I want it to look like an adult's product and not like a candy product or something that a young person would eat.
Curious about the latest buzz in the cannabis industry? In this episode of the Doing Delta Podcast, hosts David K and John X tackle some hot topics that are shaping the future of cannabis. They kick things off by diving into New York's groundbreaking program that offers dispensary licenses to individuals with past convictions for cannabis and other illegal drugs.
It's a bold move that could reshape the retail landscape and provide new opportunities for those previously marginalized by drug laws. But it’s not all smooth sailing. The hosts also discuss the potential pitfalls, especially when it comes to edibles like gummies. These tasty treats can be a double-edged sword, offering a convenient way to consume cannabis but also posing risks if they fall into the wrong hands. Marketing these products responsibly is a key concern they address.
As the conversation unfolds, David and John explore the growing trend of corporate influence in the cannabis sector. Is the industry losing its grassroots charm as it becomes more commercialized? They weigh the pros and cons, considering how this shift might affect small entrepreneurs and the community at large. Adding a bit of pop culture flair, they share their thoughts on the new Clerks movie and Mighty Kind infused seltzer.
It's not just about cannabis; it's about how it intersects with everyday life and culture. The episode doesn’t shy away from heavier topics either. They touch on the effects of prescription drugs, merit-based systems, and even sexism within the industry. John X wraps things up with a personal anecdote about standing among cacao fruit and bananas, adding a unique flavor to their insightful discussion.
Whether you're a cannabis connoisseur or just curious about the evolving landscape, this episode offers a balanced mix of information, personal stories, and thoughtful commentary.
