Stewart's Passion is on a mission to tell you about the Louisville destination for your hemp remedies . Meet Dee Dee Taylor, a passionate entrepreneur & Owner of 502 Hemp. 502 Hemp opened in 2018 to have a brick and mortar store for people to come in and be educated and sell John Taylor's (Dee Dee's Husband) quality products! Their story is one of resilience, advocacy, and a commitment to providing high-quality hemp products to the community.
A Local Beginning
Dee Dee's roots trace back to Middletown, Ohio, where she was born and raised. After graduating from Lebanon High School, she pursued her studies at The College of Mount St. Joseph, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Paralegal Studies. Her career as a paralegal and office manager in Ohio and Kentucky was commendable, but her life took a turn when she moved to Middletown, Kentucky, in 2010 to be with her husband, John, and his daughter.
A Natural Alternative Discovery
John's health struggles with Grand Mal seizures prompted Dee Dee to seek a natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs. Unsatisfied with the negative side effects of conventional medications, the couple embarked on a journey to explore CBD oils. John traveled west to learn about the production of CBD oils, leading to a life-changing discovery. After incorporating CBD products into his routine, John experienced a significant reduction in seizures, marking a turning point in their lives.
Building a Legacy in Hemp
In 2014, with the launch of Kentucky's Hemp Pilot program, John & his business partner became the first licensed processors. Since then, 502 Hemp has been dedicated to producing quality, safe hemp products using Kentucky-grown hemp.
Top-Selling Hemp Products and Their Unique Features
When asked about their best-selling products, Dee Dee highlighted four customer favorites:
-
DzD9 Watermelon Chill: Boasting a 1:1 CBD to THC ratio, this product offers a balanced and relaxing experience.
-
DzD9 Black Cherry: Known for its uplifting effects, this blend incorporates THC and THCV for a unique and energizing experience.

Innovation and Community Support

Promotions and Advocacy
502 Hemp encourages first-time customers to sign up for their loyalty program, offering a 10% discount and points for future purchases. Dee Dee also emphasizes the community's role in advocating for hemp-friendly legislation, as witnessed during the successful campaign against the potential ban on Delta 8.
Future Incorporation of Cannabinoids
When asked about future plans, Dee Dee mentioned the inclusion of CBG in their latest product, Strawberry Feels. This blend of CBD and CBG aims to uplift without the high, providing potential pain relief. While hesitant about certain cannabinoids like HHC and THCP, 502 Hemp prioritizes wellness over recreational use, ensuring all products undergo rigorous testing for quality assurance.
