Now, this is a part of the cannabis business that I’m intrigued to know more about…I have a very personal reason why the work of respected counsel Jeffrey Welsh resonates with me. I grew up in an extremely conservative part of New Jersey where time stands still since cannabis prohibition took hold in the 1940s.  There, cannabis is vilified instead of celebrated. Stigmas abound in this divided county— where cannabis arrests are more common than jay-walking tickets. That’s why I wish there were more individuals like Mr. Welsh in the world. The engagement of individuals like him will push the removal of certain stigmas, allowing for greater transparency in cannabis and entertainment. That’s what inspired me to interview him.

Binske Donating Meals To The Feeding America COVID-19 Relief Fund

There are seminal moments when companies have the opportunity to separate themselves from the pack. This occurs when a company takes a bold stand, drawing a line in the sand and making it clear to the rest of the universe that they stand for something, something greater than themselves, something greater than the sum of their parts. Normally those moments are recognized through financial gains or innovative ingenuity, but in this particular case, it is through social responsibility during a global pandemic. That’s why when I heard that the international cannabis brand Binske was donating meals to the Feeding America COVID-19 Relief Fund, I wanted to learn more, so I contacted Alex Pasternack whom I interviewed last year for an article in Forbes. What I have learned is truly impressive. From April-July, the Binske brand is donating 5 meals for every Binske product purchased across the country.

Based in San Jose, CA, Airfield Supply Company — a vertically-integrated cannabis dispensary that champions the notion that “High Is A Place” — recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Ten years is a very long time in legit California cannabis, so this marker piqued my interest. Established to serve the medical market as the South Bay Healing Center in 2010 and rebranded for the recreational market in 2015, Airfield Supply Co. has grown into one of the highest-volume, single-site recreational cannabis dispensaries in the United States, serving more than 1,500 consumers daily — a full 300 of whom each day enter for the first time. I caught up with Airfield Supply Co.’s founder and CEO Marc Matulich to learn what makes Airfield so special.
