Tim and Montel also discuss key industry challenges, the importance of terpene profiles in cannabis evaluation, and the future of cannabis policy and culture. Whether you’re a connoisseur, advocate, or just curious about the cannabis world, you won’t want to miss this in-depth conversation with one of the industry’s most influential figures.
