BRĒZ immediate success is a testament to the power of a skilled team, a great product, and incredible marketing. A little over a year since its inception, BRĒZ hockey stick trajectory is undeniable and worthy of emulation.
When executed perfectly, marketing becomes more than just a line item on a P&L it becomes a tool with unlimited potential. BRĒZ ability to connect with consumers on a personal level and address all hidden potential questions and concerns reflects textbook marketing prowess that would earn the approval of industry legends like Gary Albert or David Ogilvy.
The storytelling marketing strategy isn't an Ad but a friendly, informative guide. Educating consumers about an alternative to alcohol minimizes the intimidation factor and highlights the product's benefits, such as its quick onset and ability to eliminate brain fog.
The true beauty of Bez's marketing lies in its authentic storytelling, a quality that is easy to identify yet extremely difficult to replicate.

🎙 The Dime Podcast:
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) is a commonly used term in the cannabis industry, encompassing brands and dispensaries. When it comes to luxury purchases, the entire experience and the emotions it evokes play a crucial role in evaluating customer satisfaction. Luxury brands can command premium prices due to their positioning and the inherent value associated with their products. While the cannabis industry is gradually moving towards establishing such premium price points, it requires a deep understanding of exceeding expectations at every customer touch point.
Implementing and refining these strategic principles is a valuable endeavor. However, it presents significant challenges, including current marketing restrictions, limited capital resources, and the complex nature of establishing a consistent national brand identity in a market that operates on a localized basis.
Applying and developing these strategic principles is a valuable undertaking but comes as a steep uphill challenge.
This week we sit down with David Goubert, CEO of Ayr Wellness, to discuss the following:
- How AYR is applying luxury retail principles
- Implementing realignment strategy and why certain assets didn’t fit
- Key touchpoints in the customer journey
- Where Opportunities are in cannabis via marketing

An enormous victory for the US Cannabis Vaping sector happened, and most completely missed it.
The recent “definitive victory” by AVD was a critical win for the cannabis industry.
A monopoly would have jeopardized the entire category and potentially put a stranglehold on crucial hardware. This ruling ensures that competition continues and allows brands and consumers to not suffer at what could have been.
The bigger question remains, is this IP battle the first of many?
We sat down with Alex Kwon, Founder and CEO of AVD, to discuss the following:
- USITC cannabis vaping dispute
- Wartime CEO strategies
- Building a Diversified supply chain
- Forward-thinking disruption tactics
About AVD:
In our former lives, we were extractors and processors. And, probably like you, we were looking for vape hardware equal to our oils. Except we couldn’t find consistently reliable cartridges. That were correctly designed. Didn’t burn our oil. And were priced for the market.So we said to ourselves,
“We know exactly how the perfect cartridge should perform. After all, we’ve been in the industry for 20-plus years. From cultivation to managing licensed extraction labs to processing and formulation. We’re perfectly positioned to engineer and manufacture our own hardware.”

Imagine this. You operate a state-licensed business. You pay your taxes and follow ALL the rules and regulations as defined.
You hear a knock at your home door on your daughter's birthday day. U.S. federal Agents are there to charge you with the Kingpin Statue or the same law designed to target El Chapo and other cartel leaders.
Not only have you never been convicted of a crime, but you have also followed all the rules California enacted when they passed the Compassionate Use Act in 1996
Certainly, a jury of your peers who voted for this law almost a decade earlier would be an arbitrator of truth and fair would recognize you’re not a drug kingpin, let alone a criminal. This is the United States of America.
This week we sit down with Luke Scarmazzo, One of the first licensed medical dispensaries in the United States, who shares his compelling story.
We discuss:
- 2004 California Cannabis Industry
- Scarmazzo vs. United States of America
- Emotional rollercoaster
- His mission now and how others can help
- And so much more
About Luke Scarmazzo
In 2006, Luke Scarmazzo was running a state-legal medical cannabis dispensary in Modesto, California, when he was arrested by U.S. federal agents following a DEA raid of the business. Scarmazzo was prosecuted in federal court and received a 22-year jail sentence. He and his family have turned to The Weldon Project for support.
Though Scarmazzo’s dispensary was legal through California’s Proposition 215 – which legalized medical cultivation, sales, and consumption in the state – he and his business partner were charged under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute. The CCE Statute, also known as the Kingpin Statute, is a federal law designed to target large-scale drug traffickers and cartels who are responsible for long-term and elaborate drug conspiracies. It carries a mandatory minimum jail sentence of 20 years.
In 2017, after serving nearly a decade in jail, Scarmazzo petitioned the Obama administration for commutation. His business partner, Ricardo Montes, received clemency, but Luke’s request was denied. In 2020, advocates with the nonprofit The Weldon Project included Luke's name on a list of 25 marijuana offenders sent to the Trump White House as part of a clemency campaign supported by Republicans, Democrats, law enforcement and various celebrities. Although President Trump granted nine of the requested pardons, Luke’s request was not granted.

About the Cannabis Marketing Association
Cannabis Marketing Association was founded in 2016 by cannabis marketing executive Lisa Buffo in response to the unprecedented challenges cannabis communications professionals were experiencing. Industry marketers were unable to use traditional marketing tactics and technology such as paid advertising, social media, or digital outlets. This reality, coupled with unclear regulations across fragmented markets and a pervasive perception problem, left cannabis marketers with the task of rebranding cannabis as the then-nascent industry was rapidly growing.Cannabis Marketing Association was established to bring the cannabis marketing community together so that best practices could be shared through our collective knowledge.

This week on The Dime, we host Luke Anderson, Co-Founder at Cann, to discuss:

Cann is a sessionable drink, meaning you can control and build your buzz because it's microdosed with just the right amount of THC. With a typical onset of just 10-15 minutes, start with one and go from there. For those new(ish) to cannabis, we typically recommended 1-2 Canns.
About Luke Anderson:
Luke Anderson is the co-founder of Cann, the world's first micro-dose THC beverage. With his colleague Jake Bullock, Anderson launched Cann in 2019, disrupting the industry with a sessionable cannabis-infused beverage line.

Eric Levitt Founder of Pure Wisomds joins The Dime to discuss

- Formulation conversations on bridging the gap between mushrooms and minor cannabinoids
- Quantifying CBD for a dose
- Expected time to experience when consuming Pure Wisdom Cannabinoids Products
- Challenge with CBD Industry
- Why cGMP matters
Learn More about Pure Wisdom
Eric Levittis the Founder of Pure+Wisdom Foods.The reason I started this company was to create everyday health and wellness supplements that you could actually feel and quickly knew were making a positive difference in your daily routine. (And also to provide an alternative remedy to some of the harmful opioids and drugs on the market today.)
Creating a functionally different product starts with combining hemp-derived cannabinoids and adaptogen mushrooms. The next key ingredient comes in the form of technology, specifically applying Time Release capabilities to the CBD. The reason we do this is because CBD has a unusually short half-life in the body; from the time you take traditional CBD in the form of tinctures or soft gels, it’s typically reached it complete absorption in the blood plasma within 75 minutes and it’s done. Using time-release technology, we’re able to increase the amount of time you’re still absorbing the CBD for up to six hours.
Tech pioneer and industry veteran, Jeff Ragovin share his thoughts on Fyllo, cannabis software and cannabis use in professional sports. Jeff has a proven track record of leading and scaling technology platforms.
