What if you could gain exclusive insights into the cannabis industry from a former police officer and industry expert? Join us as we sit down with Kyle Kazan to discuss his unique perspective on the war on drugs and his journey into the world of cannabis. Kyle shares how his experience with private equity and real estate led him to Glasshouse Group, a company that recently achieved free cash flow positive one quarter ahead of schedule.

We delve into the history of cannabis in California, exploring the effects of Proposition 215 and Prop 64 on the industry. Learn about the challenges faced by businesses operating off the grid and the implications of federal prohibition, including limited access to banking and capital. Kyle also shares how the book, Americana: 400 Years of American Capitalism, has served as a guide for those navigating the cannabis space.

Our conversation doesn't shy away from the importance of safe banking for the cannabis industry and the dangers that businesses face without it. Discover how the lack of safe banking contributes to a shadow banking system and the potential benefits of bringing millions of dollars into the legitimate banking system. We also discuss the impact of crime rates and loss of life due to armed robberies in cash-heavy businesses. Don't miss this fascinating and informative episode with Kyle Kazan.
