The EO said a lot — but most operators aren’t ready for what it actually means.

This week we sit down with Zach Edge and Dr. Matthew Moore to break down:

• What GMP, CFR, and pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing will actually require from operators
• Which parts of the supply chain face the biggest disruption as cannabis moves forward
