It’s another installment of our series on Cooperatives in Rhode Island! Host Emily sits down with Khiry Chivers of PVD Flowers (@pvdflowersri) to chat about the Cooperative Cannabis industry coming soon to Rhode Island. With the passing of legalization of cannabis in RI, the state set aside 6 licenses for cooperative businesses to be set up. PVD Flowers is manifesting to hold one of those licenses. Hear about their journey, the importance of cooperatives in the cannabis industry, and manifesting your future in this week’s episode!
