Market Analysis
John Kagia joins us from New Frontier Data, a leading research organization, as we continue our Discovery, Engage & Compete series into the world of cannabis. What can intelligence and analysis do in the cannabis market. Mr. Kagia tells us how product development is changing in the cannabis market. Reasearch shows that consumers are not just interested in raw materials, such as cannabis flour, for making marijuana-based baking and such.Now, more buyers are interested in finished, premade goods, so they don’t have to do the work. Dispensaries are changing the product placement in their show rooms to put raw materials and the back, and new finish goods out in front. This demand is expanding the product base lines and marketing approaches. So, it seems, it is time to expand thinking in the marketplace.

A product of Berkeley High, (he has lived in SF, Oakland, and all over the Bay Area), IGOR holds the record for staging and hosting the longest running showcase in California over 500 consecutive Tuesdays, and he once put 34 artists on stage in one night. Most rappers in the Bay Area have at some point been in studio or on stage with DJ Igor Beatz. Igor remains very relevant by working with rappers like Mr. Fab, Philthy Rich, and many rising Bay Area rappers and musicians as he strives to spotlight great upcoming talent (mostly from the Bay Area and SoCal) while paying homage to music pioneers like Snoop Dogg. With over 4,000 Instagram followers, Igor has recently begun work on a documentary film on the Oaktown Sound (about “beat mixers, rappers, chickenhawks, gatekeepers, young bucks, and old schoolers” – street cred lingo), and he discusses different strains of weed, Oakland and The East Bay, his new product, Uncle Igor’s Mud Water (made in Oakland, hand-brewed, Cannabis-flavored Tea), Tiny Stage Concerts, Baylife Entertainment, and the overall 420 Lifestyle of WEED on the daily, the medicine it provides, and the creative process where cannabis helps in collaboration.

Pandemic Patterns
Charles Butler is a talk show host, based in Chicago, in the third largest market in America. His podcast program, ‘The Reality Check with Charles Butler’, addresses cultural issues and current topics of interest. Now that the pandemic has spread around the world, we are seeing patterns in how is spread across the nation. Consequently, cultural differences have apparently played a role in the susceptibility to this contagion. African American communities tend to have a more social closeness in communal gatherings which are often more intimate than many European American activities. Unfortunately, closeness in family gatherings and social affairs hastens the spread of the disease. Statistics show that Africans Americans have be hard hit by the pandemic because of this and other reasons. We focus on these issues as all Americans must continue to modify habits and not get over confident.

The Problems of Legalization
Andrew Kline is the Director of Public Policy for the National Cannabis Industry Association. Burgeoning freedom for cannabis created confusion in legal states over regulating, who is going to regulate and how to handle licensing. At the same time, other new problems developed as the illegal marketing of cannabis continued even after legal sales were open. Those who market illegally do not have to comply with to the same production standards and rules as the legal producers. Neither do they have to pay for the licensing and the taxes imposed on the legal trade. These issues and more are examined in this conversation now that the industry is forced address in them in afterthought because they were not considered before they arose. While the cannabis market can follow some traditional business models, it has challenges that are found in no other industry.
