You Can't Just Kill an Industry Without Major Consequences with Joe Gerrity
Episode 13
Friday, 7 November, 2025

This week, Joe Gerrity, CEO of Crescent Canna joins the Cannabis Equipment News podcast to discuss the existential threat facing the hemp industry, why he believes Senator Mitch McConnell is on a "warpath" to undo the Farm Bill's accidental cannabis legalization, how it's hard to keep your foot on the gas (and people/media/the world interested in your plight) when you face constant attacks, and the sheer amount of money that goes into lobbying—as well as why it's time for the $40 billion to $50 billion industry to spend more than 0.01% on those efforts.Please make sure to like, subscribe and share the podcast.
