This week we chat with Lisa Pittman about cannabis & hemp in the south
We discuss developments across the south and how a more conservative approach can sometimes benefit the sector and other times not!
But, remember, the south isn’t one generic location and different states have different approaches depending uopn size, economic factors and yes even religion gets a look in still when it comes to making decisions about cannabis
Will the south wait for Washington DC or forge their own path(s) ?
