Dragon Hemp Apothecary, the only brand combining cannabinoids with Chinese Medicine and spearheading the use of cannabis on the East End, is proud to be the sponsor of Hamptons International Film Festival’s Air, Land + Sea Signature Program.
As their sponsor, Dragon Hemp is gifting attendees of all Air, Land + Sea films at the Sag Harbor Cinema with a sample of their gummies, formulated with signature blends of CBD, THCV, other cannabinoids, and Chinese Herbs.
Along with their own proprietary formulas, all recipients will also get their own Cannabis Seeds from Atlas Seed and information on how to grow a cannabis sativaplant themselves. All recipients will get instructions on how to plant and care for a cannabis plant at home using their “Top Gun” seed pack, a fully feminized and auto-flowering hybrid as part of their #DragonHempHomeGrow campaign. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences of their grow, cultivation, and eventual use of the cannabinoids.
Following the legalization of cannabis in New York came the legalization of growing at a small scale: in New York State, all residents can grow up to six of their own cannabis plants.
Air, Land + Sea program, created with the goal of generating awareness around man-made environmental issues, is presenting The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future, The Forest Maker (US Premiere), and Into The Weeds: Dewayne “Lee” Johnson vs Monsanto Company. Dragon Hemp founder Kevin Menard saw the natural synergy between cannabis and this program.
Menard describes the cannabis plant as “universal – every part of the plant can be used for so many purposes: beyond therapeutic plant medicine, fibers can be used for clothing and construction, and oils for cosmetics and food, packed with omega-6 and omega-3 fats. It is really God’s Gift to Earth”.
He views this partnership as an opportunity to educate consumers about the inherent sustainable nature of growing the plant from seed to a mature plant demonstrates how fruitful cannabis truly is – from the hemp, to the flower, and beyond.
For anyone curious about what makes Dragon Hemp Apothecary’s products and formulations so unique, Menard is hosting gummy tasting in his Sag Harbor apothecary, located next to the Sag Harbor Cinema. The Gummy Bar will offer his five different gummy formulas, all designed to create and enhance different moods or sensations, and offer education on how to properly combine them to create the desired effect.
