This week on the Carolina Cannabis News podcast our guest is Armany Richardson-Peterson, co-owner of The Hemp Source. We talk about the eight stores that are now part of the company's franchise, including one that opened this in weekend in Greensboro, N.C. We also discuss what it means for a hemp company to be vertically integrated and what it's like to work in such a fast-paced industry while raising a young family.

Important note: We discuss edible, CBD-infused foods during this podcast, and even talk about such products being available at Mitty's CBD Cafe, our podcast sponsor's store. Because state regulators are sending letters next week instructing processors to avoid CBD-infused food, drink and even dog food (due to FDA approval of a CBD isolate-based drug, not because there's all of a sudden something wrong with CBD) we will no longer advertise for edible products on the podcast or our website until there is some regulatory clarity.

And new news: While the podcast will still be uploaded on Sunday nights, look for the show notes on CarolinaCannabisNews.com on Monday mornings.
