What It Really Takes to Run a Legal Cannabis Dispensary

Описание: What does it really take to run a legal cannabis dispensary in New Jersey?

In this episode of So You Want To Be A Geek, I sit down with a former student of mine to talk about their family-owned cannabis business, Bud City in Newton, NJ. We dive deep into the cannabis industry—covering laws, regulations, challenges, misconceptions, and what it’s actually like running a dispensary in one of the most highly regulated markets in the country.
This episode isn’t just about cannabis—it’s about entrepreneurship, family business dynamics, navigating new industries, and building something meaningful from the ground up.

Along the way, I also document my drive from Long Island to Newton, NJ, using b-roll footage to reflect on podcasting, content creation, and what it means to reconnect with former students as professionals.
