Why did you start a Cannabis Tour company in Chicago?
Though I am from Brooklyn, NY… My love for Chicago spans 15 years as some of my top healthcare corporate clients reside in the city. I fell in love with places like the Lyric Opera House and knew that when I had an opportunity to develop a new business, I would want to do it in Chicago. With Illinois set to go recreational in 2020, I knew that I wanted to embark on the developing cannabis tourism space in Chicago.
Are you offering tours in any other city?
Though we have not officially offered tours in other cities… Under the corporate umbrella, Cannalife Tours & Events, LLC, we are developing educational cannabis tour opportunities in Washington DC, New York, Boston, and Tulum, Mexico.
