This month, NCIA spoke with Stesha Reis, director of operations for Green Chief and Baked Botanicals in Washington state. They were the first edibles on the recreational market in Washington and will soon be launching a line of topicals. She is also the president of the Washington Marijuana Association as well as being involved in many other groups.

How do you uniquely serve the cannabis industry?

Baked Botanicals uniquely serves the cannabis industry through the largest selection of tested cannabis edibles in the state of Washington. We strive to provide a safe, enjoyable, and consistent experience to everyone. Many of our employees have been in the cannabis industry in one way or another for more than 10 years. We honestly care about our products and are continuously striving to have the best – the best experience, the best tasting, the best ingredients. We have people who love what they do and it shows in our products.

Why should those seeking infused cannabis products look for Green Chiefs Baked Botanicals?

Those seeking cannabis-infused products should look for Baked Botanicals because we make everything by hand, from scratch, with quality ingredients. We offer edibles that you would find in a good bakery, or in your mom’s kitchen…only infused with high-grade cold-pressed CO2 Oil. We want the consumer to be able to look to us as the “Gold Standard” in cannabis edibles.

You’ve been working closely with various groups in Washington state on cannabis regulations. Tell us more about what you’ve been doing to “raise the bar” for the cannabis industry.

We as a company have striven to be an answer and sounding board for other new producers, processors, and retailers as they go through the processes to become cannabis entities. We want everyone to feel like we can get our questions answered, and we want to help get other people’s questions answered. The more knowledgeable that we are as a state and as a group of entrepreneurs, the more successful we will be and the better we will be able to educate the general public.

Why did you get involved in NCIA?

We got involved in NCIA to be a part of something bigger – something that would have a positive impact on the cannabis market in Washington. We are here to learn from the best and exchange ideas and information relevant to our market.
