Today’s guest is Jun Lee, co-founder of the cannabis wholesale distribution company Nabis. To anyone even remotely paying attention, it’s clear that the public perception of cannabis is rapidly changing. To date, cannabis is legal for recreational use in 18 states, plus D.C., while another 13 states have decriminalized its use. The winds of change are blowing, and they’re headed towards legalization on a national level. The only question is how long it will be until we get there. For many though, the race towards market domination began long ago. Jun saw a budding industry with loads of untapped potential back in 2017 when he founded Nabis. In just four short years he’s taken the company from a single van making once-a-week shipping runs to serving over 100 cannabis brands and almost 100% of California’s licensed weed retailers.
Listen in as we cover everything from why he had to initially hide his career choice from his parents, why big shipping companies like FedEx haven’t gotten into cannabis distribution, and why there’s no brand loyalty in the cannabis market.
