Welcome to part 2 of our two part series with Gabriel García, CFO of DJR García Law and a dear friend of mine. DJR García is a boutique law firm providing business, regulatory, and strategy advice to health and wellness providers. In this episode, we will discuss a topic that is rarely touched on... Healthcare, Insurance & Cannabis. What pains me about this topic, and I felt Gabe as well was that we can walk into any pharmacy and pick up prescription drugs at a reasonable price (with insurance). So, if marijuana is deemed "essential" and is used for medical purposes, then why isn't the healthcare industry taking that into account? Because, cannabis isn't cheap.. The cost of marijuana buds can vary based on quality and the location of the purchase. Typically, a gram of buds can cost $5-$20; an eighth (3.5 grams) costs $20-$60; and an ounce can cost $200-$400 Concentrates are typically sold in half-gram and gram quantities and generally cost $20-$60 per gram. Expect to pay about $2-$5 per dose for edible medical marijuana items. Tincture bottles sell for $15-$50, depending on strength. About Gabriel: For the last 15 years, Mr. García has been a trusted legal advisor to leading brands in the rapidly growing health and wellness industries. An expert in corporate, regulatory, and tax issues, he also counsels boards of directors, charitable foundations, and nonprofit corporations, including the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce and the United Core Alliance. Prior to launching DJR García, he served as General Counsel for Natura, a vertically-integrated cannabis campus in Sacramento, where he lead efforts to acquire the 21 licenses that comprising Natura's commercial cannabis activities. Mr. García's other experience includes positions as commercial counsel for Abbott Laboratories, legal consultant for the healthcare consulting firm BDC Advisors, and a federal clerkship with the United States Tax Court. His insight on wellness innovation is routinely solicited from the press and national healthcare organizations and has earned him multiple awards from legal publishing houses such as the Theodore Tannenwald Jr. Foundation.

Ever wonder how to get into cannabis without ever touching the plant? In this episode we have a candid discussion with powerhouse female entrepreneurs Scheri Mathaya & Gabriella Valle. They speak on their personal experiences getting into cannabis as well as the journey from start to finish with the PCBIC apparel line that helps bring awareness to minorities in the cannabis industry. PCBIC believes cannabis should be an inclusive space that promotes the success of all people regardless of their background. Scheri Mathaya - Founder & CEO of Put Color Back In Cannabis 23 year old Entrepreneur, Activist, Motivational Speaker, Friend and lover of all things green! Born in the midwest and moved to CA in 2017 with a dream to build a career in the cannabis industry. As the great Cori Bush said - some arent born activists, some are activated - my activation came 2 years into my cannabis career, where my eyes were opened to the work that needs to be done for POC in the industry. And PCBIC is designed to bring awareness to just that! Gabriella Valle - Sales Director for Put Color Back in Cannabis & Account Executive for Fly Beverage 24 y/o, born and raised in Northern California. I left my job as a bartender a few years back to pursue my dream to work in the cannabis industry. I've always been an advocate for destigmatizing and educating others about cannabis. After joining the industry, I realized the serious lack of diversity, and my focus grew into something more than just educating people on the plant.My new dream was to bring awareness to the inequalities that so many minorities face in this industry and to highlight and support minority-owned business in this community.
