May 2021 Welcome

It’s finally May, people and we are on the official countdown to Summer! With covid restrictions lifting across the country you are no doubt making plans for trade shows…make sure you clear your schedule for July 21-22 because the next HQ Event is going to rock your socks off! And don’t take our work for it. Headway Design New Business Director, Andrew Tharrington said of the first show in NOLA, “It’s been amazing, and we’ve done enough orders in just these two days to make our year!” You can register at www.thehqevent.com

 

Next, we have an exciting line-up for all of you looking for the best of the best! Our product spotlights this month are nothing short of impressive. Featuring brands like Waterfall, SmartStash, Dabtainer, and Dabrite, we are certain you will find something that is sure to fly off of your shelves!

 

Lastly, have you ever wondered about all of the wonderful and amazing ways to infuse our beloved MaryJane into your daily routine? Inspired by the philosophy of Hippocrates, ancient Greek founder of western medicine, who said, “Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food,” cannabis chef Dee Russell is cooking up a prescription for good health. Be sure to check out HQ’s newest monthly feature “PotLuck”.

 

Thank you to everyone who continues to support HeadQuest! We are thrilled for new beginnings, adventures, and fun and love having ya’ll along for the ride!
