Now that adult-use cannabis is legal in so many states, where can you smoke it publicly and socially? Turns out almost nowhere. But this week’s podcast guest, Cameron Forni, believes that’s about to change—in a big way.  Forni is the CEO of Hypescale Ventures, which invests in new technology and ideas in the cannabis space. He is a true success story in the business. In 2019, Curaleaf bought his company Select for an estimated $948 million, creating the world’s largest legal cannabis company by revenue.  On the Green Entrepreneur Podcast, Forni talks to host Jonathan Small about some of the…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Scientific research continues to reach conclusions that fly in the face of long-believed myths about cannabis use, such as marijuana makes you stupid or never want to exercise. Now, researchers have busted another false belief: Cannabis causes laziness.  Researchers from the University of Memphis studied 47 college students and found cannabis users were more likely than non-users to engage in effort-related decision-making tasks. The study’s findings are consistent with recent studies on weed’s impact on motivation. For example, a 2020 study found that people over 60 who use cannabis felt more motivated to exercise regularly. They also had…
