How’s it growing folks?! Welcome to the latest episode of Here Weed Go! I’m your host Eddie Celaya, cannabis reporter for the Arizona Daily Star and TucsonMarijuanaGuide.com!

So about a year ago, I was out at Earth’s Healing dispensary here in Tucson looking for some top shelf marijuana flower. I made my purchase, came home to grind the flower up to hit out of my freshly cleaned bong, and when I poured some of the flower out, a small brown baggie about the size of a Splenda package fell out with it.

Perplexed, I looked at the baggie to see what it might be. It wasn’t immediately clear to me, but there was the name of a company on the back of the baggie: Boveda.

According to it’s website, Boveda is the creator of two-way humidity control packs. Essentially, the company creates humidity packs to help keep fresh products that depend on a certain humidity level, like marijuana, hemp, cigars and musical instruments.

To help me learn more about the company, and to help explain some of the science behind Boveda and its humidity packs, I spoke with Shannon Klick, the Vice President of Global Sales for Boveda.

Klick and I chatted about the history of Boveda and how it originally started as a technology to help preserve high-end cigars and tobacco products, how the company got involved with cannabis, and just how exactly Boveda’s proprietary technology works, especially when it comes to keeping your cannabis flower fresh!

How’s it growing folks? Welcome again to Here Weed Go!, the podcast bringing the latest news, info and science surrounding the nations newest cash crop, cannabis, to you!

Today starts a string of podcasts that explore an overlooked but integral part of the cannabis industry: packaging. Gone are the bad-old days of dried-up cannabis passed around in Ziploc baggies or rolled up pieces of tin foil.

Instead, that's all been replaced with some of the freshest flower and products you’ve ever laid eyes on, sealed in glass jars or smell-proof bags, with the latest technology making sure the products stay as potent and moist as the day they were sealed.

If you’re buying legal, adult-use or medical cannabis in the United States, pretty much every product sold out of state-licensed dispensaries, from marijuana flower to edibles, comes packaged.

And chances are, whatever it is you’re buying sports packaging made or developed by DIZPOT, a Phoenix, Arizona based packaging, design and branding company that produced over 80 million pieces of packaging exclusively for the cannabis industry last year.

Here Weed Go! spoke with DIZPOT co-founder and CEO John Hartsell, a one-time political campaign worker and ad agency executive, about DIZPOT and how it keeps up with the differing packaging requirements not only for all of the separate brands the company serves, but all of the different legal cannabis jurisdictions as well.

We also touch on how DIZPOT has been able to become integral in the world of cannabis packaging, in a relatively short period of time.

One note on the conversation: The episode was recorded in mid-March, and throughout the conversation, Hartsell and host Eddie Celaya make quick mention of a piece of state legislation, known as Senate Bill 1271 or SB1271, that dealt with the regulation and packaging of hemp and hemp-derived products here in Arizona, and that Hartsell opposed.

We’ve removed a portion of our conversation that dealt with the bill since it was eventually killed in the Arizona State House of Representatives and was too "inside baseball."

It's Packaging with DIZPOT

How’s it growing folks?! Welcome back to Here Weed Go!

As any of my long-time listeners know, I’m endlessly curious about how cannabis is treated, regulated and used in different jurisdictions and markets. What’s legal, acceptable and cool in one place, might not exactly be in another.

In today’s episode, I’m taking a deep toke on one of the world’s great agricultural producers: Colombia! Once known primarily for its association with cocaine and the illicit drug trade, the country has made a concerted effort since the late 90s to rehabilitate its image for the world.

Now, the country is an agricultural powerhouse, exporting bananas, cut flowers and other commodities to all corners of the globe.

To help me get a better understanding of how cannabis is doing in one of South America’s fastest growing marketplaces, I spoke with Auz Zadoff, the CEO and co-founder of Cannexp Consulting Group.

Zadoff explains how Cannexp has helped non-psychoactive cannabis (or what we in the United States call hemp) producers, farmers and growers get their product in front of international consumers, from Europe, Australia, and as of recently, the US!

Zadoff and I also discuss what makes Colombia such a great place to produce cannabis and why producers within the country have been forced to look elsewhere to make money off the cash crop. We also touch on the politics surrounding psychoactive cannabis, or marijuana as we know it, in Colombia and how this year could be the year it becomes federally legal

Our conversation starts off with Zadoff explaining how he got into cannabis consulting and why he helped found Cannexp.
