I figured I'd go into a couple of the more interesting locally owned dispensaries in the area! Not only because I've only lived in places without them; I also wanted to do some research on brands in the I502 market here in WA! I highly recommend doing a vacation/camping trip in Olympic National Park if you're into hiking, camping, and mycology! It's harder to find traditional market producers on the olympic peninsula. If you don't have the time / logistics set up, you might find you're spending more time hunting down a jar and less time smoking in nature! So, you might as well know what's good on the METRC side in the area!

Is the "green rush" over? Are NFTs still a thing? Was it wrong of me to put my life savings into AMC stock? Michael Johnson is the CEO of Metrc, a company that makes supply chain software for the cannabis industry. If talking about cannabis bothers you, I suggest you skip this episode… This is one of those businesses that makes sense when you learn about it, but seems so out of left field for an uneducated person such as myself. Today we discuss the cannabis industry boom and maturation of the “green rush” as what was once an emerging field becomes more commonplace. Metrc has over 250,000 users for their “track and trace” software program, and they're trying to bring safety and oversight to the wild west of the cannabis space.  ➡️ https://www.metrc.com/ ➡️ Highlights: https://rosspalmer.com/michael-johnson  ➡️ Follow me on Instagram: @therosspalmer  ➡️ Subscribe on YouTube: @therosspalmer

Johnson's experience managing highly effective teams, integrating business units, and building out enterprise-wide processes has consistently led to the harmonization of customer experience and profitability. During his time as Metrc's president and CFO, he transformed its organizational infrastructure, hired top leadership across all phases, and led year-over-year growth of nearly 50%. Prior to joining Metrc, Johnson spent his career scaling hyper-growth tech businesses, working with investors and overseeing financial operations. Most recently, he served as the CFO of InformedDNA, the largest provider of genetics services, where he led the company to consecutive years of high growth, eventually selling the company to private equity investors.

GUEST: Till Freier, KoronaHOST: Harry Brelsford, The CannaTech Group Compliance is a crucial part of  running a successful  cannabis company. In order to stay within state and county regulations dispensaries must monitor all of the products they sell, and report them to state governments.  Most states use technology to ensure that they know how and where each cannabis related product is cultivated, produced, transported, and sold.  Korona announced that it offers seamless integration with the Metrc's API which is what most state governments use to follow every step of the flow of marijuana products from initial plant maturation to dispensary transaction.

Having touched on compliance here, which is our industry’s mantra, there’s a lot of documentation involved in staying compliant. Everything from the seed to sale reporting like tracking the plants themselves and even the waste material, to financial reporting of sales for METRC, as well as 280E compliance, good grief.

What can we learn from roll-out and regulation in other states that have legalized in the past few years?  Cannabis investment opportunities and obstacles - How can regulation drive opportunities for minority entrepreneurs and eliminate barriers to entry into the cannabis industry?

It’s Croptober, which means from harvesting to punching in numbers to the METRC system, it is a busy season in the cannabis industry. Jobs - whether seasonal, temporary or career oriented are beginning to sprout at record pace. The displacement and or outright complete loss of traditional industry jobs has a lot of people looking toward cannabis as an option for the first time - so competition is becoming fierce.    Jarod Duggins talked to Kara Bradford, co-founder of Viridian Staffing.

Although the political landscape has largely leaned towards more positive sentiment towards cannabis, it is still very expensive and risky to do business in the industry largely because of compliance burdens like tracking the entire operation from seed-to-sale. Cannabis companies often spend 1/3rd of their time on compliance-related issues. There are licenses required to do different parts of the process like growing, manufacturing, selling. What’s worse is, they cannot participate in the financial markets because banks will ultimately get fined for doing business with them. Regulation 280E and Significant Growth ConstraintThe cannabis industry has been set up to fail. Although it’s getting more mainstream, there are still significant choke points that prevent businesses from thriving like Regulation 280E, a piece of legislation that punishes banks for doing business with any company that deals with a schedule I or II drug (Cannabis is still a Schedule I drug federally). Some large cannabis companies receive their transactions in cash only and have a difficult time getting capital to scale businesses. Furthermore, individual states have different regulations and amounts of license, which makes it much more difficult to participate. Capital comes to CannabisAs the industry grows and becomes legal in more states, there is a new interest in investment. In 2018, there was a $13Bn investment into the legal marijuana industry up from $3.4Bn in 2017. When capital starts flowing into the industry, the entrepreneurs start finding ways to solve more problems! We talked to Stacey Hronowski, an entrepreneur that is trying to get rid of the compliance burden by creating an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tool called Canix to handle just that. Since everything from growing the product to selling it needs to be tracked, Canix has found a way to make it easier for businesses to collect their data, use their data, and strive with it. As I was pointing towards the gold mine of data in the podcast, Stacey kept emphasizing the importance of understanding what the customers needs are with the data that they collect.Canix doesn't only become an ERP for compliance purposes but also a place to figure out how to become successful in the industry. The current suite has all sorts of functionality like live inventory tracking, METRC integration (The regulation stuff), Chart of Accounts management (the accounting stuff), RFID harvesting, and clone data. Yeah.. if you aren't very familliar with the industry, Stacey can help explain that to you! Sit back, light it up, and absorb a little more than THC and CBD. Actually, just a lot of THC.

Technology has been a game-changer for all industries, and the marijuana industry is no exception. With many states legalizing it for both recreational and medicinal use, the market has had some major changes and has lead to numerous technological advancements in the growth and production of the products. Today we are going to talk about the different tech advancements in the industry ranging from personalized cannabis products based on your DNA profile to how law enforcement will be breathalyzing for THC.Special Guest: Lewis Koski, Chief Operating Officer of Metrc which is an elaborate tracking system that serves to monitor cannabis production from day one until its sale. METRC ensures compliance in the cannabis industry by identifying and tagging plants, cannabis, and cannabis products; it also serves as a unique point of sale (POS) platform that further serves to monitor the growth of marijuana, its transportation, and the sale of cannabis.

This episode, I get to speak with Joseph Sulistyo the CEO and Jake Tital, Co-Founder/Head of Business Development for Sproutways. We discuss the value of landrace, heirloom and hybrid genetics from well respected and top level breeders Bodhi of Bodhi Seeds, Snowhigh of Legendary Genetix and Kagyu of Coastal Seed Co. Fresh off the press release with Waverider Nursery and Santa Cruz Naturals, Sproutways is looking to create a seed to sale transaction providing the best cannabis available to the consumer but more over a METRC tracked process allowing full transparency for all involved. Most cannabis customers probably do not realize how many brands are white labeling the same weed but rebranding it with a new name or experience (check those COA's people!!). Covid-19 and the impact to the business is much like it is hitting everyone else, more virtual activity and digital story telling which is something Sproutways was already tackling. When you visit the website a person can meet the breeders, see the strains offered complete with drill down information about THC%, how to grow and more. The company does not stop their with their education efforts as they provide growing tips and videos about the breeders involved with the platform. People, cannabis is always evolving and Sproutways is ahead of the curve bringing the customer ISO standards and transparency that is so desperately needed in cannabis as we see it today. Make sure to follow Sproutways on Instagram @sproutways and Twitter @sproutways and send them a DM to find out more.

Kyle Sherman is the Founder and CEO of Flowhub and serves on the board of directors as Chairman. A legalization advocate and entrepreneur, Kyle is finding ways to use technology to help drive cannabis legalization forward responsibly in the United States. In 2014, Kyle began lobbying the Colorado Department of Revenue to build an API to Metrc, the State's cannabis tracking system, so that third parties like Flowhub could send data directly to the database instead of manual entry. This Metrc API is now the standard in more than 7 states. Kyle continually defines Flowhub's vision, strategy, and growth as Flowhub innovates the way cannabis businesses manage complex compliance mandates, supply chain data, sales transactions, and reporting. His goal is to simplify business operations, keep companies and government transparent, keep cannabis products off of the black market, and build a robust scalable industry that is approachable for all adults and medical patients. This inherent motivation keeps Kyle and the Flowhub team passionate about providing fanatical customer service, and building delightful products and user experiences.

This week’s regulatory compliance updates are from April 1 to April 8 and contain information for California, Colorado, Michigan, and Washington dispensaries, as well as federal and international news. California is being sued by 24 cities over a rule that allows marijuana deliveries in places that have banned cannabis retail stores. A Los Angeles Times article noted “Those that stand to benefit from the state rules allowing home deliveries include 311 state-licensed delivery firms.” The Colorado Sunset Bill “Proposes Changes for Pot Industry Rules and Regulations”, including (but not limited to) selling hemp and CBD in recreational dispensaries with testing, medical marijuana equivalency limits for patients, and merging medical and retail marijuana codes. In Michigan, Metrc released information within a recent bulletin on a new software update that will allow Provisioning Centers the ability to record sales deliveries to a qualifying patient. As of April 5, 2019, the Metrc Admin for each Provisioning Center will see a new selectable “Deliveries” option beneath the “Sales” tab. Michigan regulators also released an updated “Home Deliveries Procedures Checklist” for medical cannabis deliveries. This extensive 3-page checklist will help ensure all home deliveries are compliant with the regulations. In Washington state, the WSLCB shared that they will soon seek input from cannabis testing labs, as well as retailers, on upcoming Quality Assurance Testing and Product Requirements. Also, Leaf Data Systems’ newest version will include numeric standardization that will standardize decimal values pertaining to weights and the replacement of drop-down menus with “type-ahead” search fields for batches, inventories and inventory types. Soon after, Qlik reports are scheduled to be available. In federal and international news... On April 2nd, the FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb issued a press release on hemp and hemp-derived cannabidiol (also referred to as “Hemp CBD”). The FDA is creating a “working group” to “explore potential pathways for dietary supplements and/or conventional foods containing CBD to be lawfully marketed.” Guam became the first U.S. jurisdiction to legalize marijuana in 2019 with the signature of Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero (D) on April 4th. When it goes into effect, the U.S. territory’s new law will permit adults 21 and older to possess and grow cannabis, and it will create a system of licensed and regulated businesses to produce and sell marijuana. That concludes this week’s regulatory compliance updates. For more information, please visit greenbits.com/blog.

Scott Denholm spent the first part of his life on the west coast, then he moved east, and now he resides down south in Tennessee. This variety of experience has helped him develop an acute talent for understanding different people, which helps him greatly with his line of work developing track and trace programs for cannabis cultivators. He says it’s all about listening to what someone wants, to be able to figure out what they really need. After a stint in the Navy and time at ADT Security, Scott wouldn’t have ever imagined he would have found his way to the cannabis industry, but a consultant gig with the Marijuana Enforcement Division in Colorado set him on such a path, and now he’s implementing Franwell’s Metrc program in states all over the country to ensure their cannabis programs are efficiently and effectively regulated. Enjoy!
