In this episode Herb describes his concerns with the turmoil at the NYS Office of Cannabis Management and how that might impact the momentum in the state’s evolving cannabis industry.
In the first segment, Herb speaks with Jennifer Cabrera, Esq., a partner at Vicente, LLP, a law firm focused on cannabis law and policy. Jennifer’s work with cannabis license applicants in NY and NJ provides us with the episode’s possible subtitle - “Jennifer’s Guide to Opening a Dispensary”. This is a must-listen for anyone considering opening a cannabis dispensary.
In our Licensee Highlight segment, we speak to the remarkable Leeann Mata, owner of the Brooklyn dispensary, Matawana. Leeann describes how her brother’s arrest for a low-level marijuana offense changed his life, and almost left her family homeless. Today, Leeann, a single mother of three, has earned two degrees and is the first black woman to open a licensed cannabis dispensary in Brooklyn, NY.
