Sami Majadla, CEO of CertiCraft, facilitates discussions with leaders in the legal craft cannabis industry to explore what is going well and what is going not-so-well.

Williams Lake First Nation follows government guidelines instead of doing things their way like other First Nations. When approved, Sugar Cane Cannabis will be BC's first Farm Gate cannabis retail facility.

Why are they doing this? What obstacles have they faced?

Williams Lake First Nation Chief Willie Sellars, Founder and Director of GanjaPapa Brendan Roberts, and Sugar Cane Cannabis COO Daniel Penny answer these questions more.
