▲ Meet the team behind the 1st Annual Missouri Melt Off Championship, held on July 10th( see page 41). They are not only one of the small handful of mixed-media greenhouse cultivators in Missouri but also the only cultivator / MIP that tracks the“ cold chain custody” of its bubble hash extracts— guaranteed cold storage from harvest through sale to you. Learn more about Delphi Brands, Hermits Delight, Borealis, Missouri Melt Off, and Missouri’ s first Piatella Hash on page 24. The team, left to right: Dan Wunderlich, COO; Heather Alvarez, packaging manager; Israel Doba, director of strategic growth; and Craig Carman, director of compliance.
▲ In June, Grön celebrated the launch of its PIXLZ THC-infused gummy with candy clusters at Double Tap KC, allowing those in the industry to try samples, enjoy free food, and experience virtual reality. PIXLZ gummy candy clusters feature unique combinations of cannabinoids and terpenes, with 100mg of THC per 20 pack.

▲ CLOVR and Green Precision Analytics held their 5th Annual Cannabis Industry Golf Tournament in June to raise money for the Veterans Community Project( VCP) and Answering the Call 911, charities for first responders. Although this year’ s proceeds were not tallied by our press date, last year, $ 40,000 was raised for the VCP. A big“ Thank You” to the entire CLOVR crew( shown here) for another successful tournament, and to all the golfers in the Missouri cannabis industry who showed up to support our veterans.
