At a glance
Higher Breed is a Michigan-rooted cannabis retailer and vape brand built around large-format, strain-specific devices. The business began in Breedsville, later expanded retail licensing to South Haven, and now markets vapes for Michigan and New Jersey under its “Cultured Cannabis” positioning.
Origins and history
The company says its journey began as a cannabis retailer in Breedsville, Michigan. Regional tourism records date the operation to 2017 and identify its former name as Breedsville Provision Center. Michigan’s licensing records connect Breedsville Provision Center LLC to the Higher Breed trade name.
Founders and ownership
Higher Breed’s public brand pages do not identify a founder. A Better Business Bureau profile lists Thomas Tamandl as a principal of Breedsville Provision Center LLC, but that is not enough to label him the founder. The profile therefore preserves the verified company history without inventing a founder narrative.
Retail roots
The original Breedsville dispensary is at 77 East Main Street. A 2024 Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency report also records approval for a Higher Breed adult-use retailer at 10010 Blue Star Highway in South Haven. Store inventories can include flower, edibles, concentrates and topicals from multiple producers; that retail assortment should not be confused with Higher Breed’s own branded products.
Current products
The house product line is centered on disposable vapes. Its current site advertises 4-gram devices in Michigan and says 3-gram vapes are coming to New Jersey. Named flavors or strain profiles include Grape Gelato, Watermelon Skittlez and Super Silver Haze. The product page describes the oil as a live-resin-and-distillate mixture.
Manufacturing and testing
Higher Breed says it oversees formulation, testing and packaging and uses third-party laboratory testing. Those are company claims, not an independent certification. Consumers should use the batch label or QR code to match a device to its current certificate of analysis rather than relying on a general brand description.
Markets and availability
The company describes itself as licensed in Michigan and New Jersey, but cannabis products are manufactured and licensed within each state rather than shipped across state lines. The exact licensee on a package may differ by market. Michigan retail licenses are publicly traceable; New Jersey availability should be confirmed through a licensed retailer or state database.
Awards and recognition
No organizer-published competition award for Higher Breed was located in this research pass. Regional tourism coverage supports its history and local presence, but it is not an award. Unsupported “award-winning” language has therefore been excluded.
Safety and regulatory record
Michigan’s CRA maintains public recall bulletins and license verification tools. No recall is attributed here unless the regulator names the brand or licensed manufacturer and affected batch. Large-format vapes should be stored and charged exactly as labeled, and only products from licensed retailers belong in this profile.
What to know before buying. Higher Breed is best understood as a value-focused vape label grown out of a southwest Michigan dispensary business. Verify the state, package size, oil type, licensee and batch COA at purchase; the New Jersey 3-gram format was still described as forthcoming on the current brand site.
