“Today is monumental for our Company.

We knew that partnering with Stem and launching Stem's portfolio of brands in Nevada would be significant for customers and patients in Nevada by providing them with a high-quality product, in a number of options, in a market where we believe those things are lacking,” explains Elad Yerushalmi, YMY’s Director of Nevada Operations. “We know that the quality, dosing accuracy and sophistication of Stem’s products combined with our execution plan, will make for a strong impact in this major cannabis market.”
YMY’s Las Vegas facility will also produce high-quality flower utilizing cultivation expertise powered by TJ’s Gardens and Yerba Buena – Stem’s esteemed cannabis brands that, have taken home 36 cannabis cups combined.
