Sean Knutsen is President and CEO of Boveda Inc., the leading producer of 2-way humidity control solutions for a variety of moisture-sensitive products.
I met Sean in Denver on my trip to discover people, places and things that had to do with the legal cannabis industry. What I found along the way was an intricate view into multiple levels of the plant. And even deeper than the plant herself, were the personalities who raise the bar with intriguing products that are needed, not just desired. Sean brings to market a practical solution to moisture problems in cannabis.
Warren Bobrow=WB: Tell me about yourself? Why cannabis? When did you decide to leave traditional business for a much different path in legal cannabis?
Warren Bobrow=WB: Where are you from?
Alicia Rose=AR: I grew up on a farm on the east coast. We raised foundation Morgan horses, and I three-day evented competitively until college.

I first became acquainted with Old Pal at the Hall of Flowers, the bi-yearly event known as the Hall of Flowers. Old Pal owns a very special vehicle, a 1940’s era school bus with a raised roof and part of a floor. It is better known as the Cosmic Collider. All that it needed was the Ken Kesey at the wheel of this Merry Prankster style vehicle screaming at the top of his lungs as his vehicle careened down mountains without brakes, “Further! Further!”

SERENE CBD – 5 Questions with Forbes Warren Bobrow
Warren Bobrow=WB: Where are you from? Why cannabis? Why CBD, over THC?
Erica Valker=EV: Where: I grew up in southern Wisconsin, my hubby and business partner Paul is from the Chicago area. We now live in Highland Park, IL a cool little arts community on Chicago’s “north shore.” I grew up water skiing on our lake and eventually went pro, skiing all over the world, including China and Australia. But we used to live in So-Cal and miss it terribly, these Chicago winters are for the birds!

Warren Bobrow=WB: Where are you from? Why get into the legal aspects of cannabis? Did you go to business school or just law school? Who is your mentor?
Neil Wiesner=NW: Im from New York City and, when I was in college, it was only the rare weirdo who wasn’t smoking marijuana. At that time, pot was the least favorite of my recreational drug choices. That was nearly forty years ago, and I hear what’s out there now bears little resemblance to what I was familiar with back then. I think drug laws in general are horrible. There are certainly safety and health issues related to drugs, but I do not believe the correct response is their criminal prohibition. When I was in prison, I was in rooms daily with men who, collectively, lost thousands of years of life to confinement as a result of drug criminalization.
From the very first glance, be it on an angle, or straight into your hand, lighting your tiny, but mighty joint and inhaling deeply brings solace. Through inhaling the healing vapors you can feel into your very soul that Sundae School mini-joints are something extremely special. If you think that you’ve tried excellent cannabis in the past I implore you to seek out Sundae School’s offerings in the cannabis vein. The tiny tin boxes come emblazoned with the messages of the moment. Eureka. Uplift. Brain, Cardio, Boost. They are known professionally as Bullets. I’ve always thought of this size of joint as a dog-walk joint, just enough to walk your dog and make a new friend at the same time.
Sundae School is the smokable incarnation of much dreaming.
