▲ Elevate Cannabis and Key Dispensaries hosted Missouri’ s biggest and best 420“ Sesh Fest” party, featuring local KC native Krizz Kaliko as the headliner for the night. Several other bands also took the stage. The sold-out Sesh Fest, featuring local cannabis brands, food trucks, and live entertainment, set the bar for cannabis events in Missouri, and we can’ t wait to see what’ s in store for their next event.
▲ Project Specialist for Illicit Cultivation, Leslie Ann Lee( left), is seen here undergoing a field sobriety test administered by police officers from New York, who were students in the most recent Extract-ED’ s Green Lab. During the Green Lab, police officers get to learn the difference between consumption and impairment with the help of consuming volunteers from Missouri’ s Cannabis Industry. The EVOLUTION Magazine has helped Extract-ED with the law enforcement educational Green Labs since 2021 to reduce false arrests.
