Today I’m sitting down with Vince Ning, CEO and Co-Founder of Multi-State Distribution and Wholesale Marketplace Nabis. We’ll discuss how he got into the industry, his recent acquisition of blackbird from the HERBL receivership, and what it takes to make it in today’s market climate.

Larry Scheffler, the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Planet 13, has undoubtedly etched his mark on the global cannabis industry. Planet 13, under his stewardship alongside other Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Robert Groesbeck, is more than just a dispensary; it’s an embodiment of the larger-than-life appeal Las Vegas is renowned for. Strategically located right off-strip in the heart of Clark County, Planet 13 isn’t merely a store — it’s the very definition of an experiential store. Known as the world’s largest cannabis dispensary, it has not only redefined cannabis retailing but also set the bar high for competitors attempting to cultivate what experiential cannabis retail truly means.

We sat down with Larry to talk about the recent soft-opening of Dazed Consumption Lounge, 4-20, and what the future of Planet 13 looks like. All this and more in this week’s episode of Conversations in Cannabis!
