Located in Northern Humboldt, our family owned and operated business benefits from over 25 years of experience in the cannabis industry. This knowledge is reflected in the quality and consistency of our hand crafted, small-batch beauty and wellness products. Gretchen makes our wellness products in-house using premium organic whole plant extracts in a base of cold-pressed, virgin, organic oils and cannabis flower. We are committed to supporting organic farming methods, organic ingredients, and offering safe, lab-tested products to our community. We source hemp CBD from the northwest United States. Our THC+CBD-rich products are made using sungrown cannabis flower from Humboldt County, and are available in licensed dispensaries throughout California—including Kiskanu Retail Dispensary. Along with our mission to keep Kiskanu as sustainable as possible, we hope to make our products just as accessible.
Unique to Kiskanu Dispensary, located in Eureka, CA, is our indoor cultivation you can view while you shop. Jason’s indoor flower is always available with fresh flavors dropping regularly. Our store features a wide variety of locally-owned brands, sun-grown cannabis flowers from Humboldt and beyond, and Kiskanu’s own line of beauty and sexual wellness products.
We are passionate to share with the world the therapeutic qualities of the cannabis plant we have always believed in.
THE SACRED KISKANU TREE
In ancient Sumeria there was a sacred tree, the Kiskanu Tree, whose branches were used in ritual sprinklings. It is believed to have been the Biblical “Tree of Life” in the Garden of Eden. The name of the tree, “Kiskanu”, serves as our connection between the Tree of Life and Cannabis. The Kiskanu tree was the central point of various rites. A holy grove in the temple is mentioned.
The second part of the name of this notable tree, “kanu” has phonetic similarities with the early names for Cannabis, through the linguistic root “an”, which is found in various cannabis related words; such as the ancient Sanskrit name for hemp “kana”, or “kene”, Persian “canna”, and the original Assyro-Babylonia name for hemp “kannab”, later becoming “qunubu”.
