Looking Back: Since we opened our doors on July 3, 2013 our shelves have gone from nearly empty, with four lone strains (Master Kush, OG, Trainwreck and Ole 47 for those who were curious or can’t remember) to a place of max capacity (well, maybe not quite- but we would love more space). We have watched as harvests have produced and kitchens have opened and our shelves have been filled with a variety of natural medicinal options. We even bought more shelves and filled them up too.

CONCLUSION: Above all, we are so incredibly grateful for the people we get to meet in our store every day. We have been moved by many of our patients stories of survival and hope. We have enjoyed getting to know our patients and their families and hearing about their pursuit of happiness. Our patients have been by our sides educating, fundraising, and providing the necessary feed back to make SWC Arizona a great success. Our patients are the most important part of this story and complete the SWC Arizona Family. We are excited about all the great things our second year will bring for us and for our patients. We have no doubt it will include more education and fundraising. We hope it will entail a lot more fun with Snoop Dog and Comedians.
