Many patients that have been to KCC have surely been greeted by the infectious smile and vibe of Shalee Stout. Shalee is the Assistant Manager at our Kearney location and is a one-in-a-million cannabis professional who has been with the KCC team for just over a year. Her passion for cannabis and helping patients is obvious through every interaction she has and she remains a crowd favorite for KCC patients.

Shalee grew up in St. Joe with family members who used cannabis to find relief from pain, which opened her to the flaws associated with the old stigma around weed. She first tried cannabis for herself on a camping trip with friends when they hotboxed a tent in the woods. Classic introduction story. After that, Shalee used it a couple more times recreationally but it was years later that her perspective on the plant evolved and it became a more central part of her life. While listening to Kings of Leon and smoking she realized how much cannabis helped provide relief from symptoms associated with ADHD. That’s where her medical journey began.

Shalee started to pay attention to the varying effects of different strains. She noticed that indica leaning strains would level her out and help focus her thoughts. She associated the effects to a tunnel saying that she could “tunnel” her focus through hyperactivity. Shalee went on to explain that cannabis helps her be better at her job, living, and being a human.

When asked which brands were at the top of her categorical lists Shalee quickly went to Sinse flower for their consistent quality. She considers herself a flower girl and uses flower (preferably in a bong or bubbler) 95% of the time. Headchange tops her shopping list in the carts and dabs categories while edibles was a split tie between Dixie gummies and Honeybee chocolates.

Shalee’s years of personal experience coupled with her passion for cannabis and the effects it can have on people’s lives gives her all the right tools to provide the best dispensary experience in Missouri.
