What if buying cannabis felt more like a Michelin-star dining experience than a traditional retail transaction?

Where the staff doesn’t just sell—they guide, educate, and tailor every recommendation to how you want to feel.

No guessing. Just clarity, confidence, and trust—rooted in science-backed evidence.

That’s the vision behind Ethos Cannabis.

When customers are willing to drive past other dispensaries for a meticulous, hospitality-driven, science-based experience, it’s not just working—it’s spreading. Organically. Word of mouth.

This week, we sit down with Gibran Washington, CEO of Ethos, to discuss:

• How Ethos is fusing science, medicine, and retail
• What sets their buying experience apart: intentional, educational, personalized
• How a university partnership is grounding the model in real clinical research
