I would like to introduce myself and my background in the Cannabis industry. My name is Bruce Granger, my start in the industry was as President of Kind Love, a Medical Marijuana company in Glendale, CO, which is a suburb of Denver.  We launched in early 2010, Kind Love was one of the highest-rated dispensaries in Colorado as well as a state-of-the-art grow facility and extraction and infusion division. I was instrumental in launching Kind Love and developing the company’s patient-centric service model.  I sold the company in 2014. Over those years I built 5 grow facilities ranging in size from 5,000 to 40,000 sq. ft. I have worked on designing another 15 grow facilities.

I then teamed up with an old friend to start FlexMod, the plan was to design and build Grow facilities using best in bread technologies for all aspects of the grow from Wall systems to environmental controls, from flooring to tables and racks, this was my specialty. However, the company took a different direction and they decided to concentrate on converting shipping containers to extraction space which was not my desire and I left after four years.

Regarding the cannabis industry, I was a pioneer and am recognized as one of the leaders in the industry.  I consulted with Colorado Senator Chris Roomer in drafting State Bill 1284 – the main MMJ regulatory measure.  After the passage of SB 1284, I was appointed to the first MMJ rules board and assisted in drafting Colorado’s MMJ regulations with Matt Cook.
