Keurig Founder Peter Dragone Joins Convenient Cannabis LLC as Equity Partner

Peter Dragone brings years of experience to Convenient Cannabis LLC. Acting as a CFO for a number of start-ups in industries ranging from CPG, Health and Wellness, and SaaS, Peter’s prior experience is that of a serial entrepreneur, managing various start-up and turnaround projects. He is co-founder of Keurig, Inc., now the multi-billion dollar Keurig/Green Mountain Inc. Peter has been granted two patents for Beverage Filter Cartridges. Before starting Keurig, Peter was a senior financial/operational manager for Chiquita Brands International. He has an MBA from Harvard Business School, an MA (in Spanish) from Middlebury College and a BA from Colby College.

It was in 2004 that Keurig launched its K-cups for home market, and today single-use coffee pods are the second most popular way to brew coffee at home after traditional drip, with 26% of coffee drinkers reporting that they own some brand of coffee pod brewer.  50% of owners have an income over $50,000.  Convenient Cannabis’s Puffsy™ is targeting a similar hardworking, upscale consumer demographic who enjoy convenience and quality.

What Keurig and K-cups did in the coffee industry, Puffsy™ pods are poised to do in the marijuana industry.  Containing 0.5 grams of high quality flower, pre-ground, pre-measured, affordably-priced, and packaged in recyclable single-serve glass pods meaning no pipes or bongs to clean – patented Puffsy pods are the ideal bridge product for novice canna-curious consumers entering the market and a unique way for cannabis brands to distinguish themselves among the competition.

Flower reigns as the #1 method of cannabis consumption in the United States, as both loose nugs and pre-rolls.  But for first-time smokers, the process can be intimidating, their joint rolling skills definitely lacking, and correct dosage worrisome.  Puffsy makes the entire process simple and seamless – just peel the foil off the glass pod, place it in the Puffsy pipe or Puffsy bong attachment, and light.

“Puffsy is the first-ever single serve cannabis pod that will redefine convenience and change the way people consume marijuana,” said Zechariah Corcimiglia, Convenient Cannabis Founder & CEO.  “As a white label opportunity, Puffsy can be a powerful sales and marketing tool for any cannabis brand looking to stand out in the highly competitive marijuana industry.”

8 Breeders and Seed Banks with Desirable Strains for 2024

Every cannabis grower hopes to have a plentiful harvest full of top-shelf buds. One of the best ways to meet that goal is by planting quality genetics . But with so many breeders out there, it may be difficult to determine the best cannabis seed banks for your needs. Cannabis seeds are technically legal across the United States since they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. In the last six years, dozens of online seed banks have popped up vying for market share. Offering feminized cannabis seeds and autoflowering seeds in many of the most popular strains , there are endless genetics from which to choose. The best cannabis seeds for an operator may vary depending on whether a grow is indoors or outdoors, their preferred growing medium, and the ultimate goal for the crop. For example, are you hoping to extract rosin or sell smokable buds? These questions must be considered prior to selecting marijuana strains and, by proxy, a source for those genetics....

Will This Be Our Year?

In 1919, a ban on alcohol exposed a cultural divide between urban and rural America and led to a spike in organized crime. Federal, state, and local governments struggled to adapt to the abrupt change in reality that came to be known as Prohibition. The task of enforcing new regulations initially fell to the Internal Revenue Service (thus the term “revenuers” for federal agents who hunted moonshiners) before being passed to the Department of Justice (DOJ). While enforcement was concentrated in rural areas and small towns—where some folks made decent livings by operating homemade stills—urban dwellers continued to enjoy alcohol courtesy of bootleggers and speakeasies. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, after the broken bottles, blood, and dust finally settled, an article in The United States News (now U.S. News & World Report) attempted to give the citizenry an idea of how the path forward might look. The open season for liquor-control laws is at hand. With repeal on December ...
