Our Story

TribeTokes started in 2017 at an NYC Women Grow event. Degelis and Kymberly got to talking, realized they were chasing the same thing (clean cannabis products, plus a real tribe of people who actually care about what they consume), and a partnership was born.

Years later, they’ve built TribeTokes into a 7-figure brand with zero outside funding. Entirely women-funded, owned, and operated. Ask them how they did it and the answer is simple: “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.” (Oh, and work your booty off.)

The clean cannabis obsession started a year earlier. Back in 2016, Dege was already pioneering the clean vaping movement. Smoking flower was rough on her lungs, but vaping extracts at lower temperatures worked. The catch? Most vape oils on the market were full of fillers, additives, and artificial flavors. So she built her own supply chain from scratch and launched a strain-specific vape line that was actually plant-based and actually potent.

Then 2019 happened. The Vape Crisis exposed an industry full of shady manufacturing practices, and mainstream media (Rolling Stone, Forbes) started looking for the brands doing it right. TribeTokes was already there.

The clean cannabis principle has since extended across the lineup: gummies, topicals, tinctures, even pet products. The guiding rule hasn’t changed: “Never sell a product you wouldn’t give your own mother or sister.” In a category that still struggles with transparency, Dege and Kym want their peers to hold the same standard. The industry gets better when more brands actually mean it.
