Thank you for supporting the only locally owned and operated dispensary in Grand Rapids, MI.
The summer has been flying by at Pharmhouse Wellness, and weโve been busy next door, too, continuing construction on the grow facility. Every grow Iโve had before this was a DIY experiment. Youโll be glad to know this is differentโso much planning and thought have gone into this project.
As you know, there are many strains of cannabis flowerโwe carry about 70+ kinds of cannabis from cultivators across Michigan. With so many strains to choose from, how do you get started? If youโve never purchased flower before, or just donโt think youโre choosing the right products, we can help. Here are some things to consider.
Youโve stumbled upon the first entry in my GRow journal. I decided to write this as a documentary of sorts about the journey Iโve been on in the cannabis industry. From the Grand Rapids Lottery for Special Land Use Permits to opening a cannabis business in a pandemic, and now coming out the other side, we are on the verge of expanding our small but GRowing companyโwith a cannabis cultivation facility. So letโs get caught up on whatโs happening around the GRow!
Just like juicy strawberries in June, breathtaking Lake Michigan sunsets and campfires with firefliesโthere are some cannabis strains that pair up best with the summer months.
We believe cannabis social equity is more than a plan or a checkboxโfor us it is a deeply held company value.
There are so many options to consider when buying cannabis flower, and if youโve reviewed our cannabis menuโyou know there are so many choices, and making an informed decision isnโt always easy. Buying cannabis flower is a bit more complicated than simply Indica vs. Sativaโbut those two features are an excellent place to start!
With cannabis becoming more widely accepted and available, people are learning of the many positive benefits the plant offers. Interestingly enough, cannabis and sports are not mutually exclusive and it can be used to help both physically and mentally by adult athletes.
A cannabis edible is food that is made or infused with cannabis. In most dispensaries, theyโre products like gummies, hard candy, tablets, cookies, brownies or fudge.
The distinction between medical and recreational cannabis is an important one when youโre looking to make a purchase. But the bigger question is why is there even a difference in the first place now that both are legal? And what is the difference, really?
Data shows that 53% of males consume cannabis compared to 43% of females. Why are females are being overlooked in a growing cannabis market?
Recreational marijuana is legal in eleven states and Washington, D.C. Michigan was the tenth state to legalize marijuana for adult use. As the plant becomes legalized across the U.S., the questions surrounding how it clashes with the war on drugs have come to the forefront of social justice issues.
So, can cannabis provisioning centers benefit your community?
Yes! Hereโs how: like anything else in life, cannabis is taxed. The better a provisioning center does, the more tax revenue the state and local community will see. Medical cannabis is taxed at Michiganโs standard 6%, while recreational cannabis is taxed an extra 10% on top of the standard 6% tax rate. This money goes to improving schools, roads, and other various things that benefit from tax dollars.
