4/20 is approaching for 2024 and while medical marijuana was legalized in 2018, recreational cannabis now enters its second year of legality in Missouri. No doubt you’ll be able to find what you need to celebrate the holiday. Don’t worry if you need guidance; we’ve covered everything from flower to concentrates, and a few things in between.
Wana will always remain an essential brand for Missouri, not only because of its product quality but also because of its mission. Being supporters of The Last Prisoner Project, Planned Parenthood, Cannabis Doing Good, and Project V.E.T.S among many other helping organizations, Wana shows their love for the community on their sleeve.
“Wana’s mission is to create quality, effective, innovative cannabinoid-based products that help people live their best lives. We work every day to build a company and a culture that respects and invests in our employees and the communities we serve, creating value that extends well beyond the delicious products we proudly produce daily all over North America.”
You can’t think of cannabis gummies and not have Wana pop up in your head first. They’re a staple and for a reason. If you’re looking for a variety of flavors, they’ve got it, but not only that, they’ve got a collection of classes and ratios to find your perfect mix.
Nuthera Infinity Concentrates Super Lemon Haze
When I think of the cool, fun, and fashionable brands in the Missouri market, Nuthera is one of the top contenders on that list. Representing the cannabis community isn’t just in the consumption of the product, but also in the fashion of creating a new way to look as cannabis consumers to break the stigma.
“Seeded in Missouri, by Missourians, Nuthera is firmly rooted in our passion for the ART and SCIENCE of Cannabis. We consistently & consciously craft premiere cannabis products with approachability and transparency. We care what comes out of the lab and into your bag.”
I can’t forget to mention the magnitude of variety of products they produce:
“Nuthera proudly handcrafts Panda Chocolates, Panda Fruits, Medusa Chocolates, INDI Vapes, Infinity Concentrates, and Nuthera Cannabis.”
I’ve only had the pleasure of experiencing Infinity Concentrates, however, I hear only fantastic things about their edibles. One of my best friends doesn’t buy anything else! As far as the Infinity Concentrates, they’ve got some crazy options. We went old school and got Super Lemon Haze and it was perfect! Smooth, smelled incredible, and smoked so clean. All in all, I’m just proud to have a brand like this from Missouri. They’ve got such greatness about them.
WYNK
You may not know, but I write the Women to Watch feature and own and operate a very women-forward cannabis photography, CannaBizarre. Women in the industry are super important to me and I am their biggest cheerleader. I had the chance to connect with WYNK at the MoCannTrade meetup in Springfield and it was so refreshing (yes the drinks were amazingly refreshing but) to see such an innovative and fun brand led by strong women was something I had been waiting for! Are THC drinks new in the industry? Not necessarily, but I find it hard to find the right THC drink.
“Unlike many other THC beverages, we craft our own product. No third parties. When we print a dosage on the outside of the can, we promise that’s what you can expect on the inside. We’re all about delivering a consistently balanced, light, and social time, every time”
I don’t partake in edibles much especially liquid edibles. It’s just not something I know much about. The women at WYNK took the time to help me understand the benefits of THC/CBD drinks and after trying them, I fell in love! It wasn’t too strong in taste or THC level and is activated very quickly so you don’t over-medicate, which makes it a perfect drink to relax with or take with you on a girl’s picnic!
“Unlike traditional edibles, WYNK allows for a quicker onset and a predictable effect. Feel the balanced buzz in about 10 to 15 minutes, with the experience lasting around an hour and a half.”
Timeless X Valentina Vargas
Timeless Timeless x Valentina Vargas
Sometimes for the 4/20 you just want to relax and do the same thing you do any other day or you want to spend the day celebrating grandly. Vaping allows you to do both!
“At Timeless Vapes, our mission is to provide the cleanest and most effective cannabis medicine while striving to set the standard of excellence in an ever-growing industry.”
Providing assistance for every mood, Timeless has Energy, Chill, and Rest cartridges. Perfect for every part of your 420 holiday! Timeless is unique in the fact that each category has a ton of flavors/strains to choose from featuring some big stars like Strawberry Cough, Blue Dream and Grandaddy Purp.
“Timeless Vapes was founded in 2013 with the vision of giving patients an efficient and subtle way to medicate. Our passion has always been research and development, constantly striving to create the highest quality and most innovative products available.”
One of the coolest things Timeless offers is their signature flip case. Which is designed to keep your Timeless battery and cartridge safe and clean. It keeps the pen functioning efficiently by keeping it upright, and allows consumers to enjoy Timeless discreetly. Through time and discovery, I’m loving how the industry is perfecting how to protect cartridges when carried on the go.
As an artist, I really appreciate the Timeless Artist Legacy Program.
“A Legacy that is Timeless – Every artist, musician, and creative has their own unique story to tell. We collaborate and support creatives that inspire and live the Timeless lifestyle.”
The most recent collaboration features art from Valentina Vargas, a California native who mixes layers of symbolism within her art. A special-edition Timeless x Valentina Vargas Flip Case and Battery Combo are available at select dispensaries around the state or online at alwaystimeless.com for a limited time only.
Grön
Gummies gummies gummies! Grön’s got the most beautiful gummies. Pearls to be exact. I’m so thankful Grön provided me with a sample pack of their famous Sugar-Coated Pearls that included their Tangelo Sativa, Blackberry Lemonade Sleepy Indica and Blueberry Lemonade Daytime Sativa. They’re almost too pretty to eat! That’s what makes them perfect for an elegant edibles charcuterie. That’s a thing isn’t it? It should
be! Some Grön Pearls, a little dark chocolate and some champagne with the girls? I need to make some phone calls.
A women-led visionary brand founded in 2015 by mother and architect-turned-chocolatier, Christine Smith, Grön creates delicious, handcrafted cannabis-infused edibles for the community. What started as one delicately nuanced dark chocolate bar has since expanded to multiple product lines available internationally, serving millions of happy customers Grön is weaved heavily in helping the community and taking a stance for women and Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities by being a part of The Floret Coalition. In the predominantly red state of Missouri, this takes a lot of courage and deserves praise!
We are honored to support this anti-racist collective of small businesses in the cannabis and cannabis-adjacent space which supports and funds equity-oriented actions via monthly donations and social campaigns. They are committed to raising funds and awareness for organizations prioritizing the needs of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities.
Daysavers Perfect Pack Machine
“Born from the team of Pre-Roll Experts at CustomConesUSA.com, the leading pre-roll supply company for pre-roll businesses, DaySavers’ mission is to ensure smoking accessories are held to the same quality and safety compliance required of manufacturers. Accessories like pre-roll cones and rolling papers are not held to the same, strict testing standards as finished products. And you deserve better. So we decided to bring that level of quality and transparency to consumers.”
From cones, papers, glass tips, and grinders to the Perfect Pack Machine, Daysavers has the tools to party alone or with a group. I got to try out some amazing accessories from Daysavers, but my favorite was the Perfect Pack Machine. $35 for the most convenient tool I’ve found in the industry? Sign me up.
“Cigarette tube filling machines all have the same issue: None of them were designed to work with cannabis. These machines work by compressing tobacco before moving it into an empty cigarette tube. As it naturally decompresses, the tobacco expands into the cigarette tube—creating an even pack throughout the tube. This process works great for tobacco, but cannabis is different. Cannabis sticks together when it is compressed, so a new packing system was needed to ensure the cannabis gets packed well.
The DaySavers Perfect Pack is the only cigarette tube-filling machine that was specifically designed to work with cannabis. Instead of compression, the DaySavers Perfect Pack uses a screw method to perfectly pack the cannabis all the way to the filter end—no more tamping and repacking! You can even customize the compression of the cannabis throughout the tube to your specifications.”
I had a king-size cone filled in 10 seconds! But how did it burn? Incredibly! It was evenly packed and ready to go. It’s travel-sized and good for any party to keep everyone quickly smoked up!
