How did you end up in the cannabis industry? “I got a master’s degree in human rights and looked for a job in nonprofits and wasn’t having much luck. … I worked here for a few weeks and said, ‘I’m never going back to the nonprofit field.’ All I wanted to do was help people. I just found a better way to do it.”
What lessons have you learned on the job? “You can’t put people in a line and pick out the ones that medicate. Everyone does it.”
