    Best Personalized Service, Octavia Wellness

    San Francisco, octaviawellness.com

    Even Baby Boomers who smoked a lot of pot in the ’70s can find today’s cannabis environment bewildering. Octavia Wellness knows this. While working as a video game software developer, Carrie Tice was caring for her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother and had a hard time finding the right medical solution for her needs. When she saw what cannabis had done for her mom, she quit her job and launched Octavia. The company’s 50 traveling “wellness consultants” introduce aging patients to cannabis products and services in group presentations, much like the Tupperware parties Boomers’ parents once hosted.

The GreenState awards were selected via an industry panel. To nominate a service, product or experience for the 2019 awards email ddowns@sfchronicle.com.
