How’s it growing folks?! Welcome again to Here Weed Go!, the podcast focused on covering the latest news, cutting edge science and breaking business deals in the world of cannabis, the nations fastest growing cash crop.

For this week’s podcast, we’re sparking up the joint on the new dispensary chain in town, Story Cannabis.

Although the brand itself was originally born in Maryland, since May when it entered the Arizona market, it’s gone from 3 to 11 retail dispensary locations in the state, with one being the sole shop in Bisbee, one of the great Bohemian small towns in America.

And from all indications, Story is not done growing in Arizona.

To learn more about the new kid in town, I spoke with Story CEO Jason Vedadi. Vedadi has deep ties to both Arizona and the national cannabis industry.

He’s been in the industry in some capacity since 2008 and is a true industry veteran. He spent a number of years as an executive at Harvest and is the creator of the cannabis-flower brand Modern Flower, which is now owned by Trulieve after it bought Harvest nearly two years ago.

In our interview, Vedadi talks about his time establishing himself within the industry, how Story Cannabis came to Arizona, and what it’s plans are for its 11 shops in Arizona and its plans in other, developing state-markets like Maryland, Ohio and soon, New Jersey.
