Long before its prohibition, growing hemp was an American tradition. American Original Hemp honors that tradition, and the liberation of growing and using hemp.
Nathen and Shelby Maxwell founded AO Hemp to affirm their shared passion for cannabis. Throughout his storied career as an internationally recognized musician with the RIAA certified Gold and Platinum-selling band Flogging Molly, Nathen has been a dedicated advocate for cannabis. Shelby discovered the benefits of CBD after studying the phytocannabinoid, and became committed to spreading the word about its impact on her health and wellbeing.
Together, Nathen and Shelby knew they wanted to bring hemp and its benefits to the public with AO Hemp—a CBD brand dedicated to the heart-centered values of tradition, liberty, and compassion.
AO Hemp is sun-grown, hand-harvested and carefully cured. Young plants are tended to in greenhouses before being transplanted to mature under the Colorado sun for optimal CBD production. Once harvested, the hemp is extracted and refined before undergoing rigorous testing for cannabinoid potency, contaminants, and shelf stability.
AO Hemp products include CBD-rich oral tinctures, capsules, and a pain relief lotion. The line will soon expand to include lozenges, gummies, tattoo balms and CBD for pets—with one offering specially made for large-breed dogs (in honor of their great dane, Chief.)
Valuing the DIY philosophy of their punk rock community, Nathen and Shelby aim to inspire, educate, and provide quality, affordable CBD to those who cannot produce it themselves. AO Hemp puts people first, honoring hemp heroes like Jack Herer, Willie Nelson, and the late, great Bob Marley—advocates for the truth, liberation, and education of the many benefits of cannabis. “To us, hemp is the healing of the nation,” the couple says.
