With four decades of combined medical marijuana experience, we’ve assembled a team that knows how to get things done. With wisdom from multiple backgrounds--from health services to education to retail--our team members operate a combined three cultivation licenses and eight dispensary licenses across multiple competitive markets. And in addition, we’ve reached out to business leaders in the medical marijuana industry to create strong community ties, and for guidance in how best to strengthen our business operations in this unique field.
