Living the Dream: Steve Lopez

It’s hard to believe that one year ago our country abruptly shut down. The effects were immediate on the cannabis industry as governments were faced with the question, “Is cannabis essential?” Overwhelmingly, states took the stance that cannabis was essential, and in these unforeseen circumstances, we skipped a few spaces to achieve greater recognition as a legitimate industry on a federal scale.

This public shift has led to unprecedented growth and ingenuity. We have worked diligently to create healthier and safer spaces for our team members and customers, from increasing online orders and expedited pickups in order to limit personal contact to continuing to evolve through expanding our portfolio with some of the brightest and best industry innovators.

One of our favorites, and new to our inventory at all 21 TGS dispensaries in Colorado, is Toast, an Aspen-based cannabis company inspired by the natural beauty, social spirit and culture of the city. We’ve offered Toast’s USDA Organic hemp CBD tinctures and handcrafted hemp chocolate supplements for more than a year, and recently added the Toast Original and Toast Classic Cannabis Slices to our shelves.

Toast Original Slices are expertly dosed, with a 2:1 ratio of CBD and THC, to create a unique mind and body experience ideally tuned for celebrating life’s moments. Each Slice is wrapped in hemp paper, topped with a specially designed high-flow filter to level its burn and identified by its rich purple filter and gold foil insignia. Toast Classic features some of the most coveted strains on the market, chosen for unique terpene profiles and euphoric effects. Each pre-roll is made with high-grade cannabis and hand-checked for quality. Toast is well-known throughout Colorado for the exceptional quality of pre-rolls, and we are thrilled to debut their latest products. We’re looking forward to their partnership in Colorado and continuing to offer the best available products to our customers.

Last year, we were the first company in Colorado to carry the highly acclaimed products from Belushi’s Farm with the launch of The Blues Brothers Pre-Rolls. We have also recently launched new in-house pre-rolls to our lineup, including the hemp-wrapped flower blunt, hash-infused pre-rolls, hash-infused blunt and the caviar cone. Our hash-infused pre-roll is a 1.2-gram traditional pre-roll featuring a bonus hash infusion for an extra kick. The caviar cone consists of 1 gram of premium in-house flower soaked in hash oil and coated in natural trichomes.

With spring in the air, we’re all excited about the possibilities the new season will bring and the continued evolution of the cannabis industry.
