Can CBN Replace Melatonin? Results from a Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study ft. Alleh Lindquist

info@8threv.com (Bryan Fields, Kellan Finney) — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 04:00:00 +0000

While many have found cannabis to be helpful for sleep, is it anecdotal, or is there science to back up these feelings?

In the US, 50 to 70 million adults have chronic sleep problems or sleep disorders, according to SleepHealth.org.

FloraWorks set out to validate these claims through double-blind placebo trials, employing the rigorous standards used in pharmaceutical research. These trials aim to provide scientific evidence to support the efficacy of cannabis-derived compounds, such as CBN, in improving sleep.

This week, we sit down with Alleh Lindquist to discuss the following:

The Therapeutic Potential of CBN
Sleep Study Design
What Cannabinoid is Next for Clinical Trials?
And So Much More

Krista Raymer: Pricing, Promotion & Strategy Tips for Profitable Cannabis Retail

info@8threv.com (Bryan Fields, Krista Raymer, Kellan Finney) — Thu, 30 May 2024 04:00:00 +0000

Pricing and promotion in the retail business may seem closely linked but are fundamentally different. Understanding the intention behind a promotion across the organization is a critical yet often overlooked element in the cannabis industry. Using pricing as a tool to drive sales can have unintended consequences.

For example, if a customer typically purchases one product every 30 days but buys two products when offered at a lower price, they might not return for 60 days.

Did leveraging the price as a tool for additional sales work as intended?

This week, we dive into the intricacies of cannabis retail, exploring all components of the system to understand what is needed to achieve profitability.

Join us as Krista Raymer discusses how to put the pieces of the puzzle together for a successful retail strategy, covering topics such as:

The difference between pricing and promotion
Internal alignment on promotional strategies
The potential pitfalls of using price to drive sales
Strategy for long-term profitability in cannabis retail

How Minor Cannabinoids are Made: Synthetic vs Biosynthetic ft. Shane Johnson

info@8threv.com (Kellan Finney, Shane Johnson, Bryan Fields) — Tue, 28 May 2024 04:00:00 +0000

Synthesis, a process that may sound complex, is actually quite common in our daily lives. From the production of everyday items like Advil, organic milk, citric acid, to the creation of vitamins A and D, and multivitamins, synthesis is a key player.

Why does this realization often provoke a negative reaction?

Perhaps it's because there's a desire for clean, safe, and consistent natural products, especially when they originate from plants.

Surprisingly, synthesis enhances our ability to deliver such products.

This week, we're joined by Shane Johnson to delve into the following topics:

How minors are manufactured, synthetic vs. biosynthetic
Upcoming Minors to keep an eye on
Novel APIs & Analogs

info@8threv.com (Bryan Fields, Kellan FInney, Aaron Nosbich) — Wed, 15 May 2024 04:00:00 +0000

BRĒZ immediate success is a testament to the power of a skilled team, a great product, and incredible marketing. A little over a year since its inception, BRĒZ hockey stick trajectory is undeniable and worthy of emulation.

When executed perfectly, marketing becomes more than just a line item on a P&L; it becomes a tool with unlimited potential. BRĒZ ability to connect with consumers on a personal level and address all hidden potential questions and concerns reflects textbook marketing prowess that would earn the approval of industry legends like Gary Albert or David Ogilvy.

The storytelling marketing strategy isn't an Ad but a friendly, informative guide. Educating consumers about an alternative to alcohol minimizes the intimidation factor and highlights the product's benefits, such as its quick onset and ability to eliminate brain fog.

The true beauty of Bez's marketing lies in its authentic storytelling, a quality that is easy to identify yet extremely difficult to replicate.

This week, we sit down with founder Aaron Nosbisch to uncover the following:

Marketing Principles used
Hitting Milestone of a Million a Month

The cannabis industry, with its unique challenges, demands tailor-made software solutions.

Software that guides critical decisions forms the company's foundational backbone.

An unwavering dedication to profoundly understanding customer challenges and the agility to create nimble, value-focused software solutions is indispensable and poised to disrupt any incumbent.

This week, we sit down with Rick Bashkoff to discuss:

Lit Alerts, CannaVersions & the Origin from Pain to Solution

The Critical Role of Accurate Data for Success

Lit Alerts:Founded in 2021 by a dispensary owner and an online marketing executive, we are a lean team built especially for cannabis retailers, agencies and consultants. Our superpower is our ability to remain lean and focused on our customer without the distractions most software companies incur. We're buiulding a software company in a new age of automation, In our observation, many cannabis operators are not (yet) self service software candidates. They need tools that are plug and play and require very little setup and maintenance (if any).

Hemp Derived Beverages.

People relate to people, and if your brand feels like people, they’ll relate to you, too." -Laura Busche

Brands ignite ethos. But how? Why do we gravitate towards certain names, bypassing others? It's that gut tug.

• Lady Gaga, Harry Styles, and how he attracted them.

• Cannabis Block parties, i.e., Buds on Rose.

• Product Portfolio and staying true to his customer.

• And so much more.

Realigning AYR Strategy: Building Brand Equity with a Luxury Retail Mindset ft. David Goubert

info@8threv.com (Bryan Fields, Kellan Finney, David Goubert) — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) is a commonly used term in the cannabis industry, encompassing brands and dispensaries. When it comes to luxury purchases, the entire experience and the emotions it evokes play a crucial role in evaluating customer satisfaction. Luxury brands can command premium prices due to their positioning and the inherent value associated with their products. While the cannabis industry is gradually moving towards establishing such premium price points, it requires a deep understanding of exceeding expectations at every customer touch point.

Implementing and refining these strategic principles is a valuable endeavor. However, it presents significant challenges, including current marketing restrictions, limited capital resources, and the complex nature of establishing a consistent national brand identity in a market that operates on a localized basis.

Applying and developing these strategic principles is a valuable undertaking but comes as a steep uphill challenge.

This week we sit down with David Goubert, CEO of Ayr Wellness, to discuss the following:

How AYR is applying luxury retail principles
Implementing realignment strategy and why certain assets didn’t fit
Key touchpoints in the customer journey
Where Opportunities are in cannabis via marketing

The Strategic Mindset of AVD's IP Triumph Battle & How an Innovative Manufacturing Powerhouse stays 3 Steps Ahead ft Alex Kwon

info@8threv.com (Kellan Finney, Bryan Fields, Alex Kwon) — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 04:00:00 +0000

An enormous victory for the US Cannabis Vaping sector happened, and most completely missed it.

The recent “definitive victory” by AVD was a critical win for the cannabis industry.

A monopoly would have jeopardized the entire category and potentially put a stranglehold on crucial hardware. This ruling ensures that competition continues and allows brands and consumers to not suffer at what could have been.

The bigger question remains, is this IP battle the first of many?

We sat down with Alex Kwon, Founder and CEO of AVD, to discuss the following:

USITC cannabis vaping dispute
Wartime CEO strategies
Building a Diversified supply chain
Forward-thinking disruption tactics

About AVD:

In our former lives, we were extractors and processors. And, probably like you, we were looking for vape hardware equal to our oils. Except we couldn’t find consistently reliable cartridges. That were correctly designed. Didn’t burn our oil. And were priced for the market.So we said to ourselves,

“We know exactly how the perfect cartridge should perform. After all, we’ve been in the industry for 20-plus years. From cultivation to managing licensed extraction labs to processing and formulation. We’re perfectly positioned to engineer and manufacture our own hardware.”

One of the Nation's First Licensed Medical Operators to Kingpin Statue for a Nonviolent Offense: Luke Scarmazzo's Shocking Story vs. the Federal Government

info@8threv.com (Bryan Fields, Kellan Finney, Luke Scarmazzo) — Fri, 2 Jun 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Imagine this. You operate a state-licensed business. You pay your taxes and follow ALL the rules and regulations as defined.

You hear a knock at your home door on your daughter's birthday day. U.S. federal Agents are there to charge you with the Kingpin Statue or the same law designed to target El Chapo and other cartel leaders.

Not only have you never been convicted of a crime, but you have also followed all the rules California enacted when they passed the Compassionate Use Act in 1996

Certainly, a jury of your peers who voted for this law almost a decade earlier would be an arbitrator of truth and fair would recognize you’re not a drug kingpin, let alone a criminal. This is the United States of America.

This week we sit down with Luke Scarmazzo, One of the first licensed medical dispensaries in the United States, who shares his compelling story.

We discuss:

2004 California Cannabis Industry
Scarmazzo vs. United States of America
Emotional rollercoaster
His mission now and how others can help
And so much more

About Luke Scarmazzo

In 2006, Luke Scarmazzo was running a state-legal medical cannabis dispensary in Modesto, California, when he was arrested by U.S. federal agents following a DEA raid of the business. Scarmazzo was prosecuted in federal court and received a 22-year jail sentence. He and his family have turned to The Weldon Project for support.

Though Scarmazzo’s dispensary was legal through California’s Proposition 215 – which legalized medical cultivation, sales, and consumption in the state – he and his business partner were charged under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute. The CCE Statute, also known as the Kingpin Statute, is a federal law designed to target large-scale drug traffickers and cartels who are responsible for long-term and elaborate drug conspiracies. It carries a mandatory minimum jail sentence of 20 years.

In 2017, after serving nearly a decade in jail, Scarmazzo petitioned the Obama administration for commutation. His business partner, Ricardo Montes, received clemency, but Luke’s request was denied. In 2020, advocates with the nonprofit The Weldon Project included Luke's name on a list of 25 marijuana offenders sent to the Trump White House as part of a clemency campaign supported by Republicans, Democrats, law enforcement and various celebrities. Although President Trump granted nine of the requested pardons, Luke’s request was not granted.
