Author: Cannabis Radio March 11, 2026 Duration: 29:41

David Spang, co-founder of Coastal Green Wellness, dives deep into the turbulent legislative landscape of the Southeast cannabis market. Spang discusses the high-stakes battle against impending hemp bans in South Carolina, advocating for comprehensive regulation over total prohibition to protect both small businesses and consumer safety.

He highlights the human impact of these products—sharing moving stories of how they serve as vital alternatives to pharmaceuticals—and introduces his "out-of-the-box" beverage brand, Nine Dot, which aims to normalize cannabis consumption in social settings. Ultimately, Spang issues a passionate call to action for lawmakers to listen to their constituents and embrace the economic and wellness potential of a transparent, well-regulated hemp industry.
