We are honored to have received the award for Best New England Cannabis Company at last week’s @necannacon New England Cannabis Community Awards!! . . This means more to us than we can articulate. Our team works tirelessly, sometimes with our Founders putting in 70-80 hour work weeks. Knowing that we are helping to make this world a better place by helping people have access to high quality, organic #CBD topicals makes all of that hard work more than worth it. . . Shoutout to everyone on The Healing Rose team! Our teamwork makes the dream work, and we are so grateful for the work environment we have at our HQ. Every team member believes in helping others and feels passionately about our products. Everyday is filled with smiles and laughter, all while working hard to get so much accomplished. #grateful . . Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us!

🚭🤔Public social consumption remains illegal in Massachusetts, but for a monthly fee of $15, you can join the only private cannabis lounge in Massachusetts. • 💺📈The Summit Lounge @thesummitlounge_ma opened on Worcester's Water Street just over a year ago. Membership has hovered around 300 since. The club isn't regulated by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC), but it has become an important focal point of the state's legal cannabis industry and could help provide the framework for social consumption regulations. • 📬Get this straight to your inbox->Become a member at patreon.com/MRCC_ACCESS. • 🎷The club doesn't sell or otherwise provide any cannabis products containing THC, the part of the marijuana plant which gets you high, said owner Kyle Moon. The club does sell CBD products – marijuana-based extracts without THC – along with providing pipes, bongs and other devices for members. • 🍪🧰In order to get high at Summit, members must bring their own marijuana, joints or edibles to enjoy in the club around other like-minded folks. — #lounge #social #consumption #bar #hangout #friends #leisure #activities #fun #enjoy #diverse #cannabis #friendship #community #meeting #weed #420 #gethigh #sanfrancisco #california #adultuse #pot #weedshop #westcoast #smoke #stoner
