There’s a real buzz in cannabis and I saw it at the Michigan Cannatech Expo. I met Scotty Rais, Operations Director at CannaBee Extracts and his booth had a pop-up tent and a huge crowd throughout the two days. In today’s episode, Scotty shares his journey in bootstrapping Cannabee Extracts. His end goal was to produce the finest high-quality cannabis extracts, concentrates, oils, and edibles available in Michigan. Their facility uses state-of-the-art technology and decades of combined experience for extracting cannabis and producing clean and precise concentrates with no impurities or remaining solvents.
