Let’s all hope this goes through before November!

💚 Thank You for Making “Best Buds” a Vibe! 🎨🌿
We just want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Valentine’s Puff-N-Paint this weekend at Wine & Design New Bern & Jacksonville locations! The energy, the creativity, the laughs, and the love in the room were everything we hoped for and more.
We appreciate every single person who supported the event, tagged a friend, brought their best bud, and made it such a memorable night. Events like this are why we love what we do.
More vibes coming soon… stay tuned 👀💨

🤔 Honest question…
Why is it totally acceptable to post pics and videos drinking alcohol, but smoking w**d or making edibles is still considered taboo?
Alcohol is celebrated.
Cannabis is stigmatized.
Same idea. Different standards.
What do you think? 🌿

Who’s a goofy goober?! 🧽
Your Valentine's Day date night just got a lot goofier! 💛💨
Calling all couples who appreciate love, laughter, and a little bit of nautical nonsense—our Late Night 21+ Date Night is officially making waves this Valentine’s Day!
You and your date will create our newest two-canvas painting set, “Best Buds”—a coordinated pair designed to be displayed together. One canvas features a chill pink starfish living his best life, the other a square sunshine-filled sea character with equally elevated vibes. When the paintings come together, their dreamy “smoke” swirls meet in the middle to form a heart—because true Best Buds always line up perfectly 💨❤️
✨ What’s included:
• Painting materials for two coordinating canvases
• A goodie bag for two provided by Above the Roots
• A late-night, adults-only atmosphere that’s more fun than fine dining
This event is ideal for couples who laugh a lot, don’t take Valentine’s Day too seriously, and believe romance is better when it’s slightly unhinged 🧽⭐

Above the Roots is New Bern’s very first stand alone CBD dispensary. We are veteran owned and operated. We also carry all organically grown products that can be used from head to toe or ingested. All of our products are tested by multiple companies before hitting the shelves to ensure that you are getting the BEST products out there.
MEET THE OWNERS:
All the way from Mustang, OK we bring to you... Laura McCoy! Laura moved to New Bern, NC in 2016. (The hot, muggy summers and palmetto bugs must have won her over.) Starting off, Laura worked as a waitress and then quickly moved up the totem pole to a bartender; no surprise there. With her outgoing personality and quick wits she was perfect for the job. (TIP YOUR BARTENDERS PEOPLE.) Shortly after meeting Max, Laura pursued a new job renting homes. -Blah Blah Blah... Let’s get to the CBD part already!- CBD shops were popping up all over Laura’s hometown sparking her interest. After weeks of research, she went on a hunt for CBD shops nearby and came up empty handed. Driven to show others this magical plants benefits, she drafted out a plan. Fulfilling both her passion for healing people while also promoting local businesses and artists, Above the Roots grew into a reality.
Born and raised south of the Mason Dixon line, straight from Craven County we bring you the jet flying, limousine riding, stylin & profilin, wild west son of a gun Maxwell. Max graduated from New Bern High School (08, DON’T HATE!) and then joined the U.S. Army the following year in November 2009. Being trained in the intelligence field he was stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland where he worked for the National Security Agency. All the while staying current on the legalization efforts for Medical Cannabis across America. As the movement built larger and larger he decided the time was right to exit the Army, settle down and return home to his family. After meeting Laura and becoming more focused on owning a small business they set off to learn more about CBD and its healing properties. Out came Above the Roots. While bartending at a local establishment at night and running a business during the day, Maxwell finds the time to educate himself in preparation for a possible expansion into the cultivation of Medical Cannabis in the future, his dream come true.
