2016: Nobacco Hemp Smoke

In 2016 I spoke at the NoCo Hemp Expo along with friends Rob Clarke, Chris Boucher, and Adam Dunn on The Future of Hemp.

I presented for the first time in public my idea of “Nobacco,” artisanal Type 3 CBD hemp buds.

High in CBD and low in THC, since it replaces tobacco the TAM is larger than the stoner market.

Despite also starting hemp’s first billion-dollar segment, shelled hempseed as food, at the time many thought I was crazy(er).

Yet, floral hemp went on to be most of the hemp grown in the U.S., and there were thousands of such stores in Europe and the U.S. It kept hemp alive the last several years.

Segment is 1:24.
