Someone Brought Him A Duffel Bag Of Cash | Marc Kazinec, Best in Grass (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somebody showed up with a duffel bag full of cash to buy a win in a cannabis competition. Mark Kazinec says it would not have changed his life, but it would have changed his year. He turned it down, and then he had to call people he considered friends to tell them their votes were being deleted for trying to rig the same competition. That is the whole business in one story: an awards program that only exists because people believe the results. Mark is the co-founder and COO of Best in Grass. He
Big Beer Moved Too Early. Boston Beer Waited. | Paul Weaver, Teapot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Years ago, Molson Coors and Anheuser-Busch put millions into cannabis beverages in Canada. They built their own breweries. The market wasn't ready, and the bet didn't return. Boston Beer Company watched all of it happen, then entered the category in 2022 without owning a single facility.

He led the court challenge to keep that question off the November ballot, and his team lost. In this episode he walks Jason through what the challenge argued, why two other ballot questions were struck on the s
Jon Napoli: 30 Years in Cannabis, From Newbury Street to the Repeal Fight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He opened a store selling hemp goods and glass on Newbury Street in the era when saying the word bong could get you thrown out. When the police told him to pull the pipes, he took every one out that night and walked them back in the next morning. Thirty years later, Jon Napoli runs five stores, helped write the 2016 legalization language that won at the ballot with 53 percent, and is now spending his own money to fight the November repeal. Jon is Founder/CEO of Quincy Cannabis Company and the Qu
