#020 - Live from Las Vegas! ft. Michael Cooper (MadisonJay Solutions) and Chris Lindsey (ATACH)

We're live in Las Vegas for MJBizCon 2023 and giving you the realtime update with some surprise guests. Join Ben and AnnaRae as they welcome Michael Cooper from MadisonJay Solutions and Chris Lindsey from ATACH. We discuss the main takeaways from the week and the general sentiment felt in and out of the conference and the numerous events surrounding the show.Navigating the labyrinth of rules in the cannabis business is a sport in itself. But, much like sports, it’s all about strategy and adapting to ever-changing rules of the game. That’s why we'll take you inside the MJ Biz conference to learn from industry pros about the latest developments and strategies. And let’s not forget about the world of hemp. We discuss the extension of the farm bill and what it means for hemp legislation, while exploring the exciting burgeoning market for cannabis beverages. We share insights on everything from the need for a federal framework to the dangers of unregulated products. We also chat about the lessons learned in forming effective trade associations and the importance of representing diverse interests. We wrap things up with a call to unify our vision to end the war on drugs, and discuss the pressing need for a clear strategy in the cannabis industry. We did it! 8:30 AM on Thursday of MJBiz.
