We like to talk to people in the industry a lot, but this week I decided to bring in a good friend of mine and long time cannabis consumer J, to get the perspective of a person who has lived through prohibition, semi-legalization and, just maybe, federal legalization.

The cannabis industry is challenging for everyone. Being a woman in cannabis has you doing everything backwards and in heels while dabbing. My friend Halley Cohen has managed to perform this trick for over a decade.

Industry veteran Devin Liles takes us through his evolution from the underground of Mendocino to his work in the nation's first regulated cannabis market in Colorado. Straight talk from an OG (he would never call himself that BTW) who has seen and experienced just about all there is too in the cannabis world.

Commercial cannabis cultivation is a difficult task. This week Liam Spenser, a master grower, shares his experiences on how he came to cannabis, the current state of the industry and where he thinks this may all be headed.
