Welcome to another episode of WeedBudz Radio!  I am your host, Ry Russell and I invite you to join this compelling discussion of the economics of owning a business in the cannabis industry.  There are many factors that can hinder growth and success in this competitive market so we ask the question - can legal weed win?  

To answer that very question, we have the authors of the book "Can Legal Weed Win?  The Blunt Reality of Cannabis Economics", Robin Goldstein and Daniel Sumner.

He is Director of the Cannabis Economics Group in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Davis. He has an AB from Harvard University, a JD from Yale Law School, and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Bordeaux.
