The State Gave Us $500K for Cannabis, But We Can't Sell It

The government just handed Devin Alexander a $500,000 Social Equity Grant for his cannabis delivery startup, but a broken state portal means he can't actually use his license to sell. In this episode of High Functioning, Jason Reposa sits down with the CEO and Co-Founder of Rolling Releaf to expose the reality of running a delivery fleet in Massachusetts. Devon breaks down exactly how he bypassed a $13,000 mandated security buildout using Home Depot toolboxes, what Trump's Schedule 3 executive order actually means for operators, and how to survive the brutal unit economics of the industry. If you are trying to scale a business in a highly regulated market, this is the playbook. 🕒 Chapters: 0:00 - The State Portal Glitch Costing Startups Everything 0:24 - Introduction 0:50 - Devon Alexander & Rolling Relief 02:11 - Winning a $500,000 Social Equity Grant 05:06 - The “License Not Valid” Repackaging Nightmare 08:55 - Changes to the One-Driver Rule 13:40 - How Grant Money is Actually Spent 14:21 - The $13k Delivery Fleet Hack (Home Depot Boxes) 18:08 - Route Optimization & $60 Minimums 24:34 - The Fight Over the Cannabis Ballot 31:36 - Trump's Executive Order & Schedule 3 Reality Check 38:18 - MJBizCon & Networking in 2026 43:47 - The Daily Routine of a Cannabis CEO 53:50 - Closing Thoughts ABOUT THE SHOW High Functioning isn't your average cannabis podcast.
