Staff Testimonial
“I’ve had a really amazing experience so far. The vendor training we’ve had has really helped me understand the depth of the various cannabis products we are selling and how to determine what to look for in order to create the effects you want. It has been really interesting to learn the science behind the plant and how there is a product for every customer to enjoy!”
