The Experience, Emeryville: Ohana Cannabis Co. CBD Product
The Experience:
Alphabet Soup of Cannabinoids Part Two: Introducing Pure Beauty!
Pure Beauty sustainably produces a quality indoor-grown CBD* dominant flower. Growing plants indoors, they can control the environment while nurturing their plants to the flower stage. All of the water used in their cultivation is collected from the air because a single cannabis plant needs approximately 150-250 gallons of water to reach flowering state. They also use bugs – like rolly-pollys, earthworms and nematodes along with friendly bacteria, fungi and protozoa to create a “soil food web”, naturally preventing disease and plant-eating predators, providing nutrients and protection. You can feel like you are being good to the planet when using Pure Beauty products! And, Pure Beauty is a women/minority owned company!
This CBD dominant flower is good for those who have low tolerance for THC and, also for:
- Pain management
- Sleep aid
- Recreation
- Inflammation & arthritic relief

- CBN is for SLEEP. For some it is described as a mild analgesia and a potential aid for sleep. Produces a nonexistent high.
- CBG is for PAIN, ANXIETY, NAUSEA It is purported when combined with THC Delta 9 to block the detection of a painful or injurious stimulus by sensory neurons. Produces a nonexistent high.

About Trader Vic’s + the Mai Tai
Decades ahead of his time, Vic ‘The Trader’ Bergeron chose to offer Chinese dishes alongside the then-contemporary Continental cuisine, creating maybe the original fusion menu. Today, Trader Vic’s continues the tradition and still uses the Chinese Wood-fired Ovens featuring dishes from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia, and Japan. And, as we all know, Trader Vic’s claims to be home to the original Mai Tai.
According to the Trader, Vic Bergeron, “In 1944, after success with several exotic rum drinks, I felt a new drink was needed. I was at the service bar in my Oakland restaurant. I took down a bottle of 17-year-old Jamaican J. Wray Nephew rum, added fresh lime, some Orange Curaçao from Holland, a dash of Rock Candy Syrup, and a dollop of French Orgeat, for its subtle flavor. A generous amount of shaved ice and vigorous shaking by hand produced the marriage I was after. Half the lime shell went in for color, I stuck in a branch of fresh mint, and gave two of them to Ham and Carrie Guild, friends from Tahiti, who were there that night. Carrie took one sip and said, “Mai Tai – Roa Ae” In Tahitian means “Out of this World- The Best”. Well, that was that, I named the drink ‘Mai Tai.’”

They focus on crafting wines with a distinctive sense of place and look for that perfect balance of steep hillside vineyards, older vines, and vigor-reducing growing conditions.
Founded by Michael and Anne Dashe, Dashe Cellars crafted its first vintage of Dry Creek Zinfandel in 1996. Since that time, the Dashe’s have focused on producing exceptional, single-vineyard wines using a traditional, non-industrial approach to winemaking
