LIZZIE POST

Author of Higher Etiquette

“Whether you are new to the world of cannabis, or have been deep in the culture for decades, the cannabis community is coming out of this period stronger than ever. With the validation of cannabis as essential, new states legalizing both recreationally and medicinally, and with millions consuming responsibly, we can be even more proud of our connection to the plant and community that gives us so much.”

-Lizzie Post

GINA GAULT

Community Outreach Specialist

“There are people who read everything on labels—food, toiletries, cosmetics—because they are generally interested in what they put in their bodies. Cannabis is the same way. If you just want to go home and relax, you might just dive right in to what you’ve got, “But if you’re going to make butter or share it with your 90-year-old grandmother, you’ll want to know more.”

-Gina Gault

Lizzie Post and Gina Gault share a few fun stories and possibly some awkward and embarrassing moments, and discuss how to make friends in the community. We’ll explore how cannabis became essential with topics like:

• The Shift in Cannabis Culture
• Cannabis Legalization in the USA
• Your Personal Relationship with Cannabis
• Using Cannabis Safely

Higher Etiquette: A Guide to the World of Cannabis, from Dispensaries to Dinner Parties

As we enter the dawn of a new “post-prohibition” era, the stigma surrounding cannabis use is fading, and the conversation about what it means to get high is changing.Informative, charming, and stylishly illustrated, this buzzworthy book will make the ultimate lit addition to your stash.

“Cannabis is essential. It seems like such a simple truth. When the pandemic hit and cannabis was in fact declared an essential service that needed to remain available to the public and patients, the realization hit many of us like a ton of bricks. Not only as a huge wave of validation, but as a truth outed. For many usage during the past year went beyond recreational use. Cannabis truly became essential. An aid that was helping us make it through an unprecedented time. From lowering anxiety to helping with sleep, and the physical/psychological pain of pandemic life, to helping us at times handle well the sheer boredom, cannabis has been helping people across America to cope. For so many it has become an essential part of self care routines.” -Lizzie Post, Author, Higher Etiquette

We’re Celebrating Essential Cannabis All Month Long!

When you visit a GTI or RISE dispensary in April, you are a part of the celebration!

A Place for Well-being

Our dispensaries are in full-on festive mode, with balloons, pennants, floormats, and even a giant bong! We’re in the mood to celebrate that Cannabis became essential last year. We want to say thank you for shopping at our dispensaries and for being an important part of our cannabis community.

We’re Grateful

To show our appreciation for our essential workers in cannabis, we sent custom cookies and swag to our team.

It has been a challenging year, and we made it through together, rising to the moment and providing safe access to cannabis through our local dispensaries. Our team adjusted to a new way of cannabis shopping, and adopted new safety protocols to keep our patients and guests safe.

We’re grateful for this opportunity to serve our patients and guests with essential cannabis when they needed it the most. We invite you to stop by and celebrate with us.

So grab your smartphone, find a dispensary near me, order online, and visit a GTI or RISE Dispensary in your community. We’re so excited to serve you, and our dispensary staff is here to help.
