The Hoban Minute, a leading cannabis business, law and culture podcast with more than 150 episodes aired on Season 1, has returned for Season 2, presented by Benzinga Cannabis and hosted on PodConX.
Episode 158
Bob and Xavier sit down with New York’s own Vladmir Bautista.
Tune in to understand the state of New York’s emerging adult-use cannabis industry, and the important grassroots work Vlad and his colleagues have taken on over the last two decades to bring us to this point.
The hosts and Vlad discuss the “suits vs legacy” discourse, explore what brought them all to the cannabis industry, and get into the details of why New York will be different than any other cannabis market in the world.
