We're More Than Marijuana

Robby Kerr is the Co-Founder of Hemp Picks along with Morgan Leach. Robby has a very personal story about the importance of the cannabis industry. Robby blew my mind when he told me he was only 22 years old. I believe the future is very bright for Robby, Hemp Picks, and the industry as a whole with young entrepreneurs making things happen rather than waiting for them to.

In this episode we talk to Morgan Leach about issues surrounding the hemp industry and how the WV Farmers Co-Op was formed to help people of all skill levels learn to make money in the hemp and niche farming industry.

Plenty of great information, I'd take notes!

We had audio issues that caused a significant delay in the podcast release, unfortunately the first few minutes were lost as a result. The much longer than usual intro was an attempt to remedy this.

For Episode 7, Senator Richard Ojeda and Rusty Williams join us to discuss SB 386 and why it mattered so much to both of them.  We discuss the story behind the bill and the stages it went through, and how it became Senator Ojeda's mission for the 2017 session and beyond.  We also discuss the many other issues prohibition has created in West Virginia as well as the rest of the country including racial discrimination, over incarceration, it's impact on the illicit drug world, and how cannabis stands to be a powerful weapon in the war against opioid abuse and addiction.

Sam and I sat down to discuss the legislative and regulatory issues surrounding the vape industry. We discuss how he got involved in the industry and the challenges small business like his face in the next 12-18 months if current legislation stands. We also discuss hemp and CBD at length and draw comparisons between the vape industry and the coming Hemp, CBD, and Medical Cannabis industries.

Chris Yeager is a Marine Veteran, father of 5, business owner, and long time cannabis advocate.  Chris moved to Colorado a few years ago to learn the ropes of the cannabis industry with the hope of someday bringing his products and knowledge back to the Mountain State.  That is now a reality with Appalachian Cannabis Company and their Pure CBD products.  In this podcast we talk about why Chris is so passionate about this fight, his experience within this fight, and the "why" behind the creation of his company and products.
