To the vibrant communities of Hunt County, Texas, from Greenville to Commerce, from Wolfe City to Quinlan, and across the peaceful landscapes surrounding Lake Tawakoni and the Sabine River – we at Wyatt Purp are excited to introduce ourselves and our mission rooted in the heart of Texas. While our physical dispensary doors are open in Denton, not far from your beautiful county’s borders, our commitment to providing safe, natural, and legally compliant cannabis products extends far and wide, reaching fellow Texans like yourselves who appreciate quality and integrity.

Our journey began with our founder, Wyatt Larew, whose profound personal experience ignited a spiritual mission. In 2019, Larew faced a life-threatening kidney transplant, a period of intense struggle that included a near-death encounter. During what he describes as seeing the afterlife and receiving divine guidance, a new purpose emerged: to share the profound benefits of the cannabis plant with the world. For us, cannabis is more than just a plant; it’s what Larew calls “the flower of life,” a spiritual entity deeply connected to our very being. He often reminds us that “Every mammal has an endocannabinoid system,” emphasizing that this intricate system, inherent in our DNA, controls our central nervous system and immune system. It truly is a fundamental part of what makes us Homo sapiens. Our philosophy is built on the belief that humans were created through intelligent design to utilize this powerful plant, viewing it not merely as a recreational substance but as an essential medicine.

Pioneering Legal Compliance and Industry Transformation in Texas

From our humble beginnings in 2020, Wyatt Purp, co-founded by Wyatt Larew and Dustin Ragon, has been at the forefront of the cannabis industry, particularly within Texas. We proudly hold Texas hemp producer license No. 413, a testament to our unwavering commitment to legal compliance. Initially, Larew considered manufacturing synthetic isomers like delta-8, but after careful consultation with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), he strategically shifted our direction. This deliberate choice underscored our dedication to operating strictly within state and federal guidelines, ensuring every product we offer is 100% DSHS and DEA-compliant, aligning perfectly with The 0.3% Delta-9 THC Law / Farm-Bill Act.

Our comprehensive licensing as a producer, processor, manufacturer, transporter, and distributor allows us to oversee every step of our product’s journey, from cultivation to your hands. This meticulous approach ensures that all our Cannabis Sativa L products meet not only stringent US regulations but also are legal in many countries worldwide. This makes Wyatt Purp one of the first truly international cannabis companies, a remarkable achievement that underscores our deep understanding of the Controlled Substances Act, allowing us legitimate access to banking systems and international commerce—a significant hurdle for many in our industry.

What truly sets us apart is what Larew has coined “the greatest up-cycle in human history.” We discovered a revolutionary method to convert mother liquor, a waste byproduct from CBD isolate production, into natural Delta-9 THC. Traditionally, this mother liquor was discarded, a costly environmental problem for CBD manufacturers. Larew’s groundbreaking innovation transformed this waste into a valuable resource, isolating natural THC at an incredibly efficient cost of “$50 for 1 million milligrams.” This technological breakthrough didn’t just solve an environmental problem; it completely reshaped the industry’s economics, turning what was once considered trash into a valuable commodity. This “multi-billion dollar technology” allows us to produce superior, purer, and more affordable natural cannabis products, challenging the monopolies that prioritize profit over consumer well-being and natural plant medicine. We’ve also perfected the production of 90% distillate from this repurposed mother liquor, ensuring highly effective products while maintaining our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Championing Natural Cannabis and Advocating for Our Communities

Our commitment extends beyond innovation and compliance; it’s a passionate advocacy for natural cannabis. Wyatt Larew has been an outspoken critic of synthetic cannabis, frequently reminding us that users of lab-derived THCs “may as well be lab rats.” He emphasizes the critical lack of regulation governing the creation of these synthetic compounds and the unknown long-term effects of ingesting them. We believe firmly that “when you manufacture a drug, whether it’s delta 9 or delta 8 or any other synthetic isomer, you’re manufacturing a drug that replicates or is just like marijuana, and the intent behind that is that you manufactured a schedule 1 drug.” Our mission is to educate and empower consumers to choose natural, safe options.

Larew has taken his message to influential platforms, including the Cannabinoid Connect podcast (#400: “Defying the Trend: Wyatt Purp’s Quest for Natural Cannabis & Battle Against Synthetics”), where he shared his journey and highlighted the urgent need to fight against synthetic THCs, making “natural not just a choice but a mission.”

As an industry authority, Larew frequently serves as a key expert witness in major cannabis industry legal battles, defending intellectual property and advocating for natural cannabis. His invaluable expertise was demonstrated in the high-profile Sweet Sensi vs. CENTEX CBD case, where his deep technical knowledge of cannabis processing and the distinctions between natural and synthetic cannabinoids proved pivotal. The court recognized his essential role, even imposing sanctions on opposing counsel for attempting to prevent his testimony. This acknowledgment reinforces his standing as a leading voice shaping the future of hemp innovation in Texas and beyond.

We believe in responsible regulation over outright prohibition. Larew actively opposes blanket hemp product bans, aligning with Governor Abbott’s call for sensible regulation. At Wyatt Purp, we practice self-regulation, implementing strict 21+ age verification protocols and secure product storage, setting a standard for the industry. We understand the frustrations of our fellow Texans, recognizing that the current landscape often seems geared towards government monopolies. As Larew often states, “The delta 8 and hemp thing in Texas was just a soft release of cannabis to get the people here to accept it. This was their incremental way of wedging their way in. Now, they want to sell licenses to pharmaceutical companies and not allow anyone else to be part of it. The state wants to have a monopoly on cannabis productions.” Through platforms like LinkedIn, we actively engage in political discourse, advocating for comprehensive cannabis reform and criticizing corporate capture of our industry.
