If you really want to know about what's going on in the Ontario cannabis world, there's no one better to speak with than Abi Roach. Abi gets you up to speed on what's really going on with government, lotteries & even gives some projections for what to expect in 2020. As always, Abi is articulate & friendly so I personally just enjoyed hearing what she had to say. Boil some coffee, sit back & relax. Abi does not dissapoint! Twitter = @abiroach
Abi Roach, has been in the Cannabis lifestyle & tourism industry for close to 20 years. She has dedicated her life to the freedom of cannabis consumers and the normalization and now legalization of cannabis.
LEGALIZATION II - Abi Roach is fed up — sort of. What's positive about cannabis legalization one year in? That it's legalized, she says. Hooray. What processes need to be held up under the light and seriously scrutinized? That list is long. But she is not without hope — on The Dopist with Nicolle Hodges.Brought to you by WDBXProduced by VoiceMagic
