Proven Experience

We’re not career consultants—we’re operators.

We’re Caroline and Adam Pineau—cannabis entrepreneurs who launched Stem Dispensary and are currently building Stem Upstairs, a first-of-its-kind cannabis lounge. Along the way, we’ve gained years of experience creating private consumption events—from the Green Goddess Invitational to Bong & Pong, Beach Bash, and our hyper-local We(ed) Can Help education series. Now we’re ready to help you turn vision into reality.

Stem Dispensary (Haverhill, MA) — A woman-owned, social equity-founded dispensary with 5+ years of proven success.

Stem Upstairs (in development) — Massachusetts’ first licensed cannabis consumption lounge, blending education, entertainment, and community.

Stem Handcrafted — Our own line of in-house cannabis products, created onsite to fill menu gaps, offer unique experiences, and control quality and pricing. Popular lines include Adam’s Dime Bag, MVP Prerolls, Lil’ Js Pre-Roll Packs, and flower offerings from ⅛ths to full ounces.

When we say we understand this industry, it’s because we live it—retail, events, lounges, and product innovation.
