Music-Inspired Greatest Hits Cannabis Co. Is Opening First Locations in Massachusetts

February 3, 2022 by MJ News Network Leave a Comment

MASSACHUSETTS: Rhett Jordan, the founder of Native Roots, one of the most successful dispensary chains in the nation, has partnered with Massachusetts local Joe Villatico to bring his latest cannabis dispensary concept, Greatest Hits Cannabis Co. to the East Coast. The venture creates hundreds of employment opportunities in local communities while providing consumers premium, tested products in a truly unique retail environment. The first location opens in Dudley this spring, with storefronts in Taunton and Lynn to follow. 

“Greatest Hits will not only bring jobs to my partner Joe Villatico’s hometown of Dudley, but will also allow us to cultivate and share premium cannabis through a retail experience not seen in any other dispensary along the East Coast,” said Rhett Jordan, Co-Founder and COO of Greatest Hits. “Being vertically integrated means Greatest Hits’ potential is unmatched—as we’ve seen with the 20 Native Roots dispensaries in Colorado. What we’re able to offer our customers now is just a taste of what we’ll be able to offer them as the market matures and expands.”

The company is renovating a 280,000 square-foot mill that will serve as their state-of-the-art cultivation and manufacturing facility. Greatest Hits is on a mission to give East Coast cannabis consumers access to exclusive strain genetics and an immersive shopping experience. DJs, solo musicians or bands will perform daily for customers. In addition, Greatest Hits plans to partner with  local communities to bring live music and events to the neighborhoods in which it serves.

Greatest Hits, located at 35 Chase Ave. in Dudley, is currently hiring.  Job seekers are encouraged to send an email inquiry along with their resume to careers@greatesthitscc.com. For more information, visit greatesthitscc.com.

Medical Marijuana In Oregon: Dispensary Owners Meet With State Officials

June 30, 2014 by MJ News Network 2 Comments

OREGON: For years, the medical marijuana industry in Oregon flourished unchecked, making up its own rules and counting on the tolerance of neighbors and law enforcement to survive.

But now the industry has the state to deal with.

More than 100 medical marijuana dispensary representatives gathered in downtown Portland Saturday to complain, question and comment on the new law governing retail sales of medical cannabis. For more than two hours, dispensary owners, their employees and marijuana growers peppered Tom Burns, the dispensary program director, with detailed questions about how to meet the state’s 31 pages of rules, which spell out everything from security requirements to product packaging and lab testing.

Christian Marijuana Dispensary Reconciles Dogma And Dope While Battling The IRS

February 25, 2014 by mjbusinessweek 1 Comment

CALIFORNIA: Early in the morning on Feb. 24, a large man with a long white beard and big cowboy hat gathered with about a dozen other people to pray outside the San Francisco branch of the United States tax court. In a kettledrum voice, Bryan Davies led the group in the Lord’s Prayer before asking, “If there is any evil here, let it be sent to the lake of fire!”

Then Davies strode into the federal building, where he and his wife, Lanette, took on the Internal Revenue Service in a case that could set an important precedent for the nation’s rapidly growing legal marijuana industry.

At issue is a nearly $875,000 tax bill that the Davies’ have refused to pay on the grounds that a 1982 law meant to prevent drug traffickers from deducting business expenses should not apply to Canna Care, their small “Christian-based” medical marijuana dispensary in Sacramento—or any other marijuana dispensary legal under state law.  [Read more…]

Forces In Excess

September 14, 2013 by mjbusinessweek Leave a Comment

MONTANA: Late one night last October, a SWAT team from the police department in Billings, Montana, served a search warrant on what they thought was a home meth lab. Dressed in military gear and toting assault rifles and a battering ram, the officers surrounded the house. As one group staged near the front door, an officer knocked out a bedroom window and dropped a flash-bang grenade inside. The grenade landed next to a sleeping 12-year-old girl, where it exploded, inflicting second-degree burns on the girl’s back, abdomen, and arms.  [Read more…]
