In this episode of Common SENSimilla we're chatting with Kyle Loucks - Founder & CEO of RollPros - an automation company disrupting the pre-roll vertical. After a career working for companies in bio-med and defense, Kyle took a gig with Meta to work on the Oculus VR headset. After completing his run on that project he set his sights on the cannabis industry.

His company has developed a machine that creates a perfectly rolled joint mimicking more closely the hand rolling process vs the conical pre-rolls currently in the market.
