Goodship is a Seattle cannabis business, founded in 2016 by Jody Hall, a former Starbucks executive.[1][2] Hall also founded Cupcake Royale, a six-location cupcake chain in Seattle.[3]

Goodship's "Higher education" lecture series began in 2015.[4] According to High Times, it's "like college, but you don't have to pretend you're not stoned."[5]

The company was purchased in 2017 by Privateer Holdings,[2][6] and in 2018, announced expansion into California.[7]
