About Dark Horse

There's A Dark Horse In All Of Us

Launched in 2021 by lifelong best friends Casey Flippo (CEO) and Sean Clarkson (Chief Strategy Officer), Dark Horse Cannabis swiftly made its mark as a pioneering entity within the cannabis sector. United by a zeal for holistic wellness and a forward-thinking outlook, the founders leveraged their combined expertise in business and agriculture to position Dark Horse Cannabis at the forefront of product superiority and community involvement. Initiated in the Arkansas cannabis scene, Dark Horse rapidly ascended to a leading position, earning widespread recognition and trust. By the close of 2022, they expanded into the Missouri recreational cannabis market, and currently, Dark Horse boasts a significant presence in Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi, spanning both wholesale and retail aspects. Headquartered in Northwest Arkansas, the company is committed to setting new benchmarks in quality and consumer engagement, epitomizing integrity and innovation across the states where it operates.
