She has always had a passion for cannabis, but after surviving cancer she learned an entirely new purpose and love for the plant and the ways it could help people. She is featuring local products in the store and encourages local producers to contact her if interested in the opportunity. “We are excited to showcase award winning local cannabis products and look forward to meeting even more of our local industry,” says Ishta Muhammad, General Manager.
