CANNABIS
In the heart of our philosophy lies a dedication to the wellness journey intertwined with cannabinoids. In choosing eating over smoking, the emphasis is on responsible consumption through proper dosing. This deliberate approach transforms the experience into a narrative— a story where your body becomes the protagonist, responding uniquely to the exploration of your symbiotic connection to cannabinoids.
Our Approach
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION
Every mammal’s body has an endocannabinoid system and everyBODY eats. This is why we believe eating and consuming cannabis orally is the easiest and healthiest way to receive the benefits of the plant. Whether you use our products in their natural state, drizzle them over food or cook them into your favorite recipes, you will enjoy the quality high they provide.

Ghee
GHEE, or clarified butter, is an ancient superfood synonymous with Ayuverda. The removal of milk solids makes it lactose free and gives it a high smoke point which makes it great for cooking. It is shelf stable product, refrigeration not necessary.

Honey
Honey has been used for its nutritional value since ancient times. Taking one spoonful every day can have numerous benefits to your health. Use it as a sweetener in your beverages (tea/coffee/smoothies), in sauce recipes, at night before bed or when you have a cold. Especially good for anyone who wants a smokeless experience.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our first press EVOO is organic and unrefined. A spoonful of extra virgin olive oil has many health benefits. EVOO is high in monounsaturated fats, antioxidants and vitamins, as well as a dietary supplement that does wonders for skin and hair. Use it on hot and cold dishes as a finishing oil or incorporate into your favorite recipes.

Coco Oil
Our COCO is organic, unrefined and provides high bioavailability which makes it a great carrier for cannabinoids. Coconut oil helps to boost your immune system, strengthens bones and gums (oil pulling) and reduces inflammation. In the kitchen, it’s a 1:1 vegan replacement for butter and is great for baking and sautéing. You can even use it for topical applications!
