We think one of the best perks of shopping your local Key dispensary is the recommendations from folks who actually use the products.

This month, we’re spotlighting Jason K. from our Illinois team. Here’s what he’s reaching for lately and why!

Elevate Min-E-Bars

If you’re looking for something easy and reliable, Jason recommends the Elevate Cannabis Min-E-Bar line:

JK: “The Min-E-bars by Elevate are a fantastic line of distillate, disposable vaporizers, that come in a variety of strains to meet my day to day needs. I love the fact that these sleek little devices look like any normal tobacco vaporizer and offer a charging port, meaning I never have to worry about it dying before the tank is empty.

The 100% botanically derived terpenes lead to a not only a great high, but great tasting flavors to boot. I really like that the package clearly states the terpene recipe (something not everyone does) to ensure I know what type of high to expect, meaning I can get the proper effects to perfect my day or night. These little bars are great for when I’m on the go… whether I choose to micro-dose or take heavier hits to really ride the high.”

Elevate Flower

Produced locally in Du Quoin, Illinois, Elevate flower continues to raise the bar for Illinois-grown cannabis:

Two standouts in Jason’s rotation:

• Black Maple

• Grapefruit Durban

JK: “The Elevate flower line is truly something to behold, raising the bar for locally sourced cannabis with every grow. They offer some of my favorites strains, like Black Maple and Grapefruit Durban… I’ve found that the flower is always dense and frosty, providing a great high, without breaking the bank in the process.

I love the fact that it’s grown in living soil and great care is clearly taken in every step of the process, including the fancy strain art on the top of each jar. I want to collect them all!

While the package itself does not offer terpene or lineage information, it is prominently displayed on the website and kiosks, meaning I know exactly what strain to select depending on what I’m doing for the day. Additionally, I can’t express enough how much I absolutely love the strain selection available, there are a lot of really solid heavy hitters, and I’m always excited to see what else is coming down the pipeline.”

Grön MEGA Pearls

For experienced consumers with higher tolerances, edibles can sometimes fall short. That’s where Grön MEGA Pearls come in!

JK: “As a heavy user of cannabis, my tolerance can often be a barrier when it comes to edibles. Luckily the Gron MEGA Pearls offer a high dose of THC in a single sugar-coated gummy.

I’m constantly impressed with their unwavering standards by offering organic, single-origin, Fair Trade Certified, locally source (when possible) ingredients that lead to a unique, and flavorsome experience. When it comes to Gron MEGA Pearls, whether it be Indica, Sativa, Hybrid, or the sleep inducing CBN gummy, they have me covered. They’re flavors and effects rival the best of the best and each time I have them, I’m amazed at how well they taste and how much of a punch they pack in one piece.

No more eating a whole pack of gummies to feel something! I pop a MEGA Pearl and I’m good to go.”
