They will have a full menu of cannabis products including indoor, greenhouse, and sun grown Cannabis Flower, Concentrates, Vape Cartridges, Edibles, Tinctures, and more.

This philanthropic effort aims to provide resources to support these children's needs, and which may not be provided by existing city, county and state services.
