Azadeh Dast, President of Satellites Dip LLC commented, “We are in a highly regulated, competitive and fast changing industry. Companies with deep understanding of the cannabis industry focus on product consistency, quality of services and agility, and are there to stay. That is why we chose Body and Mind to manage our business operations and take us to the next level.”

The Cathedral City facility contains state of the art distillation equipment including ethanol and BHO processes and is expected to provide Body and Mind speed to market for popular products including oils, shatter, wax, live badder and ambrosia. Additionally, the facility is anticipated to commence producing Body and Mind edibles including Pretzel Bites and Gummies
