- High Sierra Technologies, Inc. (HSTI) develops and licenses proprietary patented technologies for producing low-odor cannabis and hemp products for the medical, recreational, and industrial sectors. The company's core offerings include low-odor cannabis and hemp suitable for smoking or as base materials for manufacturing flavored cannabis and hemp products such as menthol-infused variants, smokable hemp cigarettes, and related consumer goods including gummies; its intellectual property encompasses the plant material itself, production processes, and derivative products created using these technologies. HSTI markets its innovations under the Hush Puppy™ brand and holds multiple United States patents (Nos. 10,737,198; 10,835,839; 11,338,222), as well as corresponding patents in Canada (No. 3,031,123) and Europe (No. EP3743055).
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Reno, Nevada, the company operates primarily in North America, with licensing and marketing efforts focused on the United States cannabis market, including California, and potential expansion into Canada and Europe.
In recent developments, HSTI announced its first U.S. patent licensing agreement in August 2025 with Seventh Wave, LLC for producing substantially low-odor marijuana products, marking the initial commercial utilization of its technologies in California's consumer marketplace. The company successfully launched its Hush Puppy™ branded low-odor marijuana cigarettes, expanding availability to 10 dispensaries across California by mid-2025 following a debut at the Hall of Flowers trade show in March 2025. Additional advancements include a November 2025 Issue Notification for a new U.S. patent and ongoing efforts to pair licensing with mandatory Hush Puppy™ branding through state-level trademarks.
