Erin Gray
Owner of Healing Hemp of Arkansas
Erin Gray has been a part of Arkansas’s medical marijuana industry from the very beginning. She is an original investor in one of Arkansas’s first dispensaries, and now owns Healing Hemp of Arkansas (established 2018.) Gray decided to get into the cannabis market because she believes Arkansas needs medication alternatives and spaces dedicated to patient education. “It’s incredibly fulfilling when a customer returns to share their story of finding relief after years of struggling with pain or anxiety. Many of them have been able to wean off the opiates and benzodiazepines they’ve relied on for years, breaking free from the cycle of one prescription after another … To see people regain control of their health in a more natural, holistic way is one of the most rewarding aspects of this industry.”
Gray’s passion for patient progress is funneled into her work at Healing Hemp. Her prioritization of only high-quality products has made the store one of the most trusted in the state. She says the secret to staying abreast of a rapidly changing market is a consistent focus on customer care, product integrity and lab testing. “The industry needs to be regulated more carefully, focusing on age restrictions, ensuring the quality of products and providing thorough education to consumers on the best ways to use these products safely and effectively.”
