HIGHLY LEGAL gets it right!

This podcast covered it all. Excellent content! Entertaining AND informative.
Bottom line:
I can't wait for the Craft Cannabis shops to start popping up!
Closer to how it worked before 'they' mucked it up.
Toking since 1959.
As an example of ineptitude: In order to purchase a small bud I can only receive it packaged IN a wrapper, IN a box, IN a double walled PLASTIC jar(at least 50 times larger capacity than is needed), without even being able to see it, smell it, or see the condition it is in UNTIL I open all that packaging. Makes no sense and makes the regulations look stupid.

So good!

As someone who consults for, is heavily invested in, and earns income from the Canadian cannabis industry I really enjoyed this series. I think some topics and concepts are a little bit oversimplified for the sake of the audience, but generally speaking, it's really well produced, informative, and accurate and even for those like me who have lived in this space there are some new insights and information to be learned. I've only listened to five episodes, so I may come back and revisit this review, but I'm loving it so far.

That was a really good listen.

Jay with that modest Canadian charisma kills this documentary with his team. It gives insight to the two sides on the history and present Canadian legalization issues of cannabis that I had no idea I was missing.

Very Canadian

I really liked it! Lost of information that I didn't know and I finished with a better understanding of legalization than when I started. Plus it was so wonderfully Canadian.

Missing a part of the story!

Great podcast! I'm a fellow cultivator with Anchor Cannabis and listening to this gave me extreme anxiety as I relived the trauma of legalization... Unfortunately the section on corporate sabotage against small business was missed-although it may need it's own podcast! The only thing applying got us was a government record on the grounds of whether it was known or not, we were terrorists. After year's in the legal system it would have been far easier to not follow the rules.
