About The Hypothetical Medical Co.
The Hypothetical Medical Co. ("H-Med" for short) is on a mission to dispel misconceptions about herbal medicine. Herbal medicine like cannabis for example- has become an important medicinal option for millions of adults recently; and to many, these practices are still taboo. H-Med hopes to de-stigmatize these views via our OCEAN Initiative.
The “OCEAN Initiative” is our strategy for de-stigmatization; each letter stands for a different strategy: Outreach, Community, Education, Advocacy, & Normalization. You can learn more about the initiative by clicking on the beach image below or watching one of our videos.
Our H-Med YouTube channel provides entertainment & educational content. We show best-practices and offer a range of resources for learning about herbal medicine to make informed decisions; but it also serves as a platform for our community to share personal stories & experiences. We believe that "Positive Proximity" - being close to someone who has benefited from this medicine - is the best way to change minds and eliminate negative stereotypes. This is one of our core tactics in de-stigmatizing outdated ‘reefer-madness’ based opinions.
An illustration of "Positive Proximity" is how older Americans rarely alter long-held opinions on difficult subjects like race, religion, or sexual preferences. Simply put, most substantial change only occurs when a loved one—a child, relative, etc.—challenges that viewpoint finally prompting reconsideration. This is because they may listen to a loved one's reasoning instead of defending their own long-held views because they know this person, and their values. It breaks through the noise when evidence is presented from a familiar source.
This is how Positive Proximity is our ultimate tool to change minds; therefore, this is why we use our platform to lift every voice in a positive manner. Helping enough people share their voice as a #Streamer, #ContentCreator; or even just providing great, sharable info for social media ultimately helps our goal of de-stigmatization. That is the OCEAN Initiative in action.
To do this, H-Med is dedicated to helping others find their voice not only through our content; but also with our platform we are building. As we grow our platform, we grow our community. H-Med is also a free advertiser for streamers & content creators enabling them to advertise our merch to get a stipend for each sale (we have AD Overlays like the above image). In addition, we provide space in OUR estore for their OWN merch. Check out our DDD Streamers page for more information and our HUGE free resource at the bottom of the page. We collaborate with streamers of all sizes, including those with 0 followers (we’ll be your first!)... as long as there is mutual fit, they are 420 friendly (for age & demographic reasons), and willing to work with our activist brand; they can apply.
If you are or know of a streamer that isn't monetized yet & needs a little help; share our page! They can sign up to sell our merch using a creator code to have us list &/or design a special shirt or other merch for their community. We offer up to 2 slots in our estore; and we even help you set it up to sell it on your own website (with 5 lines of HTML) as well. The best part? When the streamer/creator “graduates” and wants to sell on their own; we give them all rights to their merch when ready to launch their own store.
Regarding the profits; H-Med also puts 💯% of the profits from our YouTube channel, including: ads, video merch sales, sponsorships, and even advertiser contracts --every dollar funded through the channel goes towards funding more content for our community. If our channel becomes large & profitable enough over time; proceeds go to community events, prizes, concerts, partner sponsorships, & more. We already have some goofy 420 merch on our eStore; of which 75% of profits from the H-Med Merch & 100% of profits from H-Med Media (with the eventual goal of 100% for all sections) also fund community goals & content creation.
We’re not just a YouTube channel, we’ve built a platform of perpetually self-funded content for our fans.
👉So, please like & subscribe & we'll keep making more!
You may ask: How can H-Med do this?
We are profitable through other monetization strategies. Full disclosure, other sections in our estore are for our private company using social media advertising. Some of other products for example, such as our "CannaColor #420: Adult Coloring Book" and the anti-anxiety STONE®️ Series games to help chill out a tense sesh. In addition to merch, the ownership of H-Med has two innovative products: the Puff-Pal (AKA "The World's Greatest Roach Clip") and "BUD-E Bags: Archival Storage System" for flower/edible storage bags with instant review capabilities on the back of the bags. These are only available on our unaffiliated external sites; they are not part of our regular estore due to stricter access control (21+ Site).
These other revenue sources allow us to put all YouTube channel proceeds & the aforementioned Merch & Media sections to fund content for our fans; while the business is self-sustaining in the background through these other avenues. We've built this to be a platform; built for scalability & longterm benefit of & for our fans and other content creators; so please visit our YouTube community page and let us know what content you want to see us cover next!

H-Med's O.C.E.A.N. initiative
We at The Hypothetical Medical Company believe in eliminating any remaining negative stereotypes for smokable medicine. Responsible adults preferring to use CBD, Delta8 & Delta9, Kratom, and Medical MJ consumption should not come with any negative connotations.
Responsible use does not make an executive less professional, an intellectual less educated, or a "responsible adult" into anything other than a "responsible adult" -- the same as with other medicines. We don't look down at people responsibly using opiates for pain, we don't stereotype people using anxiety medications; and smokable medicine can assist for both of these. But...
We also live in a dangerous time... overprescribing opiates is rampant, especially in the USA.
Pills are a great tool; but they can be abused and overused. The amount of harm caused by unintended interactions or adverse effects resulted in 1.3 million adults going to US Emergency Rooms in 2019 alone. Add to that the staggering statistics of the opioid epidemic: In 2017, US providers wrote > 191 million opioid prescriptions for pain medications - equal to 1 prescription for 91% of adults in the US!
Some Scary Facts About Opioids:
At one point the U.S. had 81.3 opioid dispensing prescriptions per 100 persons. Over 80%!*
USA is about 4.4% of the world's population but consumes over 80% of the world's opioids*
From 1999-2017 almost 218,000 people in the US died from overdoses related to prescription opioids*
So, WHY WOULDN'T WE ADVOCATE FOR SMOKABLE MEDICINE!
We are not against opioids, but pills are not the only answer... why work with one hand behind our back!
The medicinal qualities of cbd, kratom, Delta8/9, in addition to the medicinal benefits of other smokable medicines are well known. New studies show these formerly illicit items can greatly improve the lives of trauma survivors, military vets, even children with seizures.
These are new studies but not new findings; as medical practitioners have used various parts of the Cannabis plant since 500 BCE! New research on things like psychedelics & microdosing are already showing many outdated views were based on emotion-- not on facts; while more dangerous items like Alcohol & Cigarettes are killing thousands yet are labelled as "safe vices for responsible adults." Abusing any substance is dangerous -- it can be fatal drinking too much water -- so there should be regulations... but we should be studying how these can better lives, not demonizing early adopters.
We design and offer fun and functional devices for adult medical and recreational consumption.
Our approach to normalization is familiarization; we hope to help eliminate any remaining negative stereotypes of these newly approved forms of medicine. As it becomes more of everyday life, we hope to help make these changes more widely accepted and no longer a taboo subject. By making jokes and whimsical products to make medicine 'fun', it can help change views.
As more and more research comes out showing the benefits of smokable medicine, microdosing, etc.; the large studies will solidify the legitimate merits over time. We at The Hypothetical Medical Company believe our strategy is like the chewable candy-vitamins available in fun cartoon characters for children... sometimes a little fun with your medicine makes it a bit easier to take. We can make fun of our self, but we take our advocacy seriously. Fun & Medicine... who says we can't have both?
how does H-Med plan to help with the Normalization of Smokable Medicine?
We do so through our OCEAN Initiative; our 5 point strategy; in addition achieving normalization by making it a fun part of everyday life. Yes, we make silly stoner joke decals & shirts; but we do this to help destigmatize Smokable Medicine using humor & fun/silly products.
What is our OCEAN Initiative? It's our Five Point Strategy to achieve normalization:
Outreach - Spreading the word of Smokable Medicine to gain awareness
Community - Our Discord channel to share knowledge, ideas, & to have fun
Education - We produce educational Smokable Medicine content
Advocacy - Interviews, etc for the destigmatization of Smokable Medicine
Normalization - Our goal: eliminate the few remaining stereotypes

Our Flagship Products
(This is how we monetize)
These are the items that fund our company, not our content. We are a for-profit company; but all our Content is perpetually refunded through it's own profits.
The Puff-Pal
Our flagship product is the Puff-Pal and people love it for three reasons: it saves your fingers from burns while preventing wasted smokable medicine, it’s very durable yet inexpensive, & finally, it’s just easy to use.
This item is the Medicinal Multi-tool for adult consumption, a leafy leatherman. But it's not 'just a roach clip' it has 7 different uses:
#7 Stay High Keep Dry Keep your flower from getting wet on a table
#6 Mesh-Molder (Screen Shaper) Mold 2 sizes of mesh screens for your big & small rigs
#5 Pack-A-Bowl 14mm post & 2mm tip allow packing big bowls & small bats

#1 The Worlds Best Roach Clip "If you can no longer hold your roach, just make a fist"
The PUFF-PAL is an all-metal durable design that is less than $15. It will save your fingers, and also prevent burn holes in your clothes.
If you have a loved one with arthritis that uses smokable medicine, this is a game-changer. All you need is a fist, and you can use the PUFF-PAL. If you have trouble pinching or are losing dexterity in your hands... get a Puff-Pal!

Bud-E Bags
Our second product is our Bud-E Bags - the E is for Entry. These are not just bags, they're an entire archival storage system in one.
The bags allow you to store your items (edibles, carts, flower) in a light-blocking pouch that you can write what type/flavor/strain as well as a date on the outside. On the back is our patented #QMR Quick Mini Review system, which you can quickly score each type or strain.
When done, keep the bags with your reviews of all your favorite strains; they also become a personal buying guide for future purchases. In the future we hope to have a web database and feature to upload to store & share reviews!

We know this "About Us" page was too long... a 'standard company about us page' is 2-3 paragraphs & fits 'above the fold.' Who cares!
This page was long as hell, but nobody reads these things anyway.
