Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Rhaukeem Connor, owner of Diamond Tree Dispensary in New York, for a wide-ranging conversation about cannabis, business, politics, and the journey that led him to where he is today. Rhaukeem shares his personal history with cannabis, including his early experiences, previous run-ins with the law, and how those experiences shaped his views on prohibition and legalisation. We also dive into what it's really like to own and operate a licensed dispensary in New York, discussing the regulations, challenges, and opportunities that come with running a cannabis business in one of the world's most talked-about legal markets. As the conversation unfolds, we venture into UK cannabis laws, politics, crime, the future of legalisation, and plenty of other interesting tangents that make for a relaxed and thought-provoking discussion. If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a legal dispensary, or you simply enjoy honest conversations about cannabis and the world around it, this is an interview you won't want to miss. 🌐 Website: https://highonhomegrown.com💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/sqYGkF4xyQ📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/highonhomegrown
