We believe that whether one smokes for purpose or for pleasure; health and happy experiences are important to us. We are boutique batch growers of artisan strains and our genetics have withstood the test of time as terpene rich and naturally resistant. We rely on environmental controls and biological solutions for pest and mold management then scientifically test for contaminants because everyone’s health matters. #BEHAPPY!
