Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Richard Ratcliff and Abhay Khattar, co-founders of Evergreen Distributors, a multi-million dollar hemp empire built from the ground up in under two years.

They break down the legal gray area that makes THCA hemp virtually identical to marijuana. Then they get into why going farm-to-store direct is the biggest untapped opportunity in a $50 billion industry, and what a looming government deadline means for every hemp business in America.

Four founders from different parts of the world who built something most people can't even dream up. If you're a smoker, an entrepreneur, or just someone who hates being told what to do, this one's for you.
