Don Andrews: Bringing CBD Flower to New York

Don Andrews is a serial entrepreneur who owns multiple smoke shops and ancillary cannabis retailers in upstate New York. Don’s latest project, Upstate CBD, is launching soon as the state’s first CBD brick-and-mortar retailer that will offer a host of different products including CBD-rich hemp flower.

Don recently joined our host TG Branfalt to discuss his entrepreneurial journey and the hardships he’s faced both as a minority business owner and working adjacent to the highly stigmatized cannabis industry. In the interview, we learn about Don’s strategy for persevering through prejudice, how he builds friendships with his customer base, and why he works only with local artists and refuses to sell imported glass products.
