Cirrus will offer an elevated five-senses experience within a beautifully adorned space, focusing on customer service. Arend envisions a space where people can come together, experience cannabis in a new light, and have meaningful conversations beyond the typical bar scene.

We both believe cannabis has the power to guide us through the healing of generational trauma and can help us foster meaningful connections.
