Committed to growing premium cannabis, Travis x James offers a line of cannabis flower utilizing cultivars developed by Stem’s Oregon-based TJ’s Garden™ brand (“TJ’s”). TJ’s genetics include “Durban Poison,” one of the world’s top-ranked and best-selling cannabis sativa cultivars. TJ’s has won more than 30 awards at Cannabis Cup events, Dope Cup events, Northwest Cannabis Classic competitions, and others. Most notably, TJ’s was recognized by High Times magazine for producing “The Best Tasting Buds on Earth."

Stem’s edibles brand, Cannavore, offers award-winning artisan confections that are handmade in small batches without artificial ingredients. As part of its Nevada market launch, Stem will introduce Cannavore’s Salted Caramels, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cannavore has been widely recognized for its innovative products, including being named one of "21 Brands to Watch," also by High Times magazine.

“Stem Holdings is proud to introduce Travis x James and Cannavore brands to Nevada, as we know residents and visitors alike will be drawn to our award winning genetics and cultivars,” said Adam Berk, Chief Executive Officer of Stem Holdings. “With more than 44 million visitors each year, the Las Vegas market provides an ideal opportunity to introduce our leading cannabis products to consumers both locally and across the globe, and our entrance into this market is indicative of our company’s strategic approach to growth.”

In January 2019, Stem announced the opening of its first Nevada cultivation facility, which is located only a few miles from Las Vegas Boulevard, commonly known as "The Strip.” The facility includes cultivation, a commercial kitchen, and an extraction laboratory, enabling Stem to introduce other products to the Nevada market in the future.
