GreenPharms began as a deeply personal mission when CEO Marie Paredes Saloum sought cannabis alternatives for her husband's recovery after a serious 2008 car accident. After her husband, Arvin Saloum, was seriously injured in a 2008 car accident in California, she sought an alternative to the many pills he was taking during recovery. This experience inspired her to leave the mortgage industry and enter the cannabis space.As one of the first state-licensed medical marijuana dispensaries, GreenPharms eagerly opened its doors in August of 2013. Starting with a single location in Flagstaff, the family-owned company has grown strategically while maintaining its core values. In 2016, they expanded to Mesa, bringing their patient-first approach to the Valley.With over a dozen awards and recognitions in the Arizona Cannabis Industry, our products speak for themselves. What sets GreenPharms apart is their complete independence—Somewhat uniquely in the Arizona cannabis industry, GreenPharms began without any outside investment, which allows them greater control over their products and practices. Recently, they made headlines by transforming their Mesa location into Arizona's first supermarket-style dispensary, complete with shopping carts and open shelving.
