Manage episode 384221269 series 3509840
Meet Erin Gore, the powerhouse behind Garden Society, a California-based brand and manufacturer that's making waves in the cannabis industry, and now expanding into Ohio and New Jersey. With an impressive background in chemical and biological engineering, and a track record of topping the charts of women in cannabis, Erin brings a wealth of knowledge to our conversation. We tackle the recent legalization in Ohio and Erin's journey of building Garden Society from scratch to working with some of the biggest brands in the space.
As we pull back the curtain on Ohio's recent cannabis legalization, we dissect its adult use and medical programs, drawing comparisons with the markets in California and New Jersey. Diving into the intricacies of policy, population, and regulation, we try to make sense of the effects on both local and national cannabis businesses. Also, we delve into the unique challenges and opportunities in Ohio's cannabis market as a result of its adult use legislation. From the lack of a B2B marketplace to the regulations for sourcing ingredients, Erin helps us navigate the seas of uncertainty, always hinting at a brighter future.
Finally, we shift our focus to the wider picture, discussing the importance of educating policy makers about the cannabis industry and the potential influence of the Farm Bill and D9 market on its future. Erin shares intriguing insights into the budding opportunities in less mature markets like Missouri and how strategic decisions can lead to success. As we wrap up, we reflect on the essentials of advocacy for good policy and how our collective efforts can shape a promising future for the legal cannabis industry. So, whether you're an industry insider or just interested in the buzz, this conversation with Erin Gore is sure to pique your curiosity.
