Convergence of personal history and professional expertise
Jennifer Eissler’s journey into the cannabis industry embodies a convergence of personal history and professional expertise. Originating from Blue Springs, her path from a successful 17-year career in massage therapy to becoming a seasoned budtender reflects her innate drive to positively impact people’s well-being. The transition stemmed from the physical toll her massage work began to take on her body, prompting a shift fueled by an insatiable curiosity about the medicinal properties of cannabis. Towards the end of her massage career, client inquiries about CBD and other therapeutic cannabis products ignited a deep-seated interest, seamlessly propelling her into the realm of cannabis.
Her upbringing, notably her mother's use of cannabis, provided an early introduction to the plant. Discovering her mom's stash at a young age sparked her curiosity. Jennifer's experimentation with cannabis later in life, facilitated by a supportive environment, evolved from recreational use to a deep appreciation for its medicinal potential. It's a journey that not only led her to where she is today but also cultivated a bond as her mother remains a loyal customer at KCC.
Reflecting on the evolving cannabis culture, Jennifer observes a burgeoning acceptance, especially among younger demographics, aided by social media. However, she remains cautious about online illegal sales and emphasizes the importance of quality and safety within the industry.
