Send us a textHere is another interview from Mjbiz Conference in Las Vegas. Everyone has their reasons for why they attend the conference. I go because it allows me to speak in person with people I would not usually get to talk with. This year was no exception. Days before I headed to the airport, I got a text message asking, “Would you want to speak with Ricky Williams?” The answer was yes! I’ve been waiting to interview Williams for some time now. Most people know his story. A Heisman Trophy winner, Williams would be selected #5 by the New Orleans Saints in the 1999 N.F.L. draft. Over his career, Williams would play for the Saints, Miami Dolphins, and Baltimore Ravens before he made a decision that would change his career and help shift the narrative of cannabis use by professional athletes. While in Las Vegas, Ricky sat down to speak about his first time consuming, getting into the business, the resurgence of the running back position in the N.F.L., and whether he’s considered returning to the league.This

This cycle included a debate that ended with Democrats swapping out candidates, an assassination attempt, multiple Zoom calls, and coordinated efforts by both parties to make the other seem like the worst possible choice; the people have spoken.

What about Amendment 3 in Florida and Governor Ron Desantis's role in helping it fail? There was a lot to unpack after November 5th. I spoke about these topics with the Executive chair for the Minority Cannab
