LAURA
Store Manager
Laura was drawn to this industry because she loves how she can talk to people who have used alternative products to overcome different challenges in their life. Herbs have always had a special place in Laura's heart. She remembers her grandpa chewing on yellowroot, which he claimed helped him with “anything that ails ya!” Straight Hemp CBD has always helped her with her arthritis pain, and really helps soothe anxiety. “
