In this episode, Maggie Shea sits down with Steve McMorrow, Founder of the Buffalo Cannabis Network (BCN) and longtime advocate for cannabis normalization and education.
Steve shares his cross-country journey from LA film schoolto launching a cleaning company for grow facilities in Colorado, to ultimately returning to Buffalo to build an inclusive and informed cannabis ecosystem. Together, Maggie and Steve dive into the real Pain Points of trying to grow something meaningful in a space that’s still misunderstood:
- How outdated stigma and public confusion keep people from engaging
- The hidden hurdles of shadow banning and restricted cannabis marketing
- Why so many businesses don’t realize they can - and should - serve this industry
- The challenge of building trust and consistency throughevents
- How to connect the dots between policy, access, andopportunity
- Turning small meetups into a real movement of support and visibility
- Why Buffalo’s cannabis scene needs community more than ever
Steve also shares real feedback from growers andentrepreneurs whose pain points were solved by just showing up - and why that’s the whole point.
