The answer to such an especially broad question would absolutely depend on your location and your end user's expecations and preferences. Indoor cultivation can be cost-prohibitive for smaller operations yet necessary because of your climate, but will give you the most consistent product and annual biomass yield. Depending on your goals with the end product converning extraction, all methods have their pros and cons with solventless options having the lowest barrier to entry.

What carriers write commercial insurance for cannabis industry in Oklahoma? I'm an agent in Texas that is interested in becoming a resource for the industry.
Hi Dennis: My specialty is life, disabilty insurance and financial planning which require a different license than commercial insurance. You would need to reach out to a P and C agent or business insurance agent to help with that type. Sorry I can't assist.

What kind of cannabis start-ups will be hot in 2019?
The biggest trend we're seeing is the rise of hemp and CBD products.

The biggest trend we're seeing is the rise of hemp and CBD products. The recently passed Farm Bill legalizes hemp as a national crop which is a great step forward for hemp and CBD products, though the regulation of these products for consumption and use is still up in the air as each state will have to decide (eg. some states will ban CBD for use in food). (Listen to this podcast episode about this: https://bit.ly/2SFvTOp)
Next, we're seeing exciting movement in the ancillary space. Due to the banking and tax issues related to federal prohibiton and falling wholesale prices, plant-touching businesses like retail, cultivation and manufacture are becoming less profitable. and less attractive. Instead, tech solutions in the space are taking off. Some of the trends we're seeing there are around vaporizer technologies (making it easier for users to measure their doses for consistent experiences) and data applications (providing clarity into the industry's performance).
Finally, there are issues related to prohibiton that offer opportunities for start-ups and we're seeing those turn into businesses. For example, the limitations around advertising create opportunities for startups that are providing creative advertising opportunities for brands to communicate their value to the consumer.

Hello Paul,
I'm sure there are a host of options locally and online. I would recommend contacting my colleague, Maureen McNamara, at Cannabis Trainers for advice on your specific goals. Good luck in your new career path!

Do you think the IRS and DOJ will continue to defend their ability to share audit information now that Sessions is gone?
Thank you for your question. Yes, I think they will continue with business as normal regardless of Mr. Sessions departure. In my opinion, it doesn't matter who the AG was or will be, the DEA, DOJ, IRS, and FDA all continue to work together towards keeping cannabis out of small business... more

The best place to start is the California Buraeu of Cannabis Control. I think the specific resources that you are looking for are at https://bcc.ca.gov/licensees/distributors.html . This is where you will find the criteria and the applications.

For a company that is accepted into the Canopy accelerator program, how much time do they actually get with mentors?
The short answer is that it depends. However, our program is mentorship-based; that means that mentors are heavily involved in what we do and are committed to spending time with teams. We start the program with "speed-dating" to help teams find the right mentors for their business. Then ... more
The short answer is that it depends. However, our program is mentorship-based; that means that mentors are heavily involved in what we do and are committed to spending time with teams. We start the program with "speed-dating" to help teams find the right mentors for their business. Then teams and mentors agree on how much time they will spend together and this relationship is managed independently of CanopyBoulder.

As well, we have over 50 mentor presentations per cohort and, often, mentors hold office hours for the teams to meet with them. During these times, teams can talk and work directly with mentors.0 -
