BudsFeed.com is an online marketplace to discover the latest cannabis products and news. Justin created it to bring brands and consumers together, based on the insight that most social channels discourage the sharing of cannabis-related content. We talked about how he came up with the idea, what people can do on the site, and why BudsFeed should be part of every brand's launch strategy.
