Kicking off 2021 the right way, The Green Rush is pleased to provide our listeners with our very first hostful episode of the New Year! Featuring Anne, Nick and Phil Carlson, Managing Director of Investor Relations at KCSA, our hosts offer a retrospective to the biggest news in cannabis in 2020 and what we’re looking forward to in 2021.
Following an exciting election season that saw a clean sweep for cannabis legislation and the wins by Democrats Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, 2021 is shaping up to be a monumental year for cannabis. Our hosts chat about what surprised them the most about 2020, what’s got them excited for 2021, what trends they expect to see or are following closely over the next couple of months and whether a fully Democrat led government will finally push the football over the finish line for cannabis. We also touch on the development of new state adult-use programs moving forward in New Jersey and Arizona and how we’ve all been trying to stay sane over the last 10 months.
So don’t sit back, lean forward and enjoy!
