Community and Connection

Engaging in the local cannabis scene through events like Canna Club and home grow meetups has been central to Overtsloth’s journey. They emphasize the importance of supporting local businesses over larger, disconnected corporations. The community aspect, for Overtsloth, is key to a thriving cannabis scene.

Looking Forward
