Meet Melany Dobson. She is the VP of Brand Development at Hudson Hemp and Treaty. Hudson Hemp uses regenerative farming techniques for the betterment of our planet, people, and society. During her previous roles as executive assistant for a major cannabis brand and as a compliance manager for Humboldt Brothers, a network of medical marijuana production firms in Northern California, she gained expertise in local regulation and state legislature. Seeking to unite her commitment to climate change and regenerative land management, she worked as a research and lab contributor assistant at Hudson Carbon before joining Hudson Hemp. Inspired by a childhood spent on organic farms, Melany is motivated by the potential of cannabis as the future of food, fuel, fiber and medicine. She brings a savvy and focus to her role as VP of Brand Development at Hudson Hemp and now Treaty.  If you’ve dropped by Le vital corps Salon previously,  you can probably guess from Melany’s bio, there were so many things for Melany and I to discuss. As a result, there were lots of layers to our conversation. We geek out on farming, specifically regenerative agriculture. We talk about her roles at Hudson Hemp and Treaty, plus how she got involved working in the cannabis/hemp industry. We take on rituals and what they do  for her. Of course, we talk about cannabis - the industry as a whole, the various choices of cannabis for the consumer, and her contribution to shaping the cannabis space in New York State. If you were ever curious about the cannabis industry and how regenerative agriculture can help our planet, then you’re in for a treat.    Selected link love + resources from the episode can be found here:  https://www.vitalcorpswellness.com/blog/lvcs-0076-melany-dobson
