The Story
Founded after Adam Grossman used a slow-cooker to formulate a cannabis balm that relieved his father ("Papa") Mort's chronic back pain and brought him home from hospice. The family dog, a pit bull named Barkley, lends the other half of the name. The "kitchen recipe" Releaf Balm remains the flagship nearly a decade later.
