President Greg Baughman and CEO Tracee McAfee  invented Cryo Cure’s patent-pending technologies which skip the hanging phase of drying. The system dries and cures cannabis through freeze drying it in as little as 24 hours. The resulting product is light, fluffy, and aromatic, with trichomes and terpenes intact and flavor profile preserved as if at the height of freshness.
