“This is a social movement that is moving forward faster than any other social movement in the world and probably in history.“

— Javier Hasse

History is being made, day by day, as we move closer to the post-prohibition era for cannabis.

Most of us are on the sidelines, reading the headlines and trying to figure out what's happening in cannabis businesses, in our legal and law-making systems, in science and in the culture as a whole.

Our guest for this episode is writing those headlines: Javier Hasse runs the cannabis department at online publisher Benzinga, and is a contributing writer for many other publications, including Forbes, Entrepreneur, High Times and many more news organizations.
