Elevated Learning

A Missouri Brand and Products

YOU SHOULD KNOW !

by Danielle Buntyon , contributing writer

Recently , I walked into a nearby dispensary and saw a product labeled Illicit on it . It caught my attention immediately . In my mind , I wondered if they meant it in the same way as I thought they meant it . When I think of the word Illicit added to the word cannabis , it takes me back to the days of strange looks and confused notions of what the plant can do . But on the contrary , the brand was not built to promote illegal activities . All these factors make me want to find out more about this company and what they have to offer . Let ’ s take a closer look at the mission of Illicit Gardens , the brand values that the company provides , and my favorite products from the company and why I like them so much . We ’ re going to get trippy , explore all the amazing stuff this brand offers , and learn more about it .

Who are Illicit Gardens ?
As soon as I saw the stunning packaging , I decided to check out the website of this unique brand to learn more about it . It is impressive how it approaches the process of growing its products . According to the company ’ s website :
● The genetic library consists of over 30 strains that have been hand-selected and pheno-hunted by its Master Growers .
● In addition to better-looking buds , hand trimming also gives you higher potency .
● The flower is treated with Illicit ’ s proprietary drying and curing techniques to maximize cannabinoids and terpenes .
What is its brand value ?
What made the company stand out in the market of many others was its effort to make a quality product . Illicit utilizes cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship and also offers some of Missouri ’ s highest-quality cannabis products while working tirelessly to demand cannabis reform . The choice of brand name protests the hypocrisy of cannabis prohibition by the federal government , which makes it illegal . In addition , it protests the incarceration of nonviolent cannabis offenders by the justice system .
As for its operational philosophy , it has a dual-pronged focus on the Missouri Medical Market . First , it wants to become the top brand of premium medical cannabis in Missouri , serving patients and licensed marijuana retailers . The second is to ensure that it uses its freedom campaigns to ensure that Missourians enjoy the fullness of social justice while pushing for better reforms . Its efforts have been
noticed . During the past year , it has received over ten awards from four organizations for its social work in Missouri and the national cannabis market .
According to the Illicit website , everything is done by hand to maintain a premium appeal and ensure higher potency . Also , one of the qualities that make it stand out as one of the leading medical marijuana brands in Missouri is its “ bio-security ” systems that help eliminate contaminants in its grow rooms .
What products does Illicit offer , and what is my favorite ?
The company offers some of the highest-quality cannabis products in Missouri , including :
● Pre-packaged flowers in various sizes
● Gummies
● Concentrates
● Distillate vapes
● Live rosin product line — live rosin jams , live rosin TPK vapes , live cold cured rosin , live bubble hash .
My favorite product from the Illicit line would be the Live Rosin product line . I admire it for having an appealing selection but it ’ s solventless extractions for me . This product line is attractive to the conscious customer . Illicit has a wide range of products using these concentrates that have a very rich tasting profile and true expression of the plants used . When comparing them to the others in the product lineup , these are the true stars of the show .
Illicit has products like live bubble hash , live rosin vapes , and more in the Live Rosin line . The next product that I adore is the gummies . They have a flavorful mix that is sure to please your taste buds . The gummies
