We speak with Lisa Pitmann about her new ADR service….
We discuss why ADR is now needed nationwide in cannabis and how one uses dispute resolution to avoid the stress and costs of the courts
We also round up with Lisa what is and what is not happening in cannabis & psychedelics from a political and regulatory viewpoint in the state
I should note we held this conversation earlier in the week; 24 hours before this happened, so a number of Lisa’s insights and thoughts were quite prescient.
