After a hiatus, Jackie Bryant fires up The Plant Lady again just as San Diego’s cannabis scene blooms in 2025, with new consumption lounges, the first legal sales and consumption events, and the opening of marquee dispensaries. In this episode, she chats with Catalyst Cannabis Co. CEO Elliot Lewis about the brand’s long-awaited San Diego debut, what it takes to run 30+ dispensaries across California, the state’s battle for clean cannabis and his role in implementing new testing standards, and why “Weed for the People” is more than just a tagline.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually in your vape, why the cannabis industry is still fighting for fair regulation, or you’re just curious to hear from a successful businessman in the legal cannabis industry, this convo is a must-listen.
