FEATURE Oliver X: What are your most popular flower strains and concentrates at Kanna thus far? Michael Bove: Our grow has been up and operational for about 6 months, so we just started to get on a constant harvest schedule. We have a lot of the common strains that people are looking for like Gorilla Glue #4, Sour Diesel, and Bubblegum, as well as some west coast flavors like Sherbet, Do Si Do’s, and some different OGs. Our production license was established just a couple months ago and we are working on coming out with a lot of different products. Currently we are retailing high quality rosin and shatter that have been getting great reviews. We are looking to start rolling out our disposable pens and vape cartridges within the next couple of months. Oliver X: How do you feel about many consumers being super THC focused in their

purchasing preferences? Is this phenomenon simply a matter of being more educated about the options in strains, terpenes and ratios? Michael Bove: Well, I understand why: higher THC means greater effect. While parts of that are true, there is much more to it. As you stated there are different terpenes that can boost a certain effect of the flower. At first people were very focused on getting the highest THC flower. Now though that the industry has been operating for a couple of years, people have become more educated about different terpenes and what affect that has on the flower and ultimately your body. So now at least the medical community patients are making smarter purchases for their ailment. However, I have a feeling that with recreational that we might revert back to the old days for a bit, with a race to see who has the highest THC flower, but I guess we will see.
