Our Culture
We believe CBD is for all. Which is why we don’t want to only sell you CBD products. We want to educate people, whether customers wind up buying something from us or not, about the many benefits of CBD. The products we carry are curated, and thoroughly vetted. We personally know the manufacturers of each. And we believe in sourcing locally from the community, as part of our farm to pharmacy offering. We invite everyone interested in learning more to stop by our store. Because we’ll be here, spreading the good word about CBD, one person at a time.

both the hemp and cannabis industry. A native of Los Angeles, Dashone holds over 12 years of legal
