Manage episode 381873986 series 3509840
Ever wonder why cannabis delivery and many MSOs are missing from Washington State's cannabis industry, and how none of the operators in the market are carrying an AR balance? Tune-in as AnnaRae Grabstein and Ben Larson embark on an in-depth journey to uncover the fascinating dynamics of Washington's unique cannabis market, with special insights from our esteemed guest, Dr. Jordan Zager, CEO and co-founder of Dewey Scientific.
This episode is a treasure trove of knowledge, from how the 2018 Farm Bill and the Delta 8 craze have not impacted the cannabis market like they have so many others, to the intriguing science behind cannabis genetics. As we spotlight the challenges and opportunities faced by cannabis brands in Washington, from residency requirements to intensive background checks, we reveal the reality of small brands battling for market presence in an otherwise incredibly stable market. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the retail landscape and the restrictions hindering the growth of the industry.
Join us as we stay curious, informed, and keep our spirits high in this exploration of the world of cannabis in Washington State.
