About Chris

Interviewed by @rxmaryjade, Chris brings over two decades of experience to the table. As a veteran smoker, his favorite way to consume is good old-fashioned flower—he loves the ritual and the full profile of the plant.

But Chris is quick to emphasize: "It's not all about the THC content." He encourages every customer to look beyond the percentage and focus on the terpenes—the aromatic engines that drive the effects.

"Follow your nose," he advises. To help you shop smarter, Chris recommends using the Terpene Wheel below to identify what speaks to you. And if you prefer vaping, check out the Temperature Guide further down to ensure you're activating those delicate compounds properly for the best experience.
