At Kansas City Cannabis, our staff loves to help guide patients with finding the right medicine. This is certainly no exception for Chris, the assistant manager of the Lake Lotawana location. Chris started with the company last September and has quickly become a go-to person amongst patients and staff members. He has a plethora of cannabis knowledge and an endless amount of compassion for fellow patients.

Chris was first introduced to cannabis in his junior year of high school but realized its medicinal value several years later. The idea was suggested by a family member, which not only helped him find the connection between cannabis and mood regulation but also brought the two people closer together. “Music and weed got me through the hardest part of my life” said Chris while reflecting on his experiences.

Outside of KCC, you can find him throughout the Kansas City metro area performing as DJ Gear. What started as making mix cassette tapes for girls and school field trips blossomed into making mix cds for parties and curating playlists for events. “My first gig as a DJ was fifteen years ago at Alley Catz, which is now known as Stuey McBrew’s. I only brought a pile of mix cds and the venue called me ‘DJ No Gear’, so eventually I bought mixing equipment and changed the name to ‘DJ Gear’”.

Chris’s favorite product is Wedding Cake flower from Kabunky, one of the newest cultivators in the Missouri market. His favorite part about working in cannabis is having the ability to bond with patients and assist them through the process of finding relief in their daily lives. If you are looking for a new strain, product suggestion, or want to say “hi”, be sure to stop by Lake Lotawana and ask for Chris!
