MIP, WA: Ep. 80 Brandon Hamilton, Wam Oil

http://cecono.me twitter.com/canneconomy facebook.com/canneconomy In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Hamilton, CEO of Wam Oil. Wam Oil is known across the nation for setting a high standard for all other vape pen companies, and Hamilton gives us an inside view of the how they found themselves at the top. After ACL injuries dashed his hopes of playing professional soccer, and the economy did a number on his career as an architect, Hamilton decided to jump into the cannabis movement. As a long time recreational user himself, and as someone who watched the positive effects the plant had on his cancer-patient girlfriend, he was well aware of the power the plant had and the great potential it held as an industry. He tells us about the legislative battles he fought with his fellow Washingtonians to get regulations passed, and updates us on what to expect in the market in 2016. As Hamilton puts it, it's a big investment to take the high road in this industry, but we're glad he is taking the lead in doing so. Enjoy! "I think one of the things people don't realize is, even they use...cannabis recreationally, on some level, there is a medical benefit there, without you really realizing it." "It's still to this day a little frustrating, and it's expensive to take the high road, and to keep the industry on the high road... as it transitions from the black, to the gray, to the white [market], the same values, those same business standards and everything come from that black market as well. I'm sure there's a lot of great people in the black market, but there's also a lot of bad people in the black market." On legislative battles in cannabis: "We're getting traction, we can have a voice. No, we're not going to win every one, but we're going to win some of them, and we just need to keep at it." "Medical marijuana in WA state, the way it was, is effectively gone. And after next July 2016, medical marijuana in WA state, the way it existed before, will be completely gone. It'll be highly regulated, everyone will be paying taxes." "This industry turns Republicans into Democrats, and Democrats into Republicans. Because now I give money to Democrats...because Democrats are friendly to this policy, and then you talk to Democrats [who say] 'oh my gosh all these regulations and taxes, this is insane!'"
