▲ Familiar industry leaders Nate Dreshfield( left), Stability director of sales and business development, and Joey Pintozzi( right), Stability chief strategy and operations officer, recently joined Alex Thatch( center), Stability senior director of cultivation and operations, to rebrand Stability’ s cultivation and manufactured products. The company name remains with an enhanced look, and it will launch extremely exotic strains that just recently hit the Missouri cannabis market. Watch for them at your dispensary.
▲ Kansas City Cannabis Company teamed up last month with Colonial Gardens and Powell Gardens in Blue Springs for a sold-out event featuring live marimba island music, fresh cannabis, and cannabis-infused island-themed drinks. This month they’ re teaming up for two separate events. October 2nd is Puffin Alpaca Sunset Picnic featuring local live music, adorable alpacas, cozy fire pits, and good company. October 16th is Puff & Pick Pumpkins: enter a costume contest and a hunt for your perfect pumpkin, then elevate your evening with friends under the stars. Visit www. colonialgardenskc. com and see the Events Calendar page for more information.
▲ We beat the rush at Greenlight’ s Underground to catch Joint Co’ s employees, Alison Moffatt( left) and Daniela Del Toro( right), and try new products, including its new Jelly Roll shots and Mind Melt THC Diamonds in Sauce vape carts. Greenlight Underground at 39th and Noland Road in Independence always has a long line of eager fans ready to get in. Plan to get there early this month on the 2nd and 3rd, or at the Ward Parkway, KCMO, and Joplin locations on the 16th and 17th for some of the most competitive discounts on new products you’ ll find. Also, watch for Joint Co.’ s new rosin infused lemonades available this Fall.
▲ Last month, Vertical hosted its first Terps & Tunes event, drawing a HUGE turnout. Shown here are Vertical Marketing Director James Monson( left) and Vertical Key Account Exec Luke Porter( right), just before they opened the doors to a very long line of cannabis consumers. Attendees enjoyed live music while perusing free samples of their favorite brands and picking up some swag. It was one of the biggest turnouts we’ ve ever seen!
