In this episode of the award-winning MITA "Unshackled" podcast, hosts celebrate their recognition as the best podcast in the industry at MJ BizCon 2023. The conversation takes a serious turn as they discuss the unexpected support from indigenous tribes for the cannabis industry, particularly in states like Wisconsin, where the need for medicinal cannabis is urgent due to the opioid crisis disproportionately affecting indigenous communities. Two guests, Jeff Lito and Rob Perro, share their experiences in the cannabis landscape in Wisconsin. Jeff, an owner of a flexible packaging facility near Milwaukee, sheds light on the challenges of recycling cannabis packaging. Despite the availability of recyclable and compostable options, legal restrictions on transporting cannabis across state lines hinder the recycling process. The hosts and guests explore the complexities of this issue and its impact on sustainability efforts. Rob, a hemp producer and founder of a non-profit organization, provides insights into the current state of the legal cannabis market in Wisconsin. With a pro-cannabis governor and anti-cannabis legislature, the cannabis industry in the state faces significant challenges, reminiscent of a "grinding gears" scenario. The hosts and guests discuss the nuances of hemp-derived cannabinoids' legality and the obstacles in establishing a regulated market. The conversation delves into the slow progression toward medical cannabis legalization in Wisconsin, with predictions ranging from five to seven years. The guests express concerns about the lack of compliance and public safety in the current hemp-derived cannabinoids market, highlighting the need for transparency and proper regulations. The episode concludes with a shift in focus to Jeff's expertise in recycling packaging and its potential impact on the cannabis industry. The hosts explore the challenges faced by recycling facilities due to legal restrictions and discuss potential solutions, emphasizing the importance of federal legalization to address these issues. As the podcast provides a platform for industry professionals to share their expertise and insights, it remains committed to educating listeners about the evolving cannabis landscape and its impact on various sectors, from indigenous communities to sustainability efforts.
