Hi I'm Ryan Sprague

I am the founder of Highly Optimized and the creator of the Coach With Cannabis Certification, Breathe With Cannabis, and the Conscious Cannabis Collective. Over the last 15 years, I’ve helped more than 5,000 high-performers, leaders, and coaches stop using cannabis to numb out, and start using it to level up.

My entire perspective on this plant shifted when I used it to support my father through the end of his life. That profound experience stripped away all the noise and showed me what cannabis truly is: not an escape, but a psycho-spiritual mirror and powerful tool when used consciously and intentionally for transformation and healing.  

Today, my mission is simple: I help people unlearn their conditioning through conscious Cannabis, mindset work and holistic health principles so they can reclaim their sovereign identity.  

This isn't about getting high. It’s about learning how to stop surviving a life that feels misaligned, and finally acquiring the tools to architect a life of true purpose, clarity, and power.

I am the founder of Highly Optimized and creator of the Coach With Cannabis Certification, a program that teaches coaches how to harness the power of Cannabis—safely, legally, and intentionally. But my mission goes beyond the plant—it’s about helping people break free from limitations & embody their fullest potential. Supporting my father at the end of his life showed me how disconnected we are—from ourselves, loved ones & the world. But I also discovered Cannabis, when used with intention, can be a bridge back to true connection. This isn’t just about Cannabis, it’s about self-actualization & stepping into who we are meant to be. With 15+ years in plant medicine & holistic health, I’ve helped 5,000+ people build a conscious relationship with this sacred ally—not as an escape, but as a tool for growth & transformation. Because when we reconnect with ourselves, we unlock true alignment, purpose, and impact.
