➡️ Why veterans are an asset to both cannabis companies and the mission of the industry Last year, Mike Siebold was joined by a panel of veterans from HeroGrown Foundation: Nick Martin, Jason Arcand, Brett Puffenbarger, and Jon Bond. HeroGrown Foundation is the cannabis and hemp industry’s first and only 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing direct assistance to American Heroes. Each year they give away $2,000,000 worth of life-saving products to veterans, first responders, and frontline medical workers.   The panel discusses topics ranging from how veterans can find their niche in the cannabis industry (HINT: This advice can work for anyone!), to why veterans are loyal to the company first and how to incentivize them.

Stories like this inspire us to keep pushing for access and awareness so that everyone can get the care they deserve. 💚 Access to medical cannabis is about more than just policy—it’s about education and advocacy. Behind every patient story is a community that needs to be informed and empowered. Sharing these experiences helps to break down stigma and spread awareness about the real, life-changing potential of cannabis. #ThatsMyWhy #FreeThePlant #CannabisForCare

Cannabis legalization measures fell short in Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota, but Nebraska offered a notable win for medicinal cannabis. Nebraskans voted decisively to approve medical cannabis measures, signaling strong support for patient access. However, the future remains uncertain as the measures face ongoing legal challenges in court over the validity of petition signatures. Until these legal disputes are resolved, implementation is on hold. Read the full article from Nebraska Examiner here ----> https://lnkd.in/dgMrdwSj #cannabislegalization #nebraskacannabis

The question "So, tell me about yourself?" is one of the most common yet daunting parts of any interview. This is your chance to tell your story and connect your experiences to the role you’re pursuing in the cannabis industry. 🌿✨ Patrick Hartman tells us how to make your answer stand out: ⏱ Use the Present ➡️ Past ➡️ Future format: Start by describing your current role and what you do. Then highlight key experiences that have shaped your career, focusing on those relevant to the cannabis industry. Wrap up by discussing your future goals and why this opportunity excites you. 💚 Show your passion for the cannabis industry: Share how your journey brought you here—whether it’s through education, personal experiences, or a genuine interest in cannabis. This connection helps interviewers see you as more than just a resume. ⏳ Stick to the highlights: Keep it concise—aim for 2-3 minutes. Focus on impactful moments that demonstrate your value and align with the job description. For example, rather than listing every past role, focus on 2-3 that showcase the most relevant skills. ✂️ Tailor your answer to your audience: Think about who’s interviewing you. A recruiter might focus on your cultural fit, while a hiring manager may be more interested in technical skills. Adjust your focus accordingly. BONUS TIP: Practice, but stay natural: Rehearse your response to build confidence but avoid memorization. Aim for a conversational tone to engage your interviewer. Example Format for Your Answer: "Currently, I’m a [Your Current Role] at [Company Name], where I [Brief Description of Responsibilities]. Before this, I worked at [Previous Company] as a [Role], where I [Key Achievement or Experience Relevant to the New Role]. What excites me about this opportunity at [New Company] is [Reason for Excitement, Relating to Future Goals].” Ready to impress?

We’re all drawn to the cannabis industry for different reasons. But it’s our ‘why’ that keeps us persevering. For Alice Moore, a Director of Human Resources from Missouri, its about the opportunity of the industry and believing in the power of the plant. WHAT’S YOUR PERSONAL “WHY” (YOUR PASSION) FOR WORKING IN CANNABIS? I’m driven by the opportunity to be a part of something transformative. Cannabis has the power to change lives, not just as a product but as a movement toward openness, healing, and empowerment. I’m here to help the naysayers better understand that this plant and the individuals who work with the plant—from harvest to retail and everything in between—are much more than meets the eye—and to rewrite the story of what it means to be "working in cannabis." WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST SURPRISE(S) ABOUT WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY?  I thought I’d be navigating just plants, people, and policies, but it turns out I’m also navigating passion and purpose. The biggest surprise has been the sheer intensity of dedication and ingenuity within this industry—people aren’t just in it for the business; they’re in it to build a better future. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN CANNABIS? Stay curious and adaptable—this isn’t your typical 9-to-5. The landscape is constantly shifting, and those who thrive are the ones who can pivot, innovate, and remain passionate in the face of uncertainty. And don’t forget to bring your authenticity—there’s no need for a “business as usual” mask here. WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY, WHAT PERKS AND/OR RISKS DO YOU SEE? Perks: You’re at the frontier of a cultural revolution, and every day is a chance to challenge the status quo. Plus, the networking events are definitely more interesting! Risks: The regulatory rollercoaster can be dizzying, and there’s still stigma to navigate. But the biggest risk is missing out on being part of something groundbreaking by not taking the leap. HOW DO YOU SEE CANNABIS IMPACTING YOUR COMMUNITY? Cannabis is weaving itself into the fabric of the community, not just as an economic booster but as a cultural catalyst. It's opening up dialogues about wellness, justice, and sustainability and giving people new ways to connect and contribute. #thatsmywhy #cannabiscareers #cannabishr

If ballot measures in Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota pass this November, over half of the U.S. will have access to legal cannabis. According to NORML Political Director Morgan Fox, many of these initiatives are looking promising, with recent polls indicating strong support. Additionally, states like Nebraska, Arkansas, and Oregon are looking to expand medical marijuana access, which could greatly improve healthcare options for patients in need.
