This week, Aundre Speciale, owner of Cannabis Buyer's Club Berkley (CBCB), joins the Cannabis Equipment News podcast to discuss her legacy in the industry, which spans some 35 years of advocacy, retail, research and community building.

Speciale was turned on to the cannabis industry by Jack Herer, author of "The Emperor Wears No Clothes." Herer was Speciale's neighbor, and she began her advocacy aboard Herer's H.E.M.P. (Help End Marijuana Prohibition) Bus. She has spent decades in the industry, building community-based dispensaries, working on the Marijuana Policy Project's board of directors, launching businesses with Montel Williams, and finally settling into her role as owner of Cannabis Buyer's Club Berkeley, America's oldest dispensary—which her children now run as Speciale slides into semi-retirement.
