C3 Industries announced the opening of “High Profile” cannabis shop in Wilder, its second Kentucky dispensary, at 23 Country Drive. 

The location serves registered medical cannabis patients, extending access in a region where Kentucky’s medical cannabis program is still new and many patients are still navigating certification for the first time.

Inside, High Profile Wilder is designed for a straightforward visit. A licensed dispensary team is available to answer questions and help match products to each patient’s certification, with a full selection of medical cannabis products, including flower, edibles, vaporizers, concentrates and Rick Simpson Oil. The store is open Monday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and offers in-store shopping, online pre-ordering for in-store pickup and express checkout.

“Kentucky patients deserve medical access that is local, reliable, and built around their needs,” said State Regional Vice President at C3 Industries Jason Berkenstock. “With London already open and Wilder now serving Northern Kentucky, we’re expanding thoughtfully across the state while keeping patients and caregivers at the center of every market we enter.”

High Rollers Rewards gives members $75 in value across their first four visits, 6% back on every purchase and access to rotating member promotions and double-points days. The program is designed to give registered patients consistent value as they return to High Profile and as more dispensaries open across Kentucky. 

“We’ve seen how valuable the patient drives can be for people who are still learning how Kentucky’s medical cannabis program works,” said Ellen Figliulo, District Manager for High Profile. “Kentucky Cannabis Industry Association and Kentucky Medical Cannabis have been strong partners in helping patients complete the certification process, and our Wilder team is ready to support them once they’re able to shop.”

“Kentucky’s medical cannabis program is still new, and the biggest hurdle for most patients is simply getting certified and understanding the steps,” said Executive Director of the Kentucky Cannabis Industry Association Rachel Roberts. “Kentucky Cannabis Industry Association organizes patient drives across the state to meet that need, connecting patients directly with independent practitioners for certification, notary services on site, and one-on-one guidance through the application.” 

Those drives are hosted at High Profile’s Wilder location every Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. New and renewing patients are welcome, and anyone can find the full schedule here

Registered Kentucky medical cannabis patients age 18 and older who have a qualifying condition and a valid Kentucky medical cannabis card can shop in-store or place orders ahead on the website or by calling (859) 444-5530. Patients can also download the High Profile mobile app for ordering, updates, and grand opening details.
