In this episode of Psychedelic Source, host Dr. Sandra Dreisbach sits down with Cannabis industry veteran Dr. Marianne Bays to learn about her fascinating path from business consultant to cannabis manufacturing pioneer.
As a third-generation Jersey girl and child of the 60s, Dr. Bays brings a unique perspective on how business expertise can create more equity in the cannabis industry. She openly discusses the challenges of state regulations, licensing battles, and why manufacturing holds the key to better product access.
Dr. Dreisbach guides the conversation through Dr. Bays' personal evolution - from seeing cannabis as purely recreational to recognizing its vital medical benefits through friends battling MS and other conditions. Their discussion reveals how Dr. Bays' business background helped her spot critical gaps in the industry.
The episode highlights Dr. Bays' innovative solution: creating a contract manufacturing facility that helps smaller brands enter the legal market without massive startup costs. She explains how this model, common in consumer products, could transform cannabis access.
Listeners will gain practical insights into:
- How to enter the cannabis industry
