An insider’s look into the legal cannabis industry | Steve DeAngelo

This episode is with Steve DeAngelo - cannabis entrepreneur, activist, author, and on-screen personality. He's the co-founder of Harborside, one of the first six dispensaries licensed in the US and now listed on the Canadian stock exchange; Steep Hill Laboratory, the first dedicated cannabis lab; the Arc View Group, the first cannabis investment firm; and the National Cannabis Industry Association, the industry’s first trade association. And in 2015 he was dubbed "the father of the legal cannabis industry". In this episode we talk about the legal cannabis industry - how it started, the challenges of growing a business in this industry, and where it's going next.
