We are here to support the community and add value and integrity to the perception of cannabis. Business has been great in our first month. Our local supervisor even came through in support and bought a salve product for his aching knee. We run a very nice, clean and professional shop. S: Now that the shop is open, the community support has been great. HL: What’s the reception been like in the neighbourhood? Have folks been cool? (Satori Wellness opened on March 3, 2018.) Finally, in 2016, the County issued a new ordinance to allow dispensaries and we had to reapply. Satori Wellness was so close to opening in 2011 until the County passed a ban on dispensaries and our application was suspended.

HL: What is Satori’s guiding principle in all that you do? Now Satori is also up front and open in the cannabis industry as we always had a reputation as a stoner brand. To this day, we still produce clothing and skateboard wheels that are distributed globally. At that time, we were also making hemp and organic clothing. We started with skateboard wheels and a professional team that represented the brand. Satori: Satori Movement began in 1998 with the mission being a conscientious skateboard company.
