Stevens saw budtending as the perfect blend of his love for Cannabis and his passion for meaningful conversation.
Switching to weed pretty much saved my life. That’s why I’m so passionate about it.
Don’t be ashamed of where you come from. Your story is valid and la medicina marijuana connects us all.
“Curiosity in a new industry is what sparked my interest in working with Cannabis.”
There's no way I would have gotten so far if I wasn't trying to learn about brands and try new products.
About half the inventory is DOH-certified, which qualifies patients for huge savings over traditionally taxed Cannabis.
"There was truly nothing in the world I wanted to do more than work in the Cannabis field."
I’ve always been driven to helping people, so I love that I’ve found that here.
“I'd like to level up in the industry and start representing one of the companies I look up to.”
It’s exciting to see the industry move in such a positive direction, and I’m proud to be part of it.
“I’m grateful that I have my own experience to draw from to better help them with theirs.”
“I’m a natural healer, I have it in my heart.”
“I never imagined myself in this field, which speaks to how diverse and inclusive the Cannabis industry can be."
I traveled across the country driving state to state in search of knowledge that wasn’t readily available to me.
“I just want to spread the good word of Cannabis to the people.”
I really enjoy how the dispensary and the marketing team make an effort to benefit the community through our drives.
“I’m glad to be in the business so I can be more educated and honor them.”
