![]() While Canada has not yet decided how to manage cannabis distribution, Cullen will discuss what’s working in Colorado so that Canadian entrepreneurs can know what is needed to operate a profitable, vertically integrated cannabis business. “We’re here to tell our stories and share our experience so that cannabis enthusiasts in Canada can benefit from legal cannabis.”Ĭullen’s boot camp, “Envisioning a Sustainable Cannabis Retail Operation” is slated 3:30 to 3:50 pm, Friday, April 21, 2017. “Tim and I believe research & development, advocacy, business acumen and thoughtful regulation are key drivers of a thriving cannabis industry,” Morgan said. ![]() Morgan leads this international enterprise with licensed manufacturing plants in nine states and Jamaica, a science team that includes 15 PhDs and a distribution network through 1,200 US dispensaries and ancillary products in seven countries. Five partners came together in 2012 to form O.penVAPE, the world’s leading vaporizer brand, a subsidiary of Organa Brands. “Very soon, especially with states legalizing cannabis for recreational use, we had to divide, diversify and conquer to manage rapid growth and meet unprecedented consumer demand.”Ĭullen manages the local Colorado Harvest Company team comprising 80 employees who work within a sophisticated cultivation operation and three retail cannabis centers that completed 151,054 unique cash sales in 2016. “We knew early on that we could work together and that we’d be more successful if we did,” Cullen said. Together, they own Colorado Harvest Company, a mid-sized vertically integrated cultivation and retail operation growing their own cannabis and selling it to adult consumers for recreational and medical use. Today, they are partners in Organa Brands, the industry’s largest consumer cannabis company and the umbrella corporation for five brands: O.penVAPE, Bakked, District Edibles, Magic Buzz, and Organa Labs, the oil that is infused into the entire product line. Morgan opened an apothecary-styled retail center and then founded Organa Labs in 2010, which is the oldest and longest running supercritical CO2 cannabis oil extraction lab in the world. Cullen focused on cultivation and retail operations, relying on his formal education and 10 years of experience teaching high school biology. Sharing the same ideals and beliefs that good cannabis is good medicine, their partnership began in 2009, although they started their medical cannabis businesses independently. In two separate opening boot camps, which O’ Cannabiz promoters describe as “a high-intensity big-picture introduction to the entire event,” Cullen and Morgan will present ideas, business strategies, core values and lessons learned from leading their growing, profitable and diverse US-based enterprises. ![]() ![]() O’Cannabiz, an inaugural event, is convening to explore aspects of cannabis legalization in Canada.
