To Israel Sepulveda, the world is full of canvases — and they aren’t all made of canvas. His latest masterpiece? A banging mural adorning the entire lobby at The Dispensary Eastern. We caught up with Israel to talk about his art, his perspective on cannabis, and his (big) plans for the future. IT’S SACRED GEOMETRY, BRO Israel’s colorful, graphic pieces are based on sacred geometry, which describes the meaning and symbolism attributed to certain shapes and proportions.

One of the highlights to working in a cannabis dispensary is all the amazing vendors with which we have the pleasure of working. And to shine a little light on these great companies working so hard to bring cannabis products to the masses, we’re launching a brand new vendor spotlight series. First up? KYND Cannabis Company! FROM THEN TO NOW KYND opened in 2015 to serve the medical community, before recreational cannabis was legal in the Silver State.

You probably know all about pre-rolls, those consumer-ready joints that come ready to smoke. Hand-rolled joints have a lot going for them—discreet, disposable, easy to share—which means they’ve more than earned their place in the world of cannabis, but rolling your own isn’t something everyone wants to do. And that’s where the pre-roll comes in. But everything changes when you’re dealing with infused pre-rolls, so let’s talk it through. A BAD REPUTATION Fact—pre-rolls are not created equal. While these professionally-rolled sticks may look appealing, in some markets and from some cul ..read more

Cannabis-infused butter — i.e. cannabutter — takes everything up a notch. We highly recommend whipping up a batch to have on hand, then swapping out a few teaspoons in any recipes that call for regular butter. And don’t panic — you don’t need to be a chef or a cannabis connoisseur to make your very own cannabutter. All you need to do is follow our recipe. THE NEW PANTRY STAPLE Cannabutter is, obviously, an edible, and ingesting cannabis is an experience all its own. To be clear, effects from edibles often take longer to kick in, but they also last longer — usually bet ..read more

But it’s really just the beginning. Here’s what makes live resin so special. WHAT IS LIVE RESIN? Live resin is a unique ..read more

While the holidays are typically a mix of joy and stress for most of us, 2020 is next level. Instead of parties, planning, and shopping, we’re still navigating a pandemic that has changed the way many of us work and live. Anxiety is sky-high and many people are already struggling, and the holidays can really compound those negatives. On the plus side, there are steps people can take to mitigate stress, even right now. And plant-based cannabinoids are one of them.

No one needs an excuse to eat guacamole, but we’re making it even more appealing – and just in time for Cinco de Mayo!
