In Your Opinion What’s the Most Pressing Issue in Your State or Region’s Cannabis Market
Halle Pennington, Products Executive, Humboldt Seed Company (California)
The barriers that exist between the producers and the consumers are a huge issue in California.
Excessive regulation and high taxes have increased the price for the end consumer to the point where those that cannot afford to buy from reputable dispensaries are going to the corner store and purchasing products from the unregulated market. These products have not been tested and may or may not be what they say they are.
It would be great to see a farmer’s market or CSA model widely adopted for cannabis so that customers can get to know their producers and buy high-quality cannabis directly from farmers.
