The Cannabis Diversity Report with Tahir Johnson Tahir Johnson

Join us in the 67th episode of the Cannabis Diversity Report with Tahir Johnson as we delve into the revolutionizing world of cannabis retail, spearheaded by GreenSTOP Inc., an innovative technology company changing the game of cannabis sales. Our special guests for this episode, Co-CEOs James Edwards and Timothy Island, give us exclusive insights into the workings of their disruptive product - the MISM (Multi-Interface Smart Machine).


The MISM is a breakthrough in the cannabis retail sector, defying the norm with its ability to simultaneously serve four customers on a single kiosk. What makes this even more remarkable is its minimal footprint. Just 31 inches in size, the MISM effectively optimizes your retail space, serving the same function as four traditional vending machines within a much smaller area.


Perhaps what stands out the most about this unique kiosk is its speed. Dubbed as the 'fastest way to purchase cannabis', it has been proven that an informed cannabis shopper can complete a transaction in as little as 30 seconds.


Discover how GreenSTOP Inc. is reshaping the future of cannabis retail and how their solutions are improving customer experiences, all in this exciting episode. For more information about GreenSTOP, check their website at www.greenstop.us.


Tune in, learn, and witness the future of cannabis retail. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
