Makaila Sylvan’s Innovative North Carolina Apothecary

Today’s guest, Makaila Sylvan, is the co-founder of The Ghetto Apothecary, a cannabis lifestyle company located in North Carolina. She and her business partner, Kiara Ingram, are new to the legal hemp space but have been well-received by their community - and as a black-owned and women-led business they are modeling a positive cannabis industry movement. Makaila shares insights into her unique offerings and how The Ghetto Apothecary is catering to an expansive demographic who can benefit from Makaila and Kiara’s knowledge about lifestyle, alternative medicine and wellness. Their North Carolina modern-day pharmacy brags a satirical name that Makaila hopes will support destigmatizing cannabis wellness use.

Joyce also speaks with Nicole Bucerra who is the founder of Henlo Hemp, a delicious and healthy dog treat made with hemp seed oil. And Joyce also talks about her afternoon at Bountiful Farms, an award-winning and independent Massachusetts cannabis cultivator who invited her to an event introducing their new cannabis-infused BBQ sauce that was created with The Smoke Shop, an acclaimed Boston-area restaurant. The limited release sauce is now available at select recreational dispensaries in Massachusetts including Bud's Goods and RISE and at Bountiful Farms’ medical dispensary, just in time for summer gatherings with friends and family.
