KC CHRONICLE   May 2022 Newsletter

Our Excelsior Springs dispensary serves patients in a huge radius with many people driving over an hour to get to the store which means a lot of patients in the North have met Keric Crow. Keric officially joined the team in August and has been with our Excelsior crew since day one. He has become a patient favorite because of his genuine desire to help and inform. Before he was officially on the team, Keric received a culinary degree from MU and had been pursuing a career while hoping to one day combine his passions for good food and good cannabis with a manufacturing company.

Like many patients, Keric’s early cannabis experiences were socially driven but he quickly came to the realization that cannabis was also providing pain relief from a chronic cholesteatoma in his right ear canal. A cholesteatoma is a cyst in someone’s ear that continuously grows until treated and can even return after surgical removal. From 2000 to 2014 Keric has had 16 surgeries to remove the cyst. He said, “(Cannabis) helps reduce the swelling in my ears which causes a lot of chronic pain and the ringing in my ears from the tinnitus, which then drives insomnia. It’s a domino effect and cannabis has helped manage all of that.” Keric went on to say that dabs are his preferred method to medicate due to the powerful effects and the bold expression of the flavors and terpenes in concentrates.

So far on his cannabis journey, Keric has gained a wide range of abilities and knowledge and he can’t wait to share them with you. Whether you have questions about cannabis as medicine or you just want to talk to someone about your favorite strain, Keric and the rest of the Excelsior Springs team are the people to ask.
