PRIMETIME PERSONIFIED

Where Expertise Meets Efficiency

PrimeTime is led by industry veterans who possess a great amount of access and network within the Californian cannabis industry.

 

This enables them to strategically have access to every input of cannabis no matter what the trends are for their customers or as they produce products in-house.

We actively identify key segments within the supply chain that are not being utilized to their full potential and reframe the entire biomass trading and finished good manufacturing process.
