About Us

HyGyHya Global Industries is revolutionizing the cannabinoid space with the first truly stabilized delivery system that addresses the industry's biggest challenges—instability, inconsistency, and consumer trust. Founded by Marine Corps veteran and agricultural innovator Shawn Sizer alongside renowned chemist Dr. James Woodford, our company developed a proprietary Micro Bio-shield technology that protects cannabinoids from degradation and delivers them directly to the endocannabinoid system. Backed by decades of scientific research, our breakthrough allows for extended shelf life, zero THC conversion, and precise, reliable results—finally making it possible to conduct legitimate studies, create safe, effective medical products, and legitimize the hemp industry on a global scale.

Shawn Sizer

President HyGyHya Global Industries

Mr. Sizer started working at the age of fourteen, working on a strawberry and ginseng farm in Wausau Wisconsin.  After graduation he started his professional career by serving with the United States Marine Corp, stationed primarily at Marine Barracks 8th and I, Presidential Honor Guard with coveted Yankee White Security Clearance in Washington DC from 1992 to 1996. In addition, Mr. Sizer was assigned to Second Marine Division, Second Marine Battalion (Golf 2/2) for a brief stint and was deployed in the Mediterranean region before being honorably discharged.

After serving his country, Mr. Sizer managed the “horticultural aspects” of 63 federal facilities over the course of 18 years for notable facilities, such as the White House Complex, Naval Observatory, J.J. Rowley Training Facility, at the headquarters of the DOJ, FBI, IRS, DOC, GSA, NIH, FTC, DOE, DHS, EPA, Department of Agriculture, Treasury Department, and Tax Court, along with BWI Airport. He managed dozens of staff and subcontractors spread throughout the DC Metropolitan area to ensure the beauty and safety of some of the most historic locations in the US.

In addition to his government contract obligations, Mr. Sizer has always had an entrepreneurial drive. Over the years, Mr. Sizer has started several businesses, from a small landscaping company, a Maryland-certified/licensed plant nursery and a successful CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). As with many entrepreneurs, he failed a few times along the way; yet he learned something valuable each time. In 2013, Mr. Sizer resigned from his government contract duties and focused his energies on a sustainable farming operation, Blue Tomato Farms. His operation very quickly dominated the farm-to-table market in Anne Arundel and Prince George’s Counties in Maryland and became the second largest supplier in Washington, DC, selling sustainably grown vegetables to 525 business and families weekly.

Mr. Sizer applied for a Maryland Medical Cannabis License in 2014. He learned first-hand that security of the cannabis plant itself was a major problem for the cannabis industry. Mr. Sizer set out to find a solution to this worldwide problem and founded 0321 Technologies, LLC.  With the help of Dr. James Woodford, the development of VERITAS-ID was completed in December of 2019.  With our patent pending sensors, VERITAS-ID can “Forensically, Track, Trace and Prove, Point of Origin of anything alive or once alive.”  VERITAS-ID is poised to dominate the regulatory and enforcement aspect of the cannabis industry due to its unique ability to forensically identify individual cannabis plants or products. It effectively provides a biological chain of custody in real-time. By proving a point of origin on the spot, products move through the supply chain or distribution networks already in place with much greater ease and security. VERITAS-TAX-ID platform distinguishes between medical, recreational and black market cannabis, accurately imposing and enforcing the appropriate tax rate for each state or jurisdiction. The VERITAS-IP-ID platform enables cannabis/hemp plant breeders to secure their IP. Ensuring brand protection can increase consumer trust and can generate substantial revenues in the legal market. VERITAS-CBD-ID puts the power of a GC/MS into the hands of end consumers to ensure they are getting quality CBD products with compete medicinal values. VERITAS- THC-ID enables law enforcement to distinguish between, CBD/hemp -.3% THC and THC +.3% THC with a disposable field test and are designed to meet the requirements of the DOJ, CDC and FDA.

In January 2025, Mr. Sizer and Dr. Woodford formed HyGyHya Global Industries and have placed all the technologies in one location.  The forensic progression of VERITAS-ID  helped us discover and perfect the process of cannabinoid stabilization in May of 2022 starting with Cannabidiol (CBD).
