Our goal is to create opportunities for healing, growth, and connection through cannabis, offering a space where people can find support and community.”This transformative journey has led High Society RI to break generational challenges and provide a platform for others to thrive. Duffy and her team work to create safe, welcoming environments where people can gather, learn about cannabis, and engage responsibly.

Duffy and her team take pride in fostering a space where individuals can connect, share experiences, and grow together in a positive, inclusive environment.At the heart of High Society RI is a strong sense of loyalty—to the community and to one another. “We believe in loyalty, and that extends to everyone we work with,” says Duffy. “We want to bring others along on our journey, ensuring that we are creating opportunities that empower people. It’s about more than just cannabis; it’s about creating a supportive movement for all.”With a clear mission to break down barriers and reshape the narrative surrounding cannabis, High Society RI is excited about the future.
