National Marijuana Consultants Pitch Their Services To Maine

Two nationally known marijuana consultants are among those seeking to advise Maine on how to set up its new adult-use cannabis market. Freedman & Koski of Denver, whose principals are the former Colorado regulators who launched the country’s first recreational market, and BOTEC Analysis of Los Angeles, which provided policy advice to Washington state during its adult-use launch in 2013, responded to a July request for information from the state agencies that will regulate adult-use cannabis cultivation and sales in Maine. The state was not officially shopping for a consultant in its call for information, although both Freedman & Koski and BOTEC responded to it like a help-wanted ad.
