Our Story
Gold Crown Extracts started with an idea in 2015 over a cup of coffee and spiritual healing session. Two high school friends teamed together to start working on how to create the most flavorful dabs the world has ever seen. Our extraction procedures purely come from experimentation helping us create our own procedures unique to our mission. We don’t grow our own cannabis, instead we team up with the best cultivators across the state of Michigan to source our starting material.
