A Bone-Anchored Breakthrough for Disc Herniations
Not only is Etain a women-led business, but it was also the first cannabis dispensary in New York to carry the Buy Weed from Women collection. Its curated in-store selection highlights women-led CBD and health and wellness brands. The trio of women who operate Etain are family, and the dispensary was founded in memory of their grandmother, Frances. Granny Franny was a light in everyone’s lives and, during her battle with ALS, Amy, Hillary, and Kelley Peckham began researching medical cannabis and its potential medicinal benefits. Being able to provide quality products is at the forefront of their mission. Etain recently teamed up with artist Claudia Gold for its first Artist Series Motif Magnetic Vape Pen Battery and Blend Pod collaboration. Not only did Gold design a limited edition vape pen battery, but she also created the “Claw Botanica” mural on display in the White Plains location.
