Our Origin,
Our Destiny

It’s our pleasure to introduce our founder Pearl, a lifelong cannabis enthusiast and seasoned professional in the industry. Born and raised in San Diego, California, Pearl’s love for the quaint town of Lone Pine blossomed from annual visits she made with her husband, ultimately leading her to set up a cannabis dispensary here.

Pearl’s affection for cannabis isn’t just about consumption—it’s also about the process. Her product of choice for a hypothetical desert island scenario? A pound of Sour Diesel and palm leaves for rolling. Old school to her core, Pearl takes great pride in rolling her own joints and has a profound appreciation for the therapeutic process it entails.

Pearl’s zeal for cannabis is not just limited to her personal use. With her first dispensary opened in 2009 and several others since, Pearl has been an active participant in the evolution of the cannabis industry. Her hopes for the future of cannabis include it being broadly embraced for its medicinal benefits.  Pearl is also the co-founder of a trade association for licensed dispensaries and is preparing to open San Diego’s first cannabis consumption lounge in the coming year.

Outside of her professional endeavors, Pearl immerses herself in a myriad of creative pursuits, from penning songs to crafting unique pieces. A homebody at heart, she finds immense joy in caring for her diverse collection of pets, ranging from dogs and cats to chickens, goats, and a cuddly bunny. Her sanctuary is her home, where she often retreats to her dedicated meditation room for solace and inspiration.

When it comes to customer service, Pearl’s innate empathy shines through, fostering a deep connection with her customers. She takes pride in guiding skeptics toward an understanding and appreciation of cannabis, encouraging them to approach their options with the same mindfulness they would apply to their nutritional choices. Above all, Pearl finds immense satisfaction in enhancing her customers’ holistic well-being, regardless of whether they seek cannabis for recreational or medicinal purposes.

Ever the advocate for kindness and self-love, Pearl strongly believes in the transformative power of cannabis to help individuals see the world from a more empathetic, thankful, and motivated perspective. And of course, it’s no surprise that Pearl stays updated with the latest cannabis trends and products—her husband, she says, never stops talking about them!

Their partnership serves as a symbol of their shared commitment to shaping a cannabis industry that is accessible and beneficial for small businesses and local communities.
