Personally, I find THC% to be a only one indicator of overall effect. I’m enjoying learning more about terpenes and the abundance of non-psychoactive compounds that contribute to the feeling of each high.

A study by Zentrela and PAX measured brainwaves to determine the main factor that causes psychoactive effects.

Check out this space man!!! We’re over here getting all the final touches ready for you before our customer appreciation weekend/party 💚

It’s been quite the journey – and what’s special about this event is that we’re only able to squeeze in a couple of them before we fully move in. This is one of just a few opportunities for us to share this space with you while it’s empty and freshly beautified. And really, that’s what the entire weekend and event is about; YOU GUYS. Moving into this space, growing and expanding wouldn’t be possible without you guys. Our community means an incredible amount to us and it really does take a village.

Thank you alllll who have believed in us, kept our doors open, left a good review, told your friends about us, spent time with Sparkles, joined us for a grow class, remained patient with me (Brynnen) when I was solo in the shop and didn’t have all the answers, drove far to shop with us, given us ideas on how to expand product, and most importantly, trusted us to help you grow.

Join us for a weekend of discounts, raffles, free gifts, clones, giveaways, gooooood foooood, and making your own rolling trays!!!

October 14th 4-7pm.

CANT WAIT TO HANG IN HERE WITH Y’ALL
