Karma Koala Podcast

This  week Heather talks to.

Lezli Engelking founder at FOCUS a company that creates and manages standards for industry and government. She speaks to Heather from Morocco, where she's on business, about standards in the industry, their response to the Schumer bill, banking in the industry, equity in the industry and the importance not only of US standards in the cannabis sector but international standards too as other markets begin slowly to open.

Next Heather speaks David Canady who is the found of a boutique cannabis law firm based in Florida. He talks about the issues in the current Florida state set up, offers thoughts on Federal regulation as well as a general discussion and perspective from a smaller law firm operating in the cannabis sector

Last but not least.  Heather bumped into Fab Freddy 5 and Bernard Noble at a conference over the weekend who've gone into  partnership with Curaleaf.

B NOBLE was founded in partnership with well-known visual artist, filmmaker and hip-hop pioneer Fab 5 Freddy to raise awareness and create funding to defend people from cannabis-related criminalization. The brand is dedicated to telling the story of namesake Bernard Noble, who was arrested in Louisiana and sentenced to 13 years in prison for possessing the equivalent of two joints. In 2017, Bernard's case began to draw attention across the country, and he quickly became a national symbol for the need to reform the country's unjust drug laws, sparking advocacy and a movement to free him. As a result, Bernard was released seven years into his sentence.

Each B Noble Pre-Roll pack contains two One Gram pre-rolls for a total of Two Grams of cannabis. This number was deliberately chosen for the brand's inaugural product as a reminder of the harsh sentence Bernard faced for possessing the equivalent of two joints at the time of his arrest.

"Our partnership with Curaleaf is our deeper dive into dedicated social equity work," said Fab 5 Freddy. "B NOBLE exists to generate support for the defense of people impacted by the War on Drugs."

We apologise for some of the sound quality as Heather was onsite rather than conducting the interview in more studio like conditions. The interview is a little more freestyle than we usually do on Karma Koala... but then again it is Fab Freddy 5 so freestyle, is in the end,  the name of the game.

As always music too.

Thanks for listening

Sean & Heather

Karma Koala Podcast

This  week Heather talks to.

Thibault Serlet of the Adrianople Group about  SEZ's (Special Economic Zones)  & Tourist Zones for the cannabis industry around the world. There are a few locations dotted around the planet where versions of this are already happening. Listen to Thibault to learn where they are and how he believes that having these specified zones will be a big part of the future of cannabis around the world.

Next Heather speaks with Mark Lozzi of Confia a tech company on the banking and especially financing side of the industry. Yet again the cannabis industry through it's non federal status is jump starting ways people think about financing in new sectors.

Finally she speaks with Geoff Selzer & Pam Kerwin of Resonate Brands who are looking to (and already are) precision engineering cannabis to create consumer products that they believe do give consumers a very specific cannabis experience. It is early days but they believe cannabis can challenge not just the alcohol industry but also the soda (soft drinks) sector as well as many other parts of the world of F&B as cannabis gives them the opportunity to tailor a product not just for taste but also experience. Even Huxley only envisaged one type of Soma so it looks like we are being opened up to a wide world of experiences by companies like Resonate as they learn the range of possibilities that the cannabis plant can offer consumers in terms of experience.

As always music too.

This week Heather chats with Bob Hoban of Law Firm Clark Hill about his work in Columbia + a quick round up of his thoughts on what's happening in other jurisdictions in South & Central America.

Then we pop back to the US and a conversation with Dede Perkins about one of our favorite subjects, compliance, and her company's platform that aims to make life easier for companies in the very complicated world of cannabis compliance.

Heather then speaks with Dr Mama Desta Meghoo about the work she is doing in Lesotho and her thoughts on what is happening and should be happening throughout Africa in the industry over the next few years. She's worked with the African Union in Ethiopia, was born in Jamaica, lived in the US, completed her doctorate in Florida and that's only the half of it. If we had more people like Meghoo running the industry we'd be in a much better place. A wonderful and rather life affirming conversation.

As always music too.
