Today we talk to the folks at LIM College, a leading educational authority in the business of fashion and its adjacent fields, which recently launched a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) degree program in The Business of Cannabis. The MPS program in The Business of Cannabis will be delivered fully online and can be completed in one calendar year. It is designed for career-changers as well as those who are interested in advancing their current cannabis-related careers. Coursework will encompass retailing, social and economic justice, marketing, supply chain, regulatory compliance, and more. Master's degree candidates will also complete a capstone project, where they will develop a formal plan for the cannabis business and pitch it directly to industry professionals. Courses will be taught by professionals currently working in the cannabis industry. Coursework will encompass retailing, social and economic justice, marketing, supply chain, regulatory compliance, and more. Master's degree candidates will also complete a capstone project, where they will develop a formal plan for the cannabis business and pitch it directly to industry professionals. According to Leafly, there are now 321,000 full-time American cannabis jobs. With the industry’s expansion, it’s not surprising many accredited universities are investing time and money into cannabis education. Some universities only offer a few classes while others have full degrees in cannabis. Colleges and universities across the country are stepping up to meet the demand for workers skilled in the cannabis industry, and they’re connecting their graduates with potential employers.

Today we talk to the folks at LIM College, a leading educational authority in the business of fashion and its adjacent fields, which recently launched a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) degree program in The Business of Cannabis. The MPS program in The Business of Cannabis will be delivered fully online and can be completed in one calendar year. It is designed for career-changers as well as those who are interested in advancing their current cannabis-related careers. Coursework will encompass retailing, social and economic justice, marketing, supply chain, regulatory compliance, and more. Master's degree candidates will also complete a capstone project, where they will develop a formal plan for the cannabis business and pitch it directly to industry professionals. Courses will be taught by professionals currently working in the cannabis industry. Coursework will encompass retailing, social and economic justice, marketing, supply chain, regulatory compliance, and more. Master's degree candidates will also complete a capstone project, where they will develop a formal plan for the cannabis business and pitch it directly to industry professionals. According to Leafly, there are now 321,000 full-time American cannabis jobs. With the industry’s expansion, it’s not surprising many accredited universities are investing time and money into cannabis education. Some universities only offer a few classes while others have full degrees in cannabis. Colleges and universities across the country are stepping up to meet the demand for workers skilled in the cannabis industry, and they’re connecting their graduates with potential employers. Marijuana companies, meanwhile, can turn to these institutions to fill their ranks. The cannabis industry is expected to support between 425,000 and 520,000 full-time jobs in the United States this year, according to the MJBiz Factbook.

Today let’s talk to the people behind this new venture, Adam Wilks and Chad Bronstein. Adam formerly served as Chief Executive Officer of One Plant, a multi-state cannabis retail chain. Prior to One Plant, he served as COO of the venture capital firm SOL Global. Wilks also spent more than a decade scaling licensed retail brands including PinkBerry and Cold Stone Creamery. We dive into how Adam got involved with the folks at Columbia Care and how he and Mike Tyson got into business together. Jesse Channon, Columbia Care's Chief Growth Officer, whom we interviewed on Cannabis Radio said. "Celebrity sponsorship is one of the most effective ways to build an immediate product and brand recognition. Influencers have driven some of the most successful brands, from sneakers to alcohol and now cannabis. Mike Tyson is creating a completely different and authentic experience, and has positioned himself as a true ambassador for cannabis products.” CNBC referenced some of the top celebrity-related cannabis companies.<br /><br />The family of music legend and cannabis advocate Bob Marley launched the “Marley Natural” cannabis line in 2016. Rapper and mogul Jay-Z created the “Monogram” cannabis line in 2020. Actor and comedian Seth Rogen, known for stoner comedies, started his “Houseplant” cannabis company in 2019. Martha Stewart launched her namesake CBD brand in 2020 and markets the line of wellness products for people and pets.

We dive into how Adam got involved with the folks at Columbia Care and how he and Mike Tyson got into business together. Jesse Channon, Columbia Care's Chief Growth Officer, whom we interviewed on Cannabis Radio said. "Celebrity sponsorship is one of the most effective ways to build an immediate product and brand recognition. Influencers have driven some of the most successful brands, from sneakers to alcohol and now cannabis. Mike Tyson is creating a completely different and authentic experience, and has positioned himself as a true ambassador for cannabis products.” CNBC referenced some of the top celebrity-related cannabis companies.<br /><br />The family of music legend and cannabis advocate Bob Marley launched the “Marley Natural” cannabis line in 2016. Rapper and mogul Jay-Z created the “Monogram” cannabis line in 2020. Actor and comedian Seth Rogen, known for stoner comedies, started his “Houseplant” cannabis company in 2019. Martha Stewart launched her namesake CBD brand in 2020 and markets the line of wellness products for people and pets. Whoopi Goldberg, Jim Belushi, and of course Cheech and Tommy Chong are among the other many notables.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2133</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/4800bbd9b13aee31c66927778d2989f3.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Plant Prophets with Host Vern Davis</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/plant-prophets-with-host-vern-davis--48844912</link><description><![CDATA[Plant Prophets with host Vern Davis today on Blunt Business with Jorge Hermida only on Cannabis Radio.

The CEOs say they expect narrow reform around banking ahead of legalization. If you really wanted to create an industry that’s dependent on gangs and cartels, make it all cash.

Studies of MDMA, ketamine, psilocybin mushrooms, and other psychedelics have shown tremendous potential for therapeutic applications. In May 2021, Nature Medicine published the results of the most advanced trial of psychedelic therapy to date. In our Phase 3 trial of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD, 88% of participants who received MDMA in conjunction with trauma-focused therapy experienced a clinically significant reduction in symptoms; 67% of participants no longer met the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis. Many participants reported MDMA-assisted therapy helped them address the root cause of their trauma for the first time. Using a process his lab developed in 2015, Chang Lu, the Fred W. Bull Professor of Chemical Engineering in the College of Engineering, is helping his Virginia Commonwealth University collaborators study the epigenomic effects of psychedelics.

Studies of MDMA, ketamine, psilocybin mushrooms, and other psychedelics have shown tremendous potential for therapeutic applications. In May 2021, Nature Medicine published the results of the most advanced trial of psychedelic therapy to date. In our Phase 3 trial of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD, 88% of participants who received MDMA in conjunction with trauma-focused therapy experienced a clinically significant reduction in symptoms; 67% of participants no longer met the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis. Many participants reported MDMA-assisted therapy helped them address the root cause of their trauma for the first time. Using a process his lab developed in 2015, Chang Lu, the Fred W. Bull Professor of Chemical Engineering in the College of Engineering, is helping his Virginia Commonwealth University collaborators study the epigenomic effects of psychedelics. Their findings give insight into how psychedelic substances like psilocybin, mescaline, LSD, and similar drugs may relieve symptoms of addiction, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

While 61% of New York State residents support the legalization of adult-use recreational marijuana sales, more than half (52%) of those living in New York City would oppose its sale in their neighborhood. This disparity between general support and willingness to actually live near one is a significant problem when communities decide where, if anywhere, they want to allow marijuana retail sales. With 61% of New York state residents believing a community should have the right to "opt-out" and ban marijuana sales in their community altogether, the battle to site facilities is likely to require extensive community outreach and education efforts. This is based on a New York state survey conducted by Consensus Strategies on March 5-7, 2021. Here to delve more deeply into the findings is the CEO of Consensus Strategies, Patrick Fox. The New York State Legislature is on the precipice of passing a measure legalizing adult-use recreational marijuana. Lawmakers are likely to reach a cannabis consensus and act on a stand-alone bill as soon they address lingering concerns about traffic stops and safety. Local zoning and planning authorities will have the ability to decide where retail and cultivation facilities will be able to locate within their communities. They can choose to allow them in higher visibility general retail zones treating them like a liquor store. They can relegate them to more obscure, lower profile areas like an industrial park and restrict signage and visibility or they can ban the use in their community completely. The majority of New Yorkers (53%) believe that marijuana retail should keep a low profile and locate outside of high visibility retail areas. Gaining support for cultivation facilities where marijuana is grown and processed will be even more challenging with 62% of those over 50 opposed to cultivation facilities in their neighborhood. 53% of Black/African-Americans and 61% of Hispanic/Latinos statewide oppose cultivation in their communities. We cover all this and more on Consensus Strategies with CEO Patrick Fox today on Blunt Business only on Cannabis Radio.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/44240846</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:10:53 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/44240846/blunt_patrickfox.mp3" length="41406447" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Cannabis Radio</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Consensus Strategies with CEO Patrick Fox today on Blunt Business only on Cannabis Radio.

Beyond that, we try not to pay too much attention to what the competition is doing because we have no visibility into how they make decisions or how those decisions are working for them.” Travis recently launched "GrowFlow Live Marketplace" to Seamlessly Connect Cannabis Buyers and Sellers Through Compliant Transactions.

Our next guest is the CEO of a platform that strives to increase diversity and inclusion within the emerging medical cannabis industry, ensuring that all communities, especially those of color, have an opportunity to participate in the economy of the future. Uplift Maryland was founded on the principle to take what the generation before has created and elevated it to the next level. You were able to make something that was once illegal and incarcerated many Black men and turn it into a positive by providing an education of opportunity, especially to those who have been marginalized by oppressive and unjust drug policies. At the time of this recording House, Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) announced that lawmakers would soon be voting on a bill to decriminalize marijuana federally, leaving regulation up to the states. The vote would mark the first time either chamber of Congress ever voted on decriminalization of marijuana. In an email to lawmakers, Clyburn said the House would take up the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, first introduced by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), which would remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act.

Our next guest is the CEO of a platform that strives to increase diversity and inclusion within the emerging medical cannabis industry, ensuring that all communities, especially those of color, have an opportunity to participate in the economy of the future. Uplift Maryland was founded on the principle to take what the generation before has created and elevated it to the next level. You were able to make something that was once illegal and incarcerated many Black men and turn it into a positive by providing an education of opportunity, especially to those who have been marginalized by oppressive and unjust drug policies.

MJBiz recently published the 8th Annual Marijuana Business Factbook and we look at the overall scope of findings. “Though the long-term outlook for the recreational side of the industry is more bullish than for medical, MMJ sales are expected to grow at roughly the same pace in 2020.

Reasons for this come from the recent rapid growth and high demand for CBD, leading to an increase in hemp production as well as the increase in hemp prices.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2383</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/4800bbd9b13aee31c66927778d2989f3.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Insuring Cannabis Companies</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/insuring-cannabis-companies--20031627</link><description><![CDATA[Insuring Cannabis Companies with Laura Bianchi, Managing Partner of Bianchi Brandt & Hale.

Our guest is part of a company that has created a solution to deliver a consistent consumer experience and cannabis product. Their software and hardware solutions will standardize and help to automate the cannabis cultivation process. TriGrow’s cannabis cultivation solution hardware and software are meant to standardize and automate cultivation. The software solution allows for a consistent product regardless of the location of the cultivation facility so that MMJ’s customers can have a similar consumption experience no matter where they buy the product. Not unlike McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. The consistency is also beneficial from a business standpoint as it gives the grower some predictability and that allows the company to have reliable information which helps with business planning. Green Market Report reported on the grow facilities, but what set this one apart was the vertical stacking of the TriGrow units. It’s typical to see rolling tables to maximize the floor space, but stacked tables with catwalks really maximize the amount of yield a producer can get from a warehouse space with tall ceilings.

Our guest is part of a company that has created a solution to deliver a consistent consumer experience and cannabis product. Their software and hardware solutions will standardize and help to automate the cannabis cultivation process. TriGrow’s cannabis cultivation solution hardware and software are meant to standardize and automate cultivation. The software solution allows for a consistent product regardless of the location of the cultivation facility so that MMJ’s customers can have a similar consumption experience no matter where they buy the product. Not unlike McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. The consistency is also beneficial from a business standpoint as it gives the grower some predictability and that allows the company to have reliable information which helps with business planning. Green Market Report reported on the grow facilities, but what set this one apart was the vertical stacking of the TriGrow units. It’s typical to see rolling tables to maximize the floor space, but stacked tables with catwalks really maximize the amount of yield a producer can get from a warehouse space with tall ceilings. These units can be stacked three high which can increase the yield by 7.8 times and they are like Lego pieces. The units can be stacked on top of each other or linked side by side and each comes complete with its own set of lights. There is a catwalk system that comes with vertical stacking.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1908</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/4800bbd9b13aee31c66927778d2989f3.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Building An Integrated Portfolio Of Cannabis Retail And More</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/building-an-integrated-portfolio-of-cannabis-retail-and-more--19751287</link><description><![CDATA[Building an integrated portfolio of cannabis retail and more with Brian Baca, CEO of ikänik Farms, Inc. Our guest is the CEO of a new company working on building an integrated portfolio of cannabis retail dispensaries, cultivation facilities, offering iconic, inspiring hand-crafted cannabis brands, delivered in an unsurpassed retail experience. When we look at cannabis becoming a global emerging commoditized market in the future, we actually took a step back. As opposed to taking a traditional MSO approach – which everyone else has done, and I think it’s very overworked – we needed to really look at what the big picture is…and the big picture, if you really want to be a player, is global positioning. You can’t really compete unless you have equal footing. Brian recently received all necessary licenses required to begin the construction of a cannabis camp in Adelanto, California. This base camp will significantly enhance Ikänik’s ability to serve key verticals such as cultivation, extraction, and distribution in California’s multi-billion-dollar legal cannabis market. The Company expects to complete Phase I of Base Camp’s construction by January 2020.

Our guest’s company is addressing many of the issues that they personally encountered using vape devices on the market. With so many different vaping options to choose from these days, how can you know if you’re getting the best vape experience? Vape pens consist of two pieces, a battery, and a cartridge. Most pens today were designed for nicotine e-juice and not thicker cannabis oils. Also, many vape brands on the market have tiny mouthpieces with not much airflow. Think of it like trying to suck a very thick milkshake through a coffee stirrer...v hard!. Orchid strived to build “superior hardware and high-quality extracts that make your device consistent and will not compromise flavor with impurities from the manufacturing process. The Orchid Essentials vape pen was created with superior hardware and the highest quality extracts. They wanted the design of the pen to be similar to a medical device - quality, ease of use, efficacy, and safety. Before we go into the build of the device, why was it important to go the way of a medical device. The cartridge is made with high-quality materials like glass, kanthal wire, and cotton. Unlike other mouthpieces, Orchid’s pen has a wide body for enhanced airflow. The cartridges can hold five times the typical amount of apertures to ensure the cotton wick is more saturated with oil. The battery on the pen is heavy-duty, which allows for longer battery life, and charges easily and quickly with an average of the 500-gram total battery.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/19217606</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Sep 2019 04:00:13 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/19217606/blunt_mangold.mp3" length="31647518" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Cannabis Radio</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Vape devices and the issues in the market with Corey Mangold, Co-Founder &amp; CEO of Orchid Essentials.

The natural foods brand Evo Hemp and its parent company, Hemp Health LLC, were created “to facilitate the evolution of the United States family farm,” Sherman says. “The Hemp Health mission is to lift rural communities out of poverty with industrial hemp farming.” Evo Hemp is the retail arm of that mission, developed to deliver hemp-based products to the consumer market, from energy bars to protein powder to hemp hearts, oils, snacks and extracts. Today, the Evo brand can be found in more than 3,000 retail stores, including big names like Whole Foods, Kroger and Costco.

Let’s welcome the Founder of Honest Marijuana Company. The vision for Honest Marijuana came to mind in 2008. Anthony had moved to Colorado, just a couple of years after the medical marijuana movement lit up. The laws were still fairly new and not many doctors there were writing up scripts. Anthony, with his slew of sports injuries, and his inquisitive nature, was the perfect patient for medical marijuana. He had the right medical history to get doctors into the swing of writing scripts for spliffs. But, Anthony wasn’t interested in being a patient; he wanted to be a producer. Having worked as a landscaper for close to a decade, Anthony had surrounded himself with quality, like-minded people who were all for going green (in the general organic sense that is).

The cannabis industry is booming. So why can’t consumers pay with “plastic” when buying legal cannabis? Why are there machine gun-carrying guards inside of legal cannabis businesses (dispensaries), and a constant stream of armored cars coming and going? Why are cannabis business owners hoarding mattresses—and entire houses—full of loose cash? Both the legal cannabis and banking industries want each other badly: dispensaries crave access to banking services. Without those services, the capabilities of dispensaries are severe, painfully limited for owners, employees, customers—and even regulators, who crave organization and documentation in order to do their compliance audits. And about those banks… Community banks and credit unions are on the decline, and desperately need the business from this thriving new industry. So why aren’t they easily able to take on dispensaries and cash in? Up until now, they just simply don’t have the resources (both human and technological) to easily vet dispensaries and efficiently understand which ones are in compliance, and which ones pose too much risk. Enter Green Check Verified, a just-launched cloud-based SaaS platform automating every aspect of compliance for cannabis banking (with easy to use, no-download-required dashboards for both banks and dispensaries). Through the one-of-a-kind combo of cutting-edge technology and human input, GCV navigates complex, often ridiculous banking regulations, ensuring that cannabis businesses and banks can mutually profit from each other’s services, by demonstrating compliance on both sides in real-time!

We want to create a place for veterans to speak about their combat experiences and the therapeutic benefits of medical cannabis, specifically as it relates to the traumas of war. We promote the medicinal benefits of cannabis and how to better address issues of pharmaceutical dependence, depression, anxiety, anger, and other ailments. The SCVA team also hopes to bring awareness to the issue of veteran suicide, which occurs at a staggering rate of at least 22 a day.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2370</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>blunt business</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/6977c30086a3f47014e6c2670280e1ff.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>How to Decarb Cannabis Safely and Effectively at Home</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-to-decarb-cannabis-safely-and-effectively-at-home--12741067</link><description><![CDATA[Today on Blunt Business Sean is joined by Shanel Lindsay.
