Dusk till Dawn.jpg

A Golden State is a luxury, craft cannabis flower brand based out of SoCal. They just launched, exclusively for 2020, their first curated set: a premium stash of your favorite marijuana with the theme of the conflicting yet compatible duo of “Dusk” and “Dawn.” The upbeat Dawn strains are meant to perk you up and spark creativity, and the chill out Dusk strains to wind you down to take in the lazy nights. Housed in a chic keepsake box and designed using a Japanese paper marbling water art technique called suminigashi, the chosen design was inspired by the snowmelt from California’s Mount Shasta used to grow A Golden State flower. Price: $179.00
