Terrapin began providing dry leaf medical marijuana to Solevo for the first day of legal sales in PA on August 1, 2018. Terrapin products are available in single gram and 3.5 gram amounts. Check out the menu here!

Terrapin has been with Solevo since the end of April, just after 4/20, shortly after they officially opened their first growing and processing facility in Pennsylvania, located in South Avis in Clinton County. However, Terrapin Care Station’s official roots are in Boulder, Colorado. They were founded in 2009 and hold the first retail marijuana licenses in both Boulder and Aurora, Colorado. The company has expanded to five stores in Colorado, with goals of expanding even more in the future. TCS also operates a retail marijuana cultivation facility in Eugene, Oregon, with plans to also open a storefront there in the near future.

We asked the Terrapin team what inspired them to get into the business. Here’s what they had to say:

"Terrapin Care Station founder, owner and chief executive, Chris Woods, entered the medical cannabis industry in Colorado with the goal of helping patients receive access to life-saving medication. In the time since TCS first established, the known benefits of medical marijuana have become more widespread and accepted. Whether it’s to combat the opioid epidemic or help troops suffering from PTSD, TCS has always maintained its mission to assist patients with access to necessary medication. As more states come online with medical marijuana programs, TCS hopes to take its mission nationwide."

Terrapin Care Station is focused on strains involving more of the medicinal side of cannabis, including CBD and CBG strains. TCS has two strains that produce high CBD — The Wife and Lemon G. The Wife is a very high CBD, very low THC strain that has significant health benefits to address a number of conditions. The Lemon G is a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC. Terrapin notes that finding a 1:1 strain like this is very difficult, so they’re utilizing it in a variety of ways. They are in the process of developing new CBD strains to improve access for patients and expect these new strains to become available soon, which will bring a different variety of ratios to the market.

In terms of CBG, TCS is diving deeper into production. Strains like Moonshine Haze, Dark Blue Dream, and Sour Alien OG, all have CBG traits that are being explored by TCS.  TCS also produces a variety of strains high in THC, with potencies of more than 30 percent. 

At Solevo, you’ll find Terrapin in our selection of capsules, tinctures, cartridges, and more.

We asked Terrapin what makes their specialty area unique. See below!

"TCS cultivates in a manner that brings out the highest genetic potential in all of its cannabis plants. TCS is constantly creating new strains with varying ratios of cannabinoids and terpenes, which bring out the flavor profiles in cannabis. Each plant is given the highest-quality products to allow them to thrive, which brings out the truest form of each strain. The process has taken years of research and development to perfect. TCS understands its strains so well that it can provide each plant with the necessary ingredients to succeed. The process also creates higher terpene and resin profiles."

At Solevo Wellness, we’re accountable to our patients for providing informed and compassionate care and access to the highest quality of medical marijuana products. As such, we choose to work with growers who share a similar passion for quality. See below for what the Terrapin team said when we asked them how they ensure the highest possible degree of patient satisfaction.

"By examining market trends and soliciting feedback from patients, Terrapin Care Station is able to ensure the highest degree of patient satisfaction. For example, widespread reports of patient success with CBG strains has inspired Terrapin Care Station to take a deeper dive into research and development. And since not all patients respond to cannabis the same, TCS wants to offer a wide variety of products to meet differing needs. Our commitment to best practices, technology and innovation in the medical cannabis cultivation and retail fields has allowed us to serve patients with the highest level of cannabis care."

There is one other thing that really makes Terrapin unique, and that is the heavy focus they have placed on veterans in Pennsylvania. They have committed to hiring a workforce made up of 30% veterans. The company also contributes to veterans’ programs in the Clinton County community, including assisting with the rebuilding of a veterans’ memorial. Terrapin held a job fair aimed at veterans, while also working with the community to assist veterans with combating PTSD and opioid addictions.
