BigMike on the Cannabis Industry

BigMike Straumietis  is pioneer and founder in the cannabis-growing industry who used his combined experience in business, marketing, horticulture, and engineering.  His company, Advanced Nutrients, revolutionized the industry by offering highly developed fertilizer made specifically for marijuana.  This made Advanced Nutrients one of the most popular nutrient brands in the marketplace.  BigMike became widely known as the source that teaches growers about hydroponic gardening.  He offers an array of successfully marketed growing products, he also teaches growers in gardening techniques.  His leading company, Advanced Nutrients, is premiering a line of products this quarter called, ‘BigMike’s Blend.’ This line includes pre-rolls, concentrates and vape pens, all developed with state of the art technology.  Now we have legalization, decriminalization and the need for relief from COVID sequestering.  BigMike lends his expertise on what he has seen in the industry, where is, and where he sees it going in the next 20 years and beyond.

W420 Radio Correspondent Rich Walcoff in the field Special Report:
National Changes for Cannabis, with Former Mayor Willie Brown

Willie Brown is the former Mayor of San Francisco and one of the leading Democratic figures for more than a generation.  He is also the former president of Harborside, the first and largest marijuana dispensary in California.  Mr. Brown has a deep understanding of California and its business, and he tells us about some of the challenges facing the cannabis industry.  California did legalize medical marijuana, and not long ago, it legalized recreational marijuana.  But California, like many other states, realizes the limitations that come in the absence of federal legalization.  This means no national change in how you manage the resources, the banking, the payment systems and more, when you enter the legal system.  As a result of that, you don’t have the normal kind of acquisition and opportunity with regular, ongoing businesses, like those who sell tobacco products.  This forces an all-cash business in many cases.  Added to this are high taxes and restrictive access to the product which makes it more challenging for the growers and the distributers to do it the right way.  All of this encourages the black market which undermines the state-legitimizes businesses.  That’s because black market entrepreneurs are not subject to the same regulations, costly guidelines and taxation.  But because of the opportunities that abound, many businesses have found profitable avenues for their endeavors as they keep the industry growing.  Hear insights from a man who is closely connected to the ever changing world of cannabis.

Morgan Fox is the Media Relations Director for the National Cannabis Industry Association. Today’s topic is: how minorities may encounter obstacles to entering the cannabis business.   Such a venture requires access to capital, financial networks or generational wealth.   Some states have a limited number of licenses which makes competition fierce.   These barriers make it important to provide proactive assistance to people who represent marginalized communities.
