Apothecarry Brands CEO Whitney Beatty is a successful entertainment industry executive turned cannabis storage designer that’s spearheading her quickly growing start-up. After meeting so many like minded cannabis users, who lamented about a lack of good storage system, worried about securing buds away from kids and pets and who were tired of searching around for their stash to discover it dried out from plastic baggies and non-airtight dispensary jars, Apothecarry was born. The brand seeks to redefining the image of cannabis users who take pride and pleasure in their stash, while filling a hole in the marijuana paraphernalia market for everyone from the attorneys who tokes after their high powered workday, to the  “stiletto stoners” who are hosting ladies night, to the seniors using medication for health benefits and everyone in between who demands the best in all things.   Website: http://www.theapothecarrycase.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/apothecarry/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/theapothecarry Instagram: @thehighmommylife Merch Merch!   We have finally launched our retail line of Mahogany Mom Merch!  Be a conversation starter with the Continue the Conversation Mug and the This Is Motherhood T-Shirt.  Shop today at www.mahoganymomology.com Produced By: Mahogany Momology Continue the Discussion, Download, Subscribe, Rate, Like, Follow Us, and Share on: Website: www.mahoganymomology.com Twitter: @MMomology Insta: @mahoganymomology FB: @MahoganyMomology FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mahoganymomologist
