Our Story

TribeTokes Co-founders Degelis + Kymberly are obsessed with developing healthy products with powerful therapeutic effects. After meeting in 2017 at an NYC Women Grow event, they realized they shared the same vision for providing access to clean cannabis products, and for growing a tribe or tight knit community of advocates and enthusiasts – and a partnership was born. 

Years later, they have built TribeTokes to 7-figures with no outside funding; the brand is entirely women-funded, owned and operated. The secret to their success? “Create products you wish existed, present them the way you’d like to receive them, and treat customers how you’d like to be treated.”

Back in 2016, Dege had already begun to pioneer the clean vaping movement. Smoking flower irritated her sensitive respiratory system, and vaping extracts at lower temperatures solved this problem for her. However, there were few trust-worthy vape oil options that were plant-based without unhealthy fillers, additives and artificial flavors. After building a bullet proof supply chain, she launched a strain-specific proprietary line of potent and effective vapes. It wasn’t until the Vape Crisis of 2019 that mainstream media including Rolling Stone and Forbes began to highlight TribeTokes for making cleaner vaping products.

TribeTokes has since applied the clean cannabis concept to other categories, with a “better for you” line of gummies, topicals, tinctures and pet products. In a market lacking transparency, their guiding principle is “Never sell a product you wouldn’t give your own mother or sister.” As cannabis demand continues to grow, Dege and Kym encourage their peers to follow this mantra to make the industry a better place.
