Pass It Forward<\/em>–a philanthropic program that provides financial support in the form of micro grants for cannabis equity eligible applicants and their families throughout California. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWith the good, comes that which can be improved. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nHall of Flower\u2019s new structure should encourage vendors to be extra<\/strong> on-point; given that reps are dealing more directly with the people who want to know the micro-level details about the brands in order to make the best product recommendations and purchases. However, what you soon come to find out is that as an industry, CEO to Consumer, we still have work to do. One simple question we should all consider asking more: \u201cIs your packaging recyclable.\u201d<\/em> Many reps simply have no idea. A majority of vape cartridges aren\u2019t, so the company doesn\u2019t talk about it. One person said, \u201cWow, I actually don\u2019t know. No one has ever asked me that before.\u201d Some tried to dance around the question, when this is actually the most critical time to get to the point. Which further reads as, it doesn\u2019t matter that our products will likely end up in a landfill, as long as you\u2019re able to get a great high, right?! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nWrong. That is completely counterproductive to the whole industry. Packaging companies need to step their game up, product companies should feel encouraged to take the initiative to invest in long term impact, and consumers should press their favorite brands about sustainability. Although some dispensaries are participating in recycling programs, patients and consumers should at least<\/em> be able to dispose of empty product containers in their own homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAll in all, the organizers of Hall of Flowers have created a first of its kind experience to help take the industry to a new level, and they do a damn good job. Each Season of Hall of Flowers serves as a bench mark of the progress we are making as an industry. Looking forward to Season 4!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
