Sam Kanter

Owner & Operator

Sam Kanter, owner of Sam Kanter Events and Dinner at Mary's, has worked in the food industry since 2007, garnering extensive experience in on-premise events and catering in the Boston restaurant scene. She started DAM to bring cannabis and cuisine to the people. A Zagat 30 under 30 winner, Sam is known for pushing the envelope, creating unique experiences for her guests, with a focus on hospitality.

​

With DAM, Sam aims to provide a fun, safe, educational environment for all levels of cannabis familiarity. Her main going is to remove the negative stigma associated with marijuana and show people what it can really do. Sam's relationship with cannabis plays many roles in her life, many of which are productive (long runs, operating her business, calming anxiety) proving cannabis' positive impact.

​

She hopes the role of cannabis in mainstream culture can shift to its deserved position rivaling both alcohol and big name pharma as a healthy, effective alternative.
