Do you have Flower/Prerolls/Carts/Vapes?
We do not. According to the state of Iowa, we are not allowed to have any product that is either combustible or inhalable in a recreational shop.
What types of products do you have?
We currently carry a variety of Delta 9 THC edibles and beverages, Delta 8 THC edibles and beverages, and non-THC products, such as Amanita mushroom products, Nootropic mushroom products, and Mad Honey.
What are Delta 9 and Delta 8?
Delta 9 is the shorthand scientific term for standard THC, Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. This is usually a more head-oriented experience but can be steered depending on whether the specific product is Sativa, Hybrid, or Indica leaning. Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol is usually not as intense, and is primarily body oriented.

What are Sativa, Hybrid, and Indica?
Sativa is usually a functional experience, primarily with uplifting, euphoric, and anti-anxiety effects. Indica is a more relaxing experience, but can also help with nausea and is an appetite enhancer. Hybrid is a combination of both.

Do your mushroom products contain psilocybin?
No. Psilocybin is illegal in Iowa, and none of our products contain it.
Do you have products for pets?
No. They are not allowed in a retail setting that also caters to humans.
Why can’t I order online?
We are currently working on switching back-end systems, which has stopped us from taking online orders. We anticipate having that corrected soon, but don’t have a specific timeframe.
Can I order online and pick up at the shop?
We do not currently have any online sales. Once our online ordering has been restored, we will be able to process pick up orders.
Can I order over the phone for pick up?
No, we do not take orders over the phone. All purchases will need to be in shop.
