Hey Podcast - You are going to love Sarah Jane! These women are making cannabis approachable. They're using their own experience and genuine appreciation and love of women and cannabis to create community. The Sarah Jane IG posts are fresh, fun, engaging, and keep my feed happy and inspired. In 2020 Sarah Jane will have a microdosing collection on Michigan Provisioning Center shelves. Beautifully packaged, approachable cannabis options - mini j's, edibles, and a spritz. These are the kind of cannabis products you want out because they're so pretty!

Sarah Tupper, Jessica Lind, and Maya Reading met at the University of Michigan and have remained close friends ever since, and now 20 years later are coming together to make cannabis accessible and fun for Midwestern women.

Join me for a conversation with Sarah about the origins of Sarah Jane, idea to first product kit launch, creating community, and discussing cannabis with your family, friends, and co-workers.

Hey Podcast - I have a soft spot for Michiganders and North Coast Provisions is no exception. I'm still energized by my conversation with Sean. We discuss what it takes to start a provisioning center (dispensary) in Michigan including finding a location, building out a facility, and the state and local application process. Sean and I also chop it up on the future of cannabis, how being a family/friend-owned business informs values and culture, and the pros and cons of self-funded organic growth in the industry.

Thank you North Coast Provisions for sitting down with Cannabis Curious! I appreciate you taking time to shed light on cannabis in Michigan as a licensed provisioning center. You may hear some background noise throughout the conversation as we met at Copper House Coffee. Thank you Copper House for the excellent coffee!

Hey Podcast - I'm so excited about this episode! I had the opportunity to talk to Stormy Simon. Stormy is a bad ass! As former President of Overstock.com she led the company through tremendous growth ($20M to $2Bn) while helping to shape eCommerce as we know it today.  She left Overstock.com in 2016 to join cannabis and has been an ally and advocate for medical access, social equity, agency, and entrepreneurs ever since. Stormy is an incredible leader, advocate, and person. Stormy's presence and nuanced understanding of cannabis is a gift to the movement, people, and patients.

Hey Podcast -  Super excited to share this conversation with you! I sat down with Stephen Goldner Founder of Pure Green, a vertically integrated cannabis company here in Michigan. Stephen began his career in pharmaceuticals when he invented methadone. As he watched his friends come back from the Vietnam War addicted to heroin, he was determined to find a cure for heroin addiction. In the early 1970's, Mr. Goldner co-invented both the liquid form of methadone and urine screening.  As Stephen watched his friends struggle with PTSD and other diseases, he also saw them effectively manage their own symptoms with cannabis. Pure Green was the first company to receive a medical cannabis processor license in Michigan. This has allowed Stephen to lead Pure Green through the process of developing pharmaceutical-grade water-soluble cannabis tablets enabling safe, effective and predictable dosing for patients. 

Mr. Goldner has more than 35 years experience as a regulatory professional in the healthcare arena as both a forensic toxicologist and an attorney. . Additionally, as founder of the Regulatory Affairs Associates LLC, Mr. Goldner has helped helped get more than 240 drugs and devices approved.
