In this episode of The Exchange Series, we’re taking you straight to the source—live from The Exchange in Eugene, Oregon.

Hosted by Ashleen and Rileigh (The Chronic Gals), this special episode features rapid-fire interviews with 30+ cannabis professionals we met during the event. We asked each guest what their brand is all about, how The Exchange is moving the industry forward, and what they wish every budtender knew.
