"From Outlaw to Entrepreneur: The Evolution of Cannabis Farming"

Larry Mishkin is joined by Nick Erickson from Full Moon Farms in California. Nick shares his family's long history in California, dating back to the Gold Rush era. He discusses his introduction to cannabis cultivation, growing up around marijuana plants, and his experiences with law enforcement raids during the outlaw era of cannabis farming.

He explains the transition from illegal to legal cannabis cultivation in California after the state's legalization in 2016. He highlights the challenges and benefits of operating a legal cannabis farm, including the importance of testing for safety and quality control.

The conversation delves into the evolution of cannabis culture, the emergence of scientific understanding around terpenes, and the increasing focus on quality and sustainability in cannabis farming. Erickson emphasizes the significance of terroir, microclimates, and genetic diversity in producing unique cannabis strains with distinct flavors and effects.

Overall, the transcript provides insights into the experiences of a legacy cannabis grower navigating the transition to a regulated market while maintaining a commitment to craft cultivation practices.
