Ally Biotech with Vice President of Business Development Chef Francis Baczek today on Blunt Business only on The Cannabis Radio. Our next guest’s company brings next-generation oral delivery technologies to the cannabinoid market, empowering brands to become industry game-changers. Ally Biotech offers product development services and manufacturing-ready, water-soluble Lipofusion™ THC that can be utilized as a raw ingredient in powder or liquid form in a variety of products. There are manufacturing methods used like liposomal technology and bio-mimicking processes that create a more natural pathway in the body for improving absorption. With liposomal technology, safety is more defined than nanotechnology. Nanotechnology fractures the compounds into tiny (nanometer-sized) particles, with the goal of the compounds’ being so small they enter the bloodstream without degradation in the liver. The issue with nano-technology is understanding the pharmacokinetics of the nano-particles and how they truly absorb, distribute, metabolize and excrete (ADME) in the body. We talk about the Lipofusion™ delivery technology.

Vangst with Head of Community Partnerships, Kelsea Appelbaum today on Blunt Business with Jorge Hermida only on The Cannabis Radio. We welcome back a company that works with a wide array of cannabis companies, including large MSOs, single-state operators, and small mom-and-pop shops. They are able to support large cannabis operators and craft, boutique operators in different ways. We previously spoke with Karson Humiston, Founder & CEO back in 2019. We talk about the Vangst platform and how it has progressed today. As New Cannabis Ventures explained: The platform helps to pair prospective employees with cannabis companies. Candidates create a profile, and Vangst helps them to achieve the necessary credentials depending on the state. Cannabis companies can use Vangst to help find qualified candidates and maintain optimal levels of staffing, whether they need full-time employees, gig workers, or a mix of both. When a company finds a gig worker through Vangst, that person is a W-2 employee who clocks in and out and receives payment through the Vangst platform.

Blunt Business discusses Cannabis, Crypto, and the Metaverse with Ryan Hunter, the CEO of Crypto Cannabis Club.

Crypto Cannabis Club CEO Ryan Hunter runs the original NFT collection and Metaverse community for crypto and cannabis enthusiasts, and he is on to talk about the launch of the first ever NFT-powered cannabis brand.

The Crypto Cannabis Club is a groundbreaking new community that forms the intersection of cannabis, crypto, and the Metaverse. Our rapidly growing, global community includes digital art aficionados, high frequency cannabis consumers, and crypto enthusiasts. In November, the CCC launched real world benefits for holders of its NFTs. The CCC has already announced partnerships with leading Cannabis brands including: Highsman, Old Pal, Dr. Dabber, King Palm, Higher Standards, Vibes Papers and Marley Naturals.

CCC now becomes the first NFT collection to provide its members with a real-world cannabis product. To achieve this, the CCC partnered with CampNova to provide California cannabis consumers with premium packaged cannabis flower, hand-selected by the CCC. CCC products are available to all legal cannabis consumers in California – but will be offered at a substantial discount to members of the CCC community who own an NFToker NFT. CCC cannabis products will be initially available in 1/8th ounce packages of premium cannabis flower featuring custom artwork from the CCC. Three packages out of the total production run will also include an NFToker NFT – currently valued at more than $600 each.

"Our goal is to provide the NFT owners in our community with the most exclusive cannabis experiences in the Metaverse and the real world. These worlds are rapidly converging, and we want to create a community beyond NFT ownership that will offer cannabis consumers a pathway between these worlds. Our hope is to be ambassadors between the Metaverse cannabis community and the IRL cannabis community.” Hunter said.

Blunt Business focuses on icon Mike Tyson’s first foray into the cannabis industry with Tyson 2.0 and we speak with Adam Wilks and and Chad Bronstein about the launch.

Tyson 2.0 is legendary boxer, entrepreneur, and icon Mike Tyson’s first foray into the cannabis industry and is focused on bringing consumers high-quality premium cannabis products at affordable price points. 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.

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.
