In this episode of the Free Spirits podcast, we sit down with Jake Bullock, co-founder of Cann - the leading microdose cannabis beverage brand revolutionizing social drinking.
Jake shares how his personal journey with alcohol led him to create Cann, offering a 2mg THC alternative that provides a gentle, controlled experience similar to having a beer or glass of wine. From securing their first dispensary orders to expanding into mainstream retail through hemp-derived products, Jake reveals the strategic decisions that helped Cann become a category leader.
