Welcome to a very special episode of Let’s Talk Hemp where we take a good hard look back at all the crazy wonderful things we were a part of in 2019.
Last year was super busy for us. With all the hemp events we spoke at and participated in worldwide, we were able to visit six continents and meet so many fantastic people. From the Asian Hemp Summit in Kathmandu to Hemp on the Slope in Colorado, we had an absolute blast hanging out with like-minded folks from every corner of the globe.
Listen in to today’s episode, and hear about what was accomplished this year in the cannabis space, the many things Morris did for a month in China, Ralph and Dan’s best prank of 2019, plus much more!
“We need to start talking more about fiber and grain because cannabinoids are great but we need to start diversifying the way people are growing this plant.” – Morris Beegle
