How and when did your dispensary start up?

We started July 22, 2016, once the moratorium in Pierce County was lifted on July 1, 2016.

What’s the story behind the name of your dispensary?

It was just three friends sitting back in the backyard discussing names and we came up with it. We figured cannabis is a natural plant that comes from the earth and is a blessing to have.

What does your dispensary offer patients that they can’t find anywhere else?

We offer a home feel. It’s comfortable like your living room, and we offer prices that fit everyone’s budget.

How has the cannabis industry in Washington changed since you have been in the business?  Where would you like to see it go?

It has helped and hurt some.  Glad that it makes people aware that there are healthier alternatives than using synthetic drugs that can hurt your body. We would like to see it legalized in every state.

What are the biggest challenges you face in this industry as a dispensary? Biggest joys?

Being so small. We are a little quick-stop for people, but we work with the space that was given to us.

Anyone that I can help to make their day better is complete satisfaction for me.

What is the one thing you want patients to know about your dispensary?

You can come here and know that you will be taken care of completely. We have knowledgeable staff and a pleasant environment, along with medical endorsements for medical patients.

If someone wanted to open a dispensary and get their feet wet in the industry, what advice or counsel would you give them?

Have money to spend, be patient, stay positive, and do your research to know what you are getting into before you take the plunge.

What is the most important thing you hope to accomplish while in the MJ/MMJ community?

To help and heal those in need, and to educate people about marijuana and the various benefits that it offers.
