The State of Craft - Episode 40 - Puff, Pass, Poutine: All About the Québécois Cannabis Scene

CertiCraft recently had the opportunity to travel to Quebec to attend a handful of cannabis events in September, and we're not exaggerating when we say each one of us fell in love with Montreal. Connecting with Québécois industry members was truly special, and we were fascinated to hear about the unique differences and challenges they face. We knew these conversations were worthy of The State of Craft, so we're thrilled to welcome Pierre Leclerc to the show. Pierre is the CEO of AQIC: Association Québécoise de l'Industrie du Cannabis [The Quebec Cannabis Industry Association]. We're hear about what's different in Quebec compared to the rest of the country, what AQIC focuses on, and what they think needs to change for Québécois licensed producers.
