Ethos Dispensary is a chain of dispensaries present in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Maryland. They are mostly focused on the medical side of cannabis and actively work towards advancing research in that field.
Ethos Dispensary Products
Natural Selections
The products that the Ethos Dispensary sells are mostly based on the cannabis flowers they grow. They use the Natural Selections premium flower as the basis for many different strains that they sell at the dispensaries.
Flower cultivation
The flowers are grown in the states of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, where large cultivation facilities are used by teams that have more than 40 years of experience when it comes to horticulture and the cultivation of the cannabis flower. The process of growing and cultivating the flowers is monitored very closely, and the techniques that they employ give birth to a lot of different types of strains that vary in color and aroma, as well as flavor, of course.
The cultivation facilities rely on the strong gene pool and large seed generation for the repeated quality of the flowers, which also gives them the ability to experiment and innovate by bringing newer strains into the market.The facilities now contain more than 2,600 seeds spread across 225 strains and a total of 60 breeders looking after them.
Growing standards
The company doesn’t use pesticides or insecticides while growing their plants. Their IPM i.e. Integrated Pest Management Plan, aims to eliminate the maximum amount of pests by using the least amount of organic pesticides as possible. They use a few procedures such as having strict biosecurity measures, focusing on sanitation, and using biological control agents. Now this raises another question, what are biological control agents?
Most of the time, they are predatory insects that feed on the pests that are harming the plants. By using these insects, the company can assure that the flowers are grown with a very low amount of organic pesticide, which means that the flavor and aroma profiles of the Natural Selections premium flowers can be unique and complex.
Harvest
After this process, the flower is harvested and dried slowly so that the cannabinoids and terpenes can be preserved to the highest extent, after which it is hand trimmed. A final inspection takes place before it is packaged and sent to their various outlets.
MUV Premium
The other branch of products they sell is under the name of MUV premium products.
The team that is under this branch is mostly experts in the fields of the different compounds that cannabis contains, which are a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes.
First up is the MUV Pure Distillate Cartridge. The cartridges that the company sells are potent and easy to use. They are derived from terpenes that are completely natural and derived from the cannabis plant itself. These cartridges can give the user the full spectrum of effects that can be produced by terpenes. The effects only take about 5-10 minutes to really start appearing, and they can last up to 4 hours. They are available in a few varieties, such as Indica, Sativa, Hybrid and High CBD.
Next on the list is the MUV Premium All In One Disposable Vape. This vape combines convenience with assured quality to produce an efficient product. The disposable vapes are discreet and comfortable, as well as being easily transferable. They contain ceramic atomizers, whose robustness gives the vape a really resilient quality. Again, it takes only about 5-10 mins to take effect, and said effects can last up to 4 hours. Flavors can be rotated easily, and it has no buttons, making it easy to use as far as the hardware is concerned.
The final product is MUV Full Spectrum Extract RSO Cannabis Oil. This full spectrum extract contains all kinds of terpenes, cannabinoids, chlorophyll, flavonoids, and even lipids. It is usually consumed orally in the form of a concentrate, but it can also be used as a topical. Oral consumption usually takes about 1 or 2 hours to take effect, while sublingual consumption only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. These effects can last from 6 to 8 hours. The product can also be used in cooking.
Community involvement
At Ethos Dispensary, they follow the policies of three E’s i.e. empowerment, experience, and expertise.
They have an arrangement with the Sidney Kimmel College at Thomas Jefferson University, through which they conduct research on cannabis and its effects. This enables the company to tell their consumers the exact kind of strain or product that they need, in line with the most recent studies.
Another thing to note is that all the studies and research papers they access and all the information that they avail through these studies, are all passed onto their customers through knowledgeable methods.
The company also has a care system that provides important information on issues that need awareness through their platform. Every month, a new initiative is put into place, and consumers can also chip in if they want to do so. All the initiatives that they put up are charitable. For example, in the month of November, they decided to honor military veterans by setting up charities and education systems that could help the veterans lead longer and more sustainable lives overall.Another example is for the month of September, in which they used World Alzheimer’s Month as a theme by collaborating with local organizations to help raise awareness, provide treatment, and support in an effort to reduce the stigma that is ever present around such diseases.
