Two other flavors have a caffeine kick: Blue Razz( with 50 mg Caffeine and 10mg THC per pouch) and Watermelon( with 100mg Caffeine and 25mg THC per pouch). If you’ re looking for a more relaxing flavor, try Orange Creamsicle( with 10mg CBN and 25mg THC per pouch). The pouches in the photograph are being infused by Xavier Williams, production lead at Dark Horse Manufacturing.
▲ Proper celebrated the re-grand opening of its new Kansas City dispensary last November.“ Relocating our store was a huge undertaking, but so worth it to create the experience we want our customers and our team to have,” said Kate Ransom, Proper’ s marketing director( 3rd from left).“ We now have the space and infrastructure to deliver across the Kansas City metro. We have a larger sales floor where we can show off our products and consult with customers. We have ample parking and a convenient location right off the highway.” Visit www. propercannabis. com / shop-kansas-city to learn more or visit the new location at 10157 Wornall Rd, Kansas City, MO.
