On this week’s episode of The Budding Report, we are joined by Leslie Bocskor & Thomas Schnakenberg.

The guests join our hosts Charles Horton, Melissa Nasits, Christian Shaw, MD, PhD, and Chris Perri as we discuss Feds Announce Plan to Continue Marijuana Manufacturing Monopoly, At Least For Now.

Most folks in the cannabis industry for any length of time know Bocskor by face, name
and for his exuberant laugh and immaculate three-piece suits. But do not be fooled by
his formidable frame. This Transylvanian-descended Renaissance man does not
intimidate. He leads by example by embracing an open-source collaborative model
unrestricted by time zones and geographies.

Bocskor’s confidence enables him to assume a leadership role, mentor up-and-coming
executives and businesses and collaborate with other leaders. His experience,
energy, laser focus and passion have helped propel the industry’s financial and
social ascent.

Bocskor’s insights, expertise, and global stature make him the man who policy makers,
investors, and entrepreneurs seek out for future planning and immediate fixing. He
is the undisputed choice as the voice on cannabis issues and business, from
state-of-the-art technology and best practices, to policy, industry financing and
expansion. Committed to a culture of compassion at Electrum Partners and throughout
the industry, he takes pride in ushering in changes that rewrite history, whether
it’s the empathic opening of patient access, or the invention of a national
innovation funding reset button.

His far-reaching banking and entrepreneurial experience and inimitable style are
bolstered with his knowledge of any cannabis vertical — from domestic and
international policy to finding your niche investing opportunity, from supercritical
extraction to ERP solutions, from seed-to-sale to the entourage effect of strategic
business integration. Bocskor has become one of the most influential people in the
cannabis space, guiding policy and reform.
