Memorable Quotes
"We will pivot, we will survive, we've been hunted down, we had to hide, we had to do all of our own work and we're still here."
"You have two ways to build value right now in the cannabis industry. You either build an asset, a really good facility that you can prove with data that it can reproducibly hit quality and quantity every run, or you build the brand and that's the value."
"Cannabis is not just a plant, it's a culture. It's a movement. It's about wellness, creativity, and freedom. And as an industry, we have to honor that in everything we do."
