Episode Details

Chris is the president of the US Hemp Authority and hemp business owner and is perfectly placed to explain all things hemp to the koalas.

As you’ll hear he knows just about everything you need to know about the US hemp market and why and how it exists as it does.

Yet another fascinating discussion about how US politics, capital and markets work to create the hemp ecosystem as you see it now in the US.

Chris reminds a rather cynical koala that it isn’t all bad headlines.
