How's it growing folks?! Welcome again to Here Weed Go!, the national podcast that looks at the business, science, politics and culture surrounding cannabis, America's favorite pastime. Today's episode is a special Black History Month episode that outs the focus on cannabis company owners and brand creators that are pursuing success through authenticity in a way that is unique to their stories and their struggles. According to a report by cannabis industry publication Marijuana Business Daily, only about 4% of cannabis business owners and founders are black. When it comes to black women owners, that number is about 1%. Take into account a study from the American Civil Liberties Union that found that, on average, a Black person is 3.64 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white person, even though Black and white people use marijuana at similar rates. In 10 states, Black people were more than five times more likely to be arrested. With all that in mind, there are amazing stories of success, like the stories my two guests sport in their backgrounds. Marlo Richardson is a former police lieutenant and serial entruprenur who is now the owner, president and CEO of Greenwood and Co., a vertically integrated cannabis company based out of Los Angeles. Watts Homie Quan is a comedian, social media influencer and cannabis afficianado who is promoting his new cannabis brand, Growin' Up LA, with the help of Richardson's delivery service and a unique marketing strategy that utilizes QR codes, social media skits and a love for quality weed. I spoke with both Richardson and Quan last month about how each got into the cannabis industry, how their partnership came about, what sets their brands apart in the uber-competitive and saturated LA market, and what challenges they've faced as black founders and owners in an industry that touts itself as diverse, but still has plenty of work to do.

A lot of the companies were very locally based” —Chris Walsh [9:57]“That variety of mechanisms to grow and create a national footprint completely depends on ways to deal with the various state regulations” —Syd Finkelstein [12:22]“The U.S market is still growing and is growing rapidly. It actually hit records during COVID” —Chris Walsh [15:12]“This industry has professionalized because it's regulated. It's still very controversial the types of regulation, but it's professionalized now, and the latest wave is mainstream professionals coming into the industry” —Chris Walsh [20:49]“As an industry gets bigger, and certainly as it becomes more national and there are more choices for consumers, it's hard to figure out what the right one is. If a doctor is prescribing it, it's one thing, but if it is recreational, it's a whole another story” —Syd Finkelstein [25:38]“There is plenty of research that shows that in states that have legalized cannabis, opioid abuse has gone down” —Chris Walsh [38:18]“It has created hundreds of thousands of jobs. It creates business opportunities, it creates tax money, that if used effectively, can go to schools and roads, and we've seen that in many states, and can revive communities” —Chris Walsh [54:09]Stay connected:Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastChris Walsh LinkedIn: Chris Walsh MJ Biz Twitter: MJBiz (@MJBizDaily) Subscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.
