesting journey. We’re outgrowing what a small group can handle and transitioning into becoming something much more substantial. We’ve had a lot of success so far, and we’re excited for the future.

You’ve chosen to work in a gray area. You sell products that contain cannabis or cannabis-adjacent substances as well as accessories that can be used to consume it. And while that area has become less gray—you can see rays of sunlight peeking through—the skies are still cloudy. THC remains a Schedule 1 substance, even as medical marijuana has migrated to Schedule 3.
Running a cannabis business is notoriously complicated. For dispensaries, complex compliance burdens permeate every facet of the business, from zoning and licensing to marketing and payments. Whether you’ve been in the cannabis space for mere months or multiple decades, you’ve likely run into drawn-out approval processes, supply chain headaches, or constantly changing regulation that makes compliance challenging, not to mention the other micro and macroeconomic factors that plague all small business owners.

The officials came for Lance Alyas once before. In 2023, they caught him in a sting, seized his merchandise, and tossed him in jail. But just seven days later, after he invoked Hawaii's version of a Freedom of Information Act request, the whole case fell apart. Alyas was released without bail, allowed to simply walk out the door. Now, he’s advocating for freedom from Hawaii’s state officials once again. Only this time, it’s not just his own freedom. As the owner of Oahu’s top-rated smoke shops, he’s fighting for everyone’s right to sell hemp products in the Aloha State.
Born Sara Benetowa in Warsaw, Poland, in 1903, Sula Benet may not be an immediately recognizable name in cannabis spaces today, but she should be. While she primarily studied Polish folk customs, Benet became known for her graduate thesis at the University of Warsaw, titled Hashish in Folk Customs and Beliefs. In the paper, she claims that the plant kaneh bosm—which is referenced throughout the Old Testament and Torah and often translated as “calamus”—actually refers to hemp. Benet’s theory remains both significant and highly controversial today, especially as various religious and evangelical groups continue to demonize the plant.
If the United States were ever a country based on strict adherence to the law, those days are long past. The modern game lies in devising methods to circumvent laws. It’s how the rich avoid taxes, the powerful avoid jail, and industries of all kinds bypass regulations. The paradox is that, despite its ubiquity, it’s not easy to stay beyond the reach of the long arm of the law. Well-moneyed, influential organizations still sometimes misjudge the political and legal playing field and have to pay up. The Sacklers (the family behind Purdue Pharma) eventually were bankrupted by the courts for their role in the opioid epidemic, and officials hit Meta with a $5 billion fine over privacy concerns.
When you walk into a smoke shop today, you might notice the glass cases that once held rolling papers and blunt wraps now display CBD tinctures, functional mushroom capsules, kava elixirs, and hemp-infused sparkling water. The staff might talk to you about terpene profiles, cortisol levels, and a new vape line.
I went home and told my girlfriend, who, after Googling the name of the business I bought it from, told me that, yes, it was technically weed. But it was CBD. She started laughing, telling me I had been ripped off.
