Andy Evans High School Party. My Introduction to the Cannabis Industry
How it All Started Disclaimer: Based on a true story. Certain names and locations have been altered to protect the identities of those involved. Everyone has their own story about how they got into the cannabis industry, not too dissimilar from everyone having their own story about the first time they consumed cannabis. This is […]
Leafbuyer Technologies AKA Fucking Scum Bags
An Unfortunate Predicament My blog unfortunately does concern itself with the abysmal state of where we are in the cannabis industry in the United States currently. Everyday it just keeps getting worse and with the “people” at the helm of government – if you can call them that – nothing is going to get better […]
Legacy Roots, Corporate Suits: The Tension Defining Cannabis Today
Working in the cannabis space was my first job, I was 15 years old. At that age there are not a lot of entrepreneurial outlets, nor management positions. It’s worth mentioning my age, I’m 43 years old now. So cannabis was still illegal pretty much everywhere when I was 15 because the year was 1997. […]
The Government Has Admitted the War on Drugs Was A Lie
When you hear the words “The War on Drugs,” what does that mean to you? If you watch Fox News or read Breitbart or some other propaganda machine, you probably think this is literal terminology. To anyone (like myself) who has been a victim of the “War on Drugs” or just arrested in general, you […]
Cannabis and Memory Loss, is it Bullshit?
Yes, it pretty much is from everything that I’m finding online. Now, any stoner will tell you the last thing that you want to do after smoking a fat blunt or taking a huge dab is do something that you don’t want to do. If it is a cognitively challenging task, being lit out of […]
Chicago’s Decision to Ban Hemp-Derived THC Products, Excluding Drinks
Chicago has decided to implement a ban on hemp-derived THC products even before any amendment to the 2018 Farm Bill becomes law. However, there is a caveat: the city is still allowing hemp-derived THC beverages. I didn’t even know about this until attending a Cannabis Equity IL Coalition (CEIC) Zoom meeting last week. Banning “Gas […]
Epidiolex and how it is FDA Approved Even Though Cannabis is Still Federally Schedule I
Do You Know What Epidiolex is? First lets explain. Epidiolex is an FDA approved CBD drug that you can only get with a prescription at a pharmacy. It was developed to treat epileptic seizures. A year’s supply for an individual over 18 years old is $42,000 a year. I saw an ad for this drug […]
The Nose Dive on Quality and the Commoditization of Cannabis in This Country
I’ve been wanting to write about this topic for some time. In fact, I have no interest in working in the commercial retail cannabis space in the US. I actually believe that Europe is the place for me, largely for obvious reasons for anyone that reads my blog posts. It’s because the EU doesn’t allow […]
Rick Simpson Oil / FECO Oil: What’s it All About?
I am about to take you on a journey. The amount of enemies of cannabis in this country, abroad, and probably on other fucking planets is just unbelievable. I am not a doctor nor a healthcare professional, but if there were a cure for cancer, you better believe in the U.S. we wouldn’t have access […]
SCHEDULE III DRUG CLASSIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY?
There was a lot of speculation on whether or not Trump would reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III on Monday. As most of you already know, he didn’t. And based on his answer to when it will be done, my guess is no time soon. For the uninitiated, the law and government are […]
