Adrian Sedlin: Luxury cannabis gains a foothold in the mainstream market

Episode Summary

Only a few years ago, consumers had to navigate through a litany of foreign strain names and hope for the best experience. These days, consumers can easily find a wide variety of quality cannabis products that cater to their individual lifestyles and interests. Adrian Sedlin, the Founder and CEO of Canndescent, is largely credited with rebranding cannabis as a luxury lifestyle product and taking the guesswork out of the purchasing experience. Adrian discusses how he applied his Harvard Business School background to this emerging industry, why he believed luxury cannabis was an untapped market back in 2015, and how cannabis brands can maintain visibility in an increasingly competitive market.
