This week, we look at the backsliding already unfolding in Montana and South Dakota, less than a week after those states overwhelmingly passed their cannabis legalization ballot initiatives.  Then we turn our attention to the corruption in California’s cannabis industry as the FBI raids the homes and businesses of several lawmakers, but doesn’t make any arrests...yet.  And finally, we look at an unusual acquisition in the cannabis industry, as Canadian conglomerate Aphria, makes a big splash into the U.S. market, with their purchase of Atlanta, Georgia based craft brewery, Sweetwater. Will we see more deals like this in the  domestic cannabis industry’s future?    


We’ll be discussing all this and more on the best marijuana podcast in the business.


As we like to say around here, “Everyone knows what happened in marijuana today, but you need to know what’s happening in Marijuana Tomorrow!”
