Hi! My name is Rachel and I am a career weed lover and industry consultant based out of beautiful Denver, Colorado. I hail from a rich retail background of archaic and nostalgic shops such as Gamestop and the much-loved Blockbuster video. Some of you might 'member. It's what we did before smartphones and Netflix.

 

When I moved to Colorado in 2012, I quickly became curious about the emerging legal marijuana industry and knew I wanted to be a part of it. Not only has smoking weed been a passion of mine for eons, but sharing my knowledge with novice consumers, and destigmatizing and normalizing its use in everyday life has been a calling.

​

Nowadays, I am focused on sharing that knowledge with a whole new generation of cannabis entrepreneurs and start-ups, as well as doling out that secret sauce to established market frontrunners who are looking for that extra edge over their corporate cannabis rivals. Thus, Grass Type Consulting, LLC and the blog for cannabis professionals, was born.

 

It's not just about smoking it.

 

 It's about outfitting your facility, managing your labor, making sure those plants stay healthy, balancing income and costs, and staying compliant with state and local laws. Not to mention bringing to market an entire branding and product strategy to set you apart from all the other green Johnnys and Janes out there. It's about melding business fundamentals with the all-new "tried-and-true" gained from real-world experience in the cutting-edge cannabis industry.

 

That's where I come in.
