Thrive Apothecary is proudly rooted in Fort Worth, Texas! We honor the city's cowboy heritage as we blaze the trail in bringing quality and transparency to the new Wild West, the rapidly evolving cannabis industry. Our Thrive and WELCEL branded products are crafted locally, with cannabis grown indoors right here in Fort Worth. Each product undergoes a thorough vetting, testing, and selection process to earn the designation of Doctor Approved Cannabis, ensuring only the best for our customers at Thrive Apothecary.

Thrive Apothecary was co-founded in 2018 by Dr. Lisa Gardner and her husband, Trey Phillips. 

Dr. Lisa Gardner is a celebrated physician who has been in practice for over 20 years, and she has been voted “Top Doc” in Fort Worth more than 10 different years, including most recently in 2023. After years in corporate healthcare, Dr. Lisa became increasingly concerned about the heavy reliance on prescription drugs. Her quest for safer, long-term solutions led her to discover the benefits of cannabis.

Realizing that not all cannabis products are created equal, Dr. Lisa co-founded Thrive Apothecary to provide the highest quality cannabis products, ensuring her patients and customers receive the best care possible. At Thrive Apothecary, we are committed to excellence and the well-being of our community.

Trey Phillips, a retired Fort Worth Police Sergeant and SWAT Team Leader, faced severe PTSD, and he discovered the positive effects of cannabis on his mental health. Inspired by the benefits he experienced, Trey and Dr. Lisa envisioned cannabis and plant medicine as the future of mental and physical wellness.

Their commitment to quality, transparency, and advocacy has fueled Thrive’s growth. They now operate three retail locations and an online store that ships products to all 50 states. In 2021, Thrive Medical Cannabis was launched, offering virtual appointments for medical cannabis prescriptions to qualified patients across Texas. Today, Thrive Medical Cannabis is the leading prescriber of medical cannabis in the state.

Every cannabis product at Thrive Apothecary is carefully tested and curated so you can trust that all Doctor Approved Cannabis products we offer are of the highest quality for you, your family, and your pets.
