June 2021 Welcome

Things are heating up as we step towards the warmer summer months and we couldn’t be any more excited…especially as the nation relaxes covid restrictions. We are ready to rock and know you are too! 

 

First in the line-up…’Clean’, ‘safe’, ‘natural’, or ‘pure’ CBD are pivotal selling points for many CBD brands. However, these buzz words are meaningless without the evidence to support such claims. Check out our most recent feature to see which companies make the cut and which are on the chopping block. 

 

Next up, join us as we go behind the scenes with The PowerHitter. The seventies may have been groovy, but for pot smokers. The choice of pipes was a real drag, being limited to ceramic and metal spoons, some basic glass bongs, and maybe an apple or Mr. Pib can with holes punched in them if you were desperate or low on dough. Not anymore, though! Say hello to the PowerHitter: innovative, BPA-free and flame retardant plastic, and hits harder while easily popping back to shape.  Try it today…their 31K+ social media followers aren’t lying when they say they love it! 

 

Lastly, Tom Pierson (Husband and co-owner of Kaleidoscope with wife Pam) offers sage marital advice after almost a half century of being married. He sums it up in just a few words. “No matter what she asks for or says, my answer is the same‘honey whatever you want to do is fine with me.’”  Check out HQ’s Shop of the Month to learn more about how this shop survived the storms for over 50 years! 

 

We hope to see you all next month in Las Vegas at The HQ Event & Trade Show! You don’t want to miss it! Call our office today 505-275-6049 for details or register at www.TheHQEvent.com.

For Sammie Pyle, cannabis has been a life-changing medicine, and she wants everyone to know about it. A registered nurse with a background in critical care and travel nursing, Sammie became a frontline healthcare worker in 2020, working in COVID ICUs across the country. As a result of that work, she was diagnosed with PTSD, survivor’s guilt, and insomnia. “The doctor wanted to give me a lot of prescriptions, but I already felt numb,” she says. “I needed something to bring me back to myself. So I chose a different path: the cannabis route.”
Before you pop the champagne (or, in my case, spark the bowl) on New Year’s Eve, don’t forget to tie up any remaining loose ends with your business. Unfinished tasks could cost you thousands if left dangling for too long, so start the New Year off right by taking care of any unresolved issues before January 1st.
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.
