Exciting announcement!

They join a growing movement, both locally and nationally, of cannabis workers organizing to build and secure good jobs for their futures and communities, and come together to work towards better fulfilling their company motto, “Worry Free.”

Sydney Anderson, a Patient Counselor, said, “It has been a tremendous honor to be a part of something that not only benefits my coworkers and I, but sets precedent for ethical cannabis sale and consumption nationwide.”
