It’s a brave new B2B world

Our goal at HQ has always been about introducing retailers to the best of the best products and brands in the smoke shop and cannabis industries. Sure, you can check out the ads in our monthly magazine, read up on the latest industry news and meet the leading store owners, vendors and glass artists — and we hope you do — but to keep up with our fast-moving, ever-demanding audience, we’ve gone digital with the HQMarketZone shopping platform (hqmarketzone.com) which gives buyers flexibility, vendors increased exposure, and ultimately, the ability to deliver on the promise of a great customer experience. 

Wholesalers can register and begin selling their products to verified retailers almost immediately. Retailers can conveniently search for top, trusted products through vetted wholesaler storefronts and place orders via an easy-to-use shopping cart feature. Those orders will be instantly submitted and quickly on their way to your store — and your customers. 

 HQ is excited to offer this new state-of-the-art solution and continue to deliver on the promise of an exceptional end-to-end selling and buying experience.

There’s no holiday more prone to mythmaking than Christmas. Across our TVs, stories enshrine ridiculous origins to modern traditions, cartoon characters regularly save the holiday from the forces of grinchdom, and modern love flourishes for career women stuck in small towns. But these yuletide concoctions aren’t merely dessert; they’re flavoring added to medicine. Our stories cover up an uncomfortable truth: many of our holiday traditions stem from pagan revelry that included everything from psychedelics to orgies.
