► This month’ s cover: As the saying goes,“ April showers bring May flowers,” yet this gorgeous Vertical Cannabis flower, grown in its indoor, state-of-the-art facility near St. Joseph, MO, still requires ample water and light to produce hearty buds. The photo was taken by Ricky Starling of NatureMed Dispensary during a recent NatureMed team tour of the Vertical Cannabis facility. See page 14 to learn more about the tour.
