For The Future
Here at Strategic Acquisitions International,
We’re not just staying ahead of the future.
We’re aiming to create it.
A new age of infused product formulation is upon us. New discoveries in manufacturing methods and compound blending we believe will be the primary forces to paving the road to a better future for consumers around the world, driven by health brands focusing on the supplement, nutraceutical, and beverage markets.
This growing industry is rooted in the simple notion that these naturally occurring compounds will not only take the place of expensive, synthetic pharmaceutical drugs in some cases, but allow consumers and patients to take back control of their psychological and physical health.
Here at SAI, our intention is to acquire and grow cutting-edge companies whose primary objective is to combine the powerful effects of Hemp-derived compounds with the best, scientifically backed ingredients which consumers value in their alternative healthcare journey.

Our Brand Family
A wholly owned subsidiary of SAI, CGE was formed in May of 2020 for the purpose of becoming a competitive market contender in the refinement and extraction of legal cannabis on the open market. With the lower costs of CBD, which is available on a massive scale due to over-production of hemp in the last few years, CGE aims to use the immense availability of cheap CBD Isolate to our advantage by converting it into exotic cannabinoids such as Delta 8 THC (legal in 48 states) along with CBC, CBN, and CBG (legal across the USA and most other countries), all of which have a higher degree of scarcity. These cannabinoids command a much higher price point, while the conversion process costs a relatively meager amount comparative to the profits they allow for.
CGE’s laboratory in our 17,000 sq. ft. facility in Orlando, FL is currently in production, converting CBD into Delta 8 THC, the first cannabinoid we intend to bring to market. Additionally, we are implementing our first retail product line, “Journey Hemp Co.”, a subsidiary of CGE which will retail Delta 8 THC Vaporizer products nationally for mass consumption. How is this made possible? Thanks to our world-class team, including our in-house Engineer who previously manufactured parts for Boeing and SpaceX, a Masters Degree-certified Chemist who is helping us stay on the cutting edge of cannabinoid manipulation technology, building on over 20 years of real-world organic chemistry experience, and a Marketing expert with an 8-year track record in Politics, Public Service, and Data Analytics.
We are Journey Hemp Co., and our mission is to bring relief, relaxation, and euphoria to our customers. Journey Hemp Co. is excited to bring the future of Alternative Healthcare to your stores. Below we will detail what our product does, why we are different, and why you can’t wait to carry Journey Hemp Co. Delta-8 products!
Our industry leading laboratory, and the brilliant chemists within, have come up with a novel solution: our Delta-8 Olive Oil! We use proprietary technology to refine, extract, and distill our Delta-8 at a purity-level no other manufacturer has met, ensuring customers get an FDA approved and byproduct-free experience. Then, that D8 is suspended in Olive oil which makes it surprisingly stable (as well as tasty), and ensures that chefs old and new are easily able to apply D8! A few dropperfuls in baked recipes, or even used to dress a salad can easily gain customers all the effects of D8. either as a sleep aid or pain reliever, or just to enjoy a higher quality of life!
At SAI, we are constantly expanding our portfolio to provide ROI to our members!
