This podcast is my pursuit to bring all things cannabis into the mainstream. To break through the stigma and show everyone the myriad of ways cannabis can unlock their true potential that has been within them all along. Drawing from decades of restaurant experience, I am able to look through a culinary lens at the complexity and opportunities of the cannabis plant. We will explore THC and CBD and all the other 111 cannabinoids. You'll learn about your Endocannabinoid System (ECS), discover terpenes and the unlimited combination of synergistic effects they offer. Learn from heritage farmers how to grow regeneratively. Growing up in the Napa Valley opened my eyes to the craft of wine making and the true impact of terroir and natural farming practices. This level of craft is in its infancy in Cannabis. Lets change that together!

“BRANDING BUD: THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF CANNABIS” RELEASES
THE FIRST BOOK TO EXPLORE THE LEGAL CANNABIS BRAND LANDSCAPE

We are excited to announce the release of branding and marketing expert David Paleschuck’s highly anticipated book“Branding Bud: The Commercialization Of Cannabis” (www.brandingbud.com). The publication is a compelling must-read that digs deep into the ever-changing cannabis industry to uncover what brands of all sizes are doing to introduce their products to the hearts and minds of cannabis consumers.

With the global legal cannabis market valued at US$17.7 billion in 2019, it is expected to grow exponentially and projected to reach US$73.6 billion in 2027. Celebrities, athletes, politicians, and large corporations alike are investing and competing in this fast-paced industry. Leveraging the most up-to-date industry research, Paleschuck takes a critical look at the current state of legal US cannabis products, packaging, and consumption.

“My intent in writing the book is to normalize how we look at cannabis as a nation, and as consumers. Never before has a plant been so misunderstood; and those associated with it, so mistreated. As legalization continues, it’s my hope that we’ll look at cannabis and cannabis consumers in a new and different way”, says Paleschuck.

Published by legendary cannabis expert Ed Rosenthal’s publishing house, Quick American Publishing, the first-of-its-kind book also breaks new territory, offering a comprehensive overview and contextualization of this new segment, examining the multitude of emerging brands, their creative assets, and the strategies behind them. “Branding Bud” touches upon the political and legal history of cannabis; consumer segments and means of consumption; and how that has informed the legal cannabis brand landscape developing today.

“Branding Bud” also answers the questions “Who exactly is the cannabis consumer? What’s their lifestyle(s)? What brands speak to them? Is there just one type of cannabis consumer? Are the images of the same celebrities stereotyping cannabis smokers? And to push even further, is ‘smoking’ itself a stereotype of cannabis consumption?”

“Branding Bud: The Commercialization Of Cannabis” will launch globally on April 20, 2021 and is currently available for pre-order on AMAZON (Link to purchase HERE).
