“The biggest difference between working with us is that we stand by our quality and you're not going to run into a contamination issue. You're not going to run into a pesticide or heavy metal problem. And God forbid you run into a recall situation. A lot of these big cannabis companies are trying to save that half a penny by going with the smaller guy. It's not worth cutting the corner for a half-cent.” - Bryan Gerber
