Alchemy is an innovative flagship that rejects staid cannabis clichés to deliver a cerebral experience infused with artistry, nature, and technology. The aesthetic is directly informed by the brand’s identity, which celebrates the tension that exists in the world of cannabis. Not dissimilar to an alchemic transformation, the flagship melds high-tech ingenuity with natural materials to create an elevated space that feels much like a high fashion house or design boutique. The resulting apothecary-like space lands somewhere between a laboratory and a temple.
