CALMA with Mara Strusser

Grassroots Marketing

0:00--:--

Were excited to talk to a dedicated expert in the cannabis space with over 15 years of extensive firsthand knowledge and experience working at various dispensaries in Southern California. Our guest has successfully designed a calm, tranquil retail experience for its customers and we’re here to learn about this state of the art concept. Joining us is Mara Stusser, the General Manager of Calma in West Hollywood, California. When people visit CALMA, the dispensary features floor-to-ceiling windows and stylish fixtures, sleek marble display tables and wall paneling, a powder pink check-in station, and a seafoam green fridge case area. The dispensary also features a large LED video wall that displays calming images, including ocean waves, waterfalls, and forests. Now, Calma offers an exclusive selection includes flower curated by Master Hashishin (Hash-eesh-inn) Frenchy Cannoli), Zendo Blending Teas, cookies by Dr. Norm's, and vaginal health oils by Quim. Plus, you stock CBD-infused body lotions from Israel-based Tikun Olam, which you noted to Uncover LA Magazine is the only cannabis brand with scientific backing. We talk about creating this exclusive environment all under one roof and so much more with Mara Stusser of CALMA.
