Cannabis activist and independent journalist Grant Smith-Ellis is on the program to discuss some recent revelations that have come to light regarding a powerful brand in the cannabis space- who has previously positioned themselves against homegrow; Curaleaf. Grant expounds on the now multiple investigations that have been launched into this company from multiple states- highlighting alleged employee testimony citing the use of nuclear remediation machines without proper certifcation or proper protective gear, unlicensed testing of new products on employees of Curaleaf, and maybe the biggest rabbit hole of all... The alleged link between the investment capital behind Curaleaf, and the oligarchs of Russia... While it's important to focus on cultivation education and our mission of overgrow, we must also keep an eye on those who have actively stood against home grow rights- and do our best to prevent those efforts!
