I work in cannabis. It’s the same as any other category. You have to understand the space. It mirrors food, beverage and wellness - similar in many ways to coffee, wine, beer and supplementation. Medmen is a good place to start connecting in NYC.

Retail, POS, events, social and PR specialists are all in demand.

To really get into it from a marketing/advertising perspective You gotta know someone who is associated with a grower or a direct buyer for a product group. It’s currently the Wild West but having a grow contact is the best because they control the pipeline. I’d reco not to mess dispensaries. Most everyone in the industry knows very little about strategy and marketing/advertising so the opportunity is big. We may be looking for a strategist eventually

Where are you located? I'm in NY and starting to read up on cannabis marketing companies but doesn't seem like any is starting up here until it's fully established and legalized in this market - otherwise it's mostly sales. But there's so many businesses that I see potential to blow up once that happens. There's a lux vape/weed paraphernalia store called Higher Standards in Chelsea market and I love their branding/approach so far.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
