Beyond the Plant: How Technology Is Changing Cannabis | Ashley Ciccel

#LetsBeBlunt #MontelWilliams  #Innovation What happens when technology meets cannabis—and innovation moves beyond the plant? On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt with Montel, Montel sits down with Ashley Ciccel, Co-Founder and CEO of Higher Innovation, Inc., to explore the emerging world of smart cannabis consumption and the technology helping reshape the consumer experience. Ashley shares her journey as an entrepreneur, the inspiration behind Higher Innovation, and what it takes to design products for an industry still navigating stigma, regulation, and rapid change. She and Montel discuss making cannabis more approachable for new consumers, the importance of responsible consumption and education, breaking into mainstream retail, and the realities of building and manufacturing innovative consumer products. They also look ahead at what could be next—from smarter and more personalized products to AI, connected technology, and a new generation of consumers who expect cannabis products to be as thoughtfully designed as everything else in their lives. It’s a conversation about cannabis, technology, entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to turn an idea into innovation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
