The CannaBS Detector


Have you ever thought about quitting your day job to pursue getting a slice of the multibillion-dollar cannabis industry pie? Are you currently investing in, or considering investing in the cannabis industry? If you answered yes to either of those questions, YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS THIS PODCAST.

Join the cannabis industry's very own veteran BS detector, Kristen Yoder, as she uncovers and dissects the various scams and pitfalls most, if not all, people will encounter along their cannabis journey, through entertaining and informational interviews with experts across the industry.

“The best decisions are informed decisions, and in an industry as new and hyped up in the media as the Cannabis industry is, there are many opportunities for BS to occur, and it is occurring on a major scale."

My guest, Luke Zimmerman, of the Law Offices of Luke Zimmerman APC, filed the first state cannabis trademark on Jan 2, 2018, followed by many more applications since then. Luke is one of those hip, bearded, college professor type guys that knows exactly how to relate cannabis to IP law because he has been studying, watching and waiting for when these 2 paths collide, and they are colliding my friends. While editing and getting this week’s episode ready, the first cannabis patent lawsuit was filed by United Cannabis Corporation. While this episode doesn’t go too into detail about plant patents,  we do go into detail about how and where IP law applies in the cannabis industry - from trademarking strain names(CULTIVARS), to why you want to do some due diligence on your lawyer before they file federal trademarks for you(hint - YOU CAN’T FILE FEDERAL TRADEMARKS FOR CANNABIS TOUCHING PRODUCTS), how apples, roses and cannabis have a lot in common patent-wise, and more!
