“Authoritative and highly actionable advice on selling marijuana.” – Kirkus Reviews
Published on the one year anniversary of the death of her late brother, Shaun Berry, the book is a heart-felt tribute and advocacy piece about how the racist prohibition of cannabis fueled and empowered the opiate crisis.
Charlena says that, “Access to cannabis as a medicine is a human right and should be made easily available to users, across the nation, without fear of prosecution or discrimination for use.”

She argues that budtenders and cannabis retailer are the frontline of the advocacy efforts for the Cannabis Industry and that the use of traditional retail practices will not only increase company revenue, but it will help community’s breakdown the stigma associated with cannabis usage.
Not only is this book great for existing and new cannabis retailers, but it is also an excellent read any public official who is shaping cannabis regulations in their community.
