Lynne and Brian Striar - A Canna Love Story

Lynne and Brian Striar are a power canna-couple and pioneers in the Massachusetts cannabis industry. They speak with Joyce at their imaginative and comfortable art gallery in Sharon, Massachusetts, The Broccoli Gallery. Lynne and Brian have been vested in normalizing cannabis use following a family member’s cancer death in 2010, and this powerful canna why has carried them through a long journey from patients to canna-cultivators. 

Their founding business, Four Daughters Compassionate Care, was dedicated to healing their community. This dispensary was acquired by Verano Partnership and is now the Zen Leaf dispensary in Sharon, Massachusetts. They continue on their mission and vision with their newest venture Kapnos Cannabis. Joyce also speaks with Thomas, Kapnos head cultivator, about his vision for the plants he’s growing.

Lynne and Brian are role models for the emerging industry as mentors to social equity businesses, mission driven and their story is not just a love story for each other but a story about the love of cannabis to heal and connect community.
