Tanner Gard is a local from Independence and was a long time patient of KCC’s before he saw a job opening at the Blue Springs store and applied. Shortly thereafter, he was on the team and has been for 6 months. He attended Graceland University where he got a degree that aligned with his passion in Film and Theater. He hopes to one day combine his two passions and open a consumption lounge movie theater. After graduation and a short time in Lawrence, Tanner moved back to his hometown and started a family.

Like many of us, Tanner started using cannabis recreationally in college and did so until a little while after graduation. He then started to heavily cut back on his cannabis use at the recommendation of his doctor. Tanner was diagnosed with ADD at an early age and is no stranger to the pharmaceutical drugs that are prescribed for it. When he started to have issues arise, his doctor blamed cannabis. After a significant cut back in his cannabis use without headway towards any resolution, Tanner decided to take a different approach. He started to turn to cannabis again but this time he was reducing his pharmaceutical use.

Since making that adjustment Tanner has been able to explore the plethora of products on the Missouri market. Acknowledging that there is a right time for most any strain, his Mount Rushmore of cannabis is Lemon Skunk from the legacy market, Pink Fluffy Bunnies from Sundro, any Chem Dawg crosses, and Mango Haze from Proper. With consistent homeruns and an affordable price, Headchange is Tanner’s favorite manufacturer. In the end when we landed on his favorite company across the board, Tanner said that he finds himself coming back to Proper for their flower and delicious Honey Bee chocolates.

With his knowledge of Missouri cannabis and his passion for the plant's effects, ask Tanner about his favorite products and he will point you towards the fire on our shelves.
