We had the good fortune of connecting with Eli Azinheira and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Eli, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I don’t mean to sound cliche but the reason my wife and I opened up a Cbd only shop was to help others with whatever ailment that have.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
There isn’t to many just cbd shops around there’s dispensaries that some people don’t feel comfortable walking into and then there’s smoke shops, tobacco shops, gas stations and stores that sell everything under the sun. All the product I sell I try or have a family member or furry pet try to make sure it does work and what the effects it has so I can pair the correct product with the customer. I treat all my customers like friends and like to know exactly what ailment they have and looking to help I know we all work hard for our money so I don’t want my customers spending a lot of money until they find the correct product that helps them. A lot of times I give them samples to go home and try to make sure it does work before they spend their hard earned money. I would say bout 90% of the time I pair my customers with the product that best helps them. I always ask for there feed back on the product and how it does help them so I can learn more about it and pass it forward to my other customers.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When I get customers into my shop from out of town I always let them know about the Wednesday night street fair in Carlsbad and the farmers market on Thursday morning in Oceanside and the sunset market in the evening. so they could get a feel of the culture of our great community. I also refer them to local restaurants.
