Eight Cannabis Leaders Discuss Emerging Trends in the Industry

I have the great honor of trying out many products and visiting many dispensaries and cultivation sites, and can spot emerging trends, but wanted to see what some of the leaders in the industry are thinking, as well. So, I asked industry consultant Andrew DeAngelo, Peak Extracts’ Katie Stem, WAFBA’s Morris Beegle, Aster Farms’ Sam Ludwig, and Weed+Grub’s Mike Glazer & Mary Jane Gibson, AlpinStash’s Danny Murr-Sloat, and performer Laganja Estranja to share their insights with me.

I see hemp superfoods and supplements that include CBD, CBG, full and broad spectrum extracts will find their way into more and more peoples diets over the coming months and years.
