In October, the cannabis industry reconvened in Las Vegas for the annual tradeshow – MJ Biz Con – put on by Marijuana Business Daily. As part of that event, Business of Cannabis sat down with industry leaders at the show to discuss their business, the current state of the cannabis industry and what they were seeing on the road ahead. This conversation is part of that series.

This podcast features a conversation with Doug Hellyar, President and Chief Operating Officer at Lume Cannabis Co. – a single-state operator in Michigan. We wanted to connect with Hellyar to talk about Lume’s growing Michigan footprint, their vertically integrated model and how Michigan stacks up against other premier cannabis markets in the country.

This podcast was recorded at MJ Biz Con in Las Vegas in October 2021.
