Arslan Kazi is the owner and CEO of Black Market Group, which specializes in hemp products, smoke, and vape shops, and The Standard by Black Market. The Standard is a luxury hemp brand providing consumers with the best alternative hemp-derived THC products. Kazi believes that settling for mediocrity is a problem in the world and that the bar needs to be raised for hemp products. He emphasizes that the best ingredients and specialists should be used in hemp products, rather than settling for just the bottom dollar.
He believes that there are many people who love cannabis, but don't get to use it, and that they should have a good experience with it. Kazi believes that operators in the hemp industry should be looking to provide quality products, rather than a quick buck.
Brice and AR Salon are discussing the importance of providing quality hemp products in order to change the negative stigma associated with hemp and cannabis. Brice believes that many companies only aim to make a quick buck and don't care about the consumer or the product category, which has to end. This could lead to a generation of youth having a negative view of cannabis, and they want to be the catalyst for positive change.
