Roses are red, violets are blue, you like smoking flower and that’s why we love you! February was a month to celebrate the ones you love and at Santa Cruz Naturals WE LOVE OUR CUSTOMERS. On Valentine’s Day, we offered exciting deals and individually wrapped roses to each customer that shopped with us. Whether you kept the rose for yourself or gave it to someone that means a lot to you, it was a joy to see faces brighten up in our shops on Valentine’s Day.

      As a company, we strive to stay true to our ethos by supporting our local community, especially around the holidays. That's why we chose to partner with Pure Plant Herbals for an exciting "enter to win - gift basket." This basket was gifted to two lucky winners on Valentine's Day, Erin Hall in Aptos, and the winner of Watsonville wishes to remain anonymous. Erin, however, shared her testimonial with us and explained why she was especially thankful to win.

      Erin was diagnosed with triple-positive invasive ductal carcinoma in September of 2016. After consulting with countless doctors, having terrible side effects from prescription pain killers, and experiencing devastating life trauma Erin found herself searching for other forms of medicine to cure her illness. Finally, there was hope after finding a doctor in Tijuana and turning to cannabis as a form of pain relief. Last year Erin had a mastectomy in New York via co2 laser. When in outpatient surgery she used no pain medication just cannabis oil from Pure Plant Herbals. This is what Erin had to say about their products: 

      "I can't tolerate the taste of most oils and I'm not a fan of the capsules either. I am so thankful for the variety of flavors that Pure Plant Herbals have to offer. I love the Sativa for the day and the Indica at night. The 1:1 and the 20:1 ratios are great too for my friends who are more hesitant about consuming THC. I've recently been using the pain relief cream on my mastectomy scar. Cannabis has truly kept me from dying and continuously relieves my pain. I am sincerely thankful for Pure Plant Herbals as a company, and to have won this amazing gift basket."
