Laze Teams Up With Hazey Taughtme For A Cali Cannabis Collab

The California market is “budding” (pun intended), and there is a new player on the team; Laze Cannabis. As one of the latest products to hit the California recreational marijuana market, Laze is officially brought to you by Just Mary, Greenwood Distro, and entertainment mastermind, Hazey Taughtme™️. The parties came together to form the first childproof one ounce can with a patent-pending lid. Laze will offer consumers an inside look at making a black-owned cannabis brand through a web series to be announced in the upcoming weeks.
Better known as “Haze,” Steven Palmer is a builder, strategist, entrepreneur, and social justice advocate. He aims to expand the cannabis industry for people of color, creating a larger market share in one of the country’s fastest-growing sectors.
“I build brands. I connect the dots. I teach. I create.” Haze said.
Background on Haze
A native of York, Pennsylvania, Haze, otherwise known as Hazey Taughtme, is the CEO of Haze Ent. It is widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading brand managers. Haze is the founder/owner and the publicist for multiple companies, including Miracle Mile Studio, Black Cannabis Magazine, Laze Cannabis, and Royal Danks.
Haze has been instrumental in building the career of popular speaker and community activist Freeway Rick Ross. Like so many other clients, he has helped transform Freeway Rick Ross’ image from former drug kingpin to cannabis entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and community social justice advocate. Haze himself had experienced some of the pain Freeway Rick Ross had experienced, enduring prison and moving through the criminal justice system, and emerging as a new person. Haze helped manage Freeway Rick Ross’s image change, including speaking tours, book deals, film promotions, etc.
As a businessman, manager, and marketer, Haze has been at the forefront of creating opportunities for people of color in the cannabis industry. He works closely with the National Diversity & Inclusion Cannabis Alliance (NDICA) to increase aspiring entrepreneurs’ awareness and opportunities.
Haze has also worked closely in the entertainment industry. He’s been a music enthusiast since he was four years old, and he aspired to become an artist himself. At the age of 18, Haze wrote and sang with a group of three boys from the Harlem Boys Choir. Growing up, his father encouraged him, “If you want to pursue a music career, you also have to play an instrument.” Haze took to playing the piano and keyboards for several years. “Even today, knowing how to play an instrument gives you an advantage in the industry,” he explains.
Haze’s work ethic is the stuff of legend. He’s continuously serving his clients, partners, companies, and anyone else who’s actively working with him, working from 7 AM until midnight each day, and doing it all over again the next day. He claims he doesn’t have much of a personal life but is simply motivated to help create the most significant value and buzz for his clients that he possibly can. Before COVID-19 turned the year 2020 upside down, Haze put together a cannabis/CBD wellness experience for the Super Bowl party this past February for rapper and mogul Diddy.
The sky is the limit for Haze and Laze Cannabis and we look foward to watching this dynamic partnership come to life!

Things To Consider When Buying A Dispensary

When buying a dispensary, there are many vital factors to consider. The location of the dispensary, the amount of foot traffic, and whether or not the location has a parking lot can all be essential components in determining how much revenue a dispensary will generate. In order to ensure that your business is profitable and successful, you need to ensure that your store has an attractive interior design and exterior signage that attracts customers immediately.
In this post, we will discuss some of the critical aspects to consider before you decide to buy a dispensary.
What does it mean to own a dispensary?
The first thing you should know about buying a dispensary is that you’ll be taking on a lot of responsibility. When you own your own business, you are responsible for the day-to-day operations and must hire and fire employees, manage the inventory, and handle customer service issues. If you don’t have experience with all of these things, it may be helpful to work at another dispensary before purchasing one of your own.
It is vital to do research before buying a business.
Once you have an idea about what’s going on in your market, the next step is finding out whether buying a dispensary will be profitable for you. Before diving into the world of cannabis, it is crucial to do the proper research. Research is critical when buying any business, but especially in this industry. This is because there are so many factors that can affect the success or failure of your dispensary. To help you navigate these waters, we’ve put together a list of things to consider when buying a dispensary (and some resources to help).
- Research the market: How large is the population? Are they willing to embrace recreational marijuana? What other dispensaries are there? Who are they competing with?
- Research the competition: Do they have a brand identity that makes them stand out from other companies in their area? If so, how did they establish such a presence, and what can you learn from that strategy for yourself? What do other dispensaries do well, and where could you improve upon their model if given an opportunity to take over one day (which will happen sooner than later)?
- Research regulatory environment: Does your state require licensing fees or taxes on businesses like yours? If so, how much will those cost each year going forward?
What is the cost of buying and owning a dispensary?
The cost of buying and owning a dispensary is another factor to consider before you buy a dispensary. You’ll also want to consider the cost of hiring employees, marketing and advertising, compliance with state regulations, and supply purchases.
Here’s how some costs break down:
- The cost of buying your own building or space is an important consideration, as it can add up quickly if you don’t have enough capital saved up yourself. A location may cost $100K or more; this amount could include construction costs, equipment installation charges, and permit fees (if applicable).
- Another significant expense is paying for labor resources such as managers who oversee operations on site and security guards who protect against theft or other types of crime occurring at night when customers aren’t present during closed hours.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can see that buying a business has many challenges. It is important to do research before buying a business and make sure it is worth the investment. You need to consider the cost of buying and owning a dispensary as well as what it means to own one. The last thing you want is regret after investing so much money into something that doesn’t work out as planned.
