The cannabis industry started with a strong focus on craft, while the hemp industry launched with a strong commodity focus. Low quality (commodity) tomatoes are grown to process and use for ketchup. The next phase of growth in the hemp consumables industry will likely require growers and product makers to focus more on craft, and less on growing hemp to make ketchup.

Our guest is Justin Chaddick, CEO & Co-Founder of Treepost, an online marketplace that curates craft hemp products. We discuss what’s working (and not working) in the current hemp CBD market.

There’s a huge gap in the cannabis market that is unlike any other industry, plant or drug. There are tens of thousands of cannabis/ hemp products on the shelf, while only a handful are available through the pharmaceutical industry. Yet it is only the few pharmaceutical cannabis products being studied through clinical trials. Dr. Jeff Chen, CEO & Co-Founder of Radicle Science, is on a mission to change that.
