Being a Partner
You become part of a high-end, community-focused dispensary and lounge, with top-shelf products from our own farm, a fully managed business, and consistent quarterly returns.
Highly Selective
We partner with accredited investors: gross income above $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly) for the last two years, and a net worth exceeding $1,000,000, excluding your primary residence.
Culture, community, and uncompromising quality
Legacy & expertise
Led by a third-generation cannabis grower and industry veteran who has trained over 60,000 students, Chronic Guru is built on deep-rooted heritage and unmatched cultivation knowledge.
A one-of-a-kind experience
We redefine the dispensary model with an “Amsterdam coffee-shop meets speakeasy” style. Our lounges are vibrant hubs where culture, community, and premium cannabis come together.
Commitment to quality
Products are cultivated on our own five-acre farm and curated for genuine benefit, not upsell. Every client interaction is designed to be informative, welcoming, and transformative.
Ready to cultivate comfort?
Chronic Guru was founded by Patrick O’Brien, a third-generation cannabis grower and seasoned veteran who has trained more than 60,000 students at his five-acre cannabis college and farm in Apopka, Florida. Chronic Guru grew from his students’ requests for a more complete approach to cannabis retail than traditional medical centers offered.
Our products are sourced directly from that farm, ensuring the freshest, finest quality at fair prices — with no pressure to buy. We have established locations throughout Central Florida and are expanding into new states as a multi-state operation. Invest in Chronic Guru and grow with a company that is shaping the future of the industry.
