Panel: 'Perception' key to success of cannabis business
Minninger’s view was in vogue among the panel members at NJBIZ’s Business of Cannabis event Tuesday at the Imperia in Somerset, moderated by New Jersey CannaBusiness Association President Scott Rudder.
“People don’t know what they don’t know. The perception is Cheech and Chong’s head shop. Folks here know that’s not true,” Minninger said. “There’s this perception that there will be a higher crime rate, vagrants coming in, people laying on the sidewalk stoned. To be able to come to an event like this where you have good folks in here — that changes the perception.”
