Taking your cannabis dreams from idea to reality takes many more steps than entrepreneurs realize, starting with an often complicated licensing process. In this highly regulated industry, the guidance of a cannabis-focused lawyer can make all the difference. In this episode, Dina Rollman, SVP of Government and Regulatory Affairs at Green Thumb Industries, discusses the critical role she played in building up cannabis in the Midwest through litigation and fostering diversity in the space. She explains that rising operators need to apply for licensing with their vision and story in mind, and that barriers like money and access often hinder the success of social equity applicants. Dina also emphasizes the importance of lifting up others through programs like Illinois Women in Cannabis and LEAP at GTI, which work with aspiring cannabis professionals to help them break into the industry in a variety of ways.

Dina Rollman: Using cannabis licensing litigation to uplift aspiring operators

Dina Rollman takes us through the current the medical program in Illinois.  We discuss the sunset provision, patient counts, the relationship between the legislature and the governor, how the governor sees the program, the list of qualifying conditions, the controversial thumb printing rule, and everything in between.  Last week Illinois lawmakers passed SB 10 which adds PTSD to the list of qualifying conditions and extends the program through July 2020. This interview was recorded prior to SB 10 passing. Special thanks to Mark Passerini for putting us in touch with Dina.  Enjoy the conversation.  Feel free to send an email to engage@canneconomy.com.
