Meet the new flavor in the family – Strawberry Sunset ‘Chill.’ Dusted in sour sugar and doused with vivid flavor\, Camino Sours’ 10MG THC vegan gummies have real sour power. \nIWC is a nonprofit that seeks to serve\, support\, and advance women within the Illinois cannabis industry. As the industry continues to mature\, we are using networking\, education\, and mentorship to facilitate opportunities for women who are exploring\, connected to\, and/or employed in the regulated cannabis industry. \nIt’s a business casual evening of light appetizers and one drink included in your ticket purchase. \nDoors open at 5:00 PM for IWC Members and 5:30 PM for Non-Members \n21+\nRSVP Required.
