In this episode, I speak with Eapen Thampy, a longtime cannabis lobbyist in Missouri, about the restrictive licensing models that limit access and fuel corruption within the cannabis industry. Eapen shares his insights on the rise of hemp-derived THC products, which he sees as an accessible alternative that bypasses the dispensary model, offering consumers greater choice.
