What will happen on the federal level
with industrial hemp?
Are we going to be able to
finally show that we do care about
consumers in this industry and that
we do want to provide safe products?
There are so many people trying
to do the right thing. They just want
to be given the platform for that. So
that's the first one.
The second is based on what
happens with the former: Are we
going to be able to study and show to
consumers the other cannabinoids in
industrial hemp? How can we look at
all these cannabinoids individually?
(Are we going to be able to look at)
how powerful they are in terms of
product forms and other uses?
One of my bigger fears is really
bad federal legalization that does
not contemplate the businesses,
does not contemplate state-level
importance of infrastructure that's
been built. That does keep me up at
night, because I start to see some of
the folks who are contributing money
to legalization. And I'm trying to think
about all the motives that exist as
people get involved.
What I'd like to see is an industry
that does thrive with a spectrum
of business-where you obviously
will have corporations but you also
have the opportunity for craft and
small business to thrive, because
otherwise it'll get very dull. And who
wants to be involved in something
that got boring?
KRIS KRANE
Co-founder

Right now, I'm sleeping very
peacefully. I negotiated my exit. It
happened.
This is my first week of my post4Front
life, although I am going to
continue consulting at 4Front. It
won't keep me up at night as much
as it did when it was my company
and my entire net worth and my
family's livelihood depended on it.
But if I'm working with people who
I really care about and really believe
in, which is my goal for basically
everything that I do going forward,
then I have to give them my all
and it will personally impact me if
something doesn't work, even if it's
not directly my responsibility.
