For the first time in decades the Kentucky Medical Cannabis Laws changes when its state legislature voted 65-30 to legalize medical cannabis for the people of Kentucky.

How can minorities get into cannabis business ownership? We ask Seun Adedeji, the founder and CEO of Elev8 Cannabis. He is an immigrant from the South Side of Chicago. Who first started Elev8 cannabis without much money, and he found that all you really need to succeed is love, creativity, and a lot of hustle.
With three stores in Massachusetts, one in Oregon and hopefully coming soon to Illinois, Elev8 cannabis is focused on its 8 core values

We aim to get 1% more elevated each day. We seek growth, and we challenge ourselves constantly, because iron sharpens iron.

When we see a need, we step up to the plate. We do what’s best for the business, because we are all accountable for the team’s success. Nothing is ever “not my job.”
Hustle
When they call us underdogs, we take pride in it. It makes us that much more motivated to succeed. When faced with a challenge, we don’t call it quits. We get creative, we hustle, and we triumph.

Tom sits down for a fireside chat about Article 2 of the constitution and explains Executive Orders - where they came from - what their limits are. what is an executive order from the president
It turns out that Bernie Sanders - or Donald Trump - could probably make an executive order to at least not enforce the nations cannabis laws because they are unconstitutional - but actually amending the Controlled Substances Act to exclude marijuana may be too far - but he could still do it - just may get sued by Iowa, or another group. bernie sanders marijuana legalization may have explained his wonderful showing in the terrible Iowa Caucus.
Where will Bernie come down on the next debate regarding his plans to Legalize Marijuana by Executive Order on Day One? Stay tuned to the next democratic debate in election 2020.
