Bob Eschino
President of Medically Correct, LLC
What do you/your company specialize in?
We are one of the country’s largest infused edible manufacturers and extract companies. We specialize in quality, consistent edibles using multiple delivery methods and cannabinoid ratios for patients and customers in need.
What prompted you to enter the cannabis industry?
I watched cannabis work for my grandmother when pharmaceuticals had failed her. It helped with her pain, appetite and sleep. Seeing cannabis work as medicine compelled me to figure out a way to get quality medicine to patients in need. Since that time, we have worked to get easier, safer access to cannabis for patients. We have been on the forefront of accurate and clean product manufacturing and legitimate health alternatives.
What do you consider to be your most significant business accomplishment?
We sell over one million products a year in Colorado alone to patients and I’m proud that we are able to help so many people. We also employ over 100 people in Colorado and help contribute to the local economy. We also provide assistance to our local schools and shelters, giving back to our community where we can.
What do you consider to be your most significant business failure?
Not being able to effectively navigate the banking regulations to allow us to grow at a quicker pace. Not having access to capital has slowed the companies growth at times.
What is your next business goal?
To continue to help shape cannabis regulations not only in Colorado, but at the federal level as well. I want to see the industry become federally legal, so we can help patients across the globe.

/in Politics /by AdminJoe Biden is running to be the Democratic presidential nominee and wants to make sure you know something: He really, really, really doesn’t believe marijuana is a gateway drug. He did once, but he was younger back then (67 years old in 2010 when he said it was).
He does continue to oppose legalization, but supports reforms such as decriminalizing possession, expunging past records, allowing medical cannabis and letting states set their own laws without federal interference.
