Tony Frischknecht, author of the book, “From Black Market To The Man”, shares in this book his experience creating a cannabis business. In 2005, Anthony got his start in the medical marijuana industry in Fort Collins, Colorado. He founded a small, marijuana caregiving business called Highway to Healing.
By the time Tony was 35, he had two dispensaries with sales of $6.5MM annually, as well as two indoor grow facilities with a combined 20,000 square feet of production, in Denver, Colorado. All four locations consisted of 19 city and state licenses.
Tony joined a group, consisting of five industry leaders and started a successful cannabis brand, O.penvape in late 2012. This company was the maker of vaping products and edibles, that posted a top-line sale of $100 million in 2016 and sells a product every nine seconds. Its busy lab creates over 1 million grams of concentrated cannabis oil and buys 10 tons of marijuana per year. Organa Brands is the only cannabis company with products on the market in 10 states and is included at 1,200 dispensaries. Anthony has subsequently moved on from Organa Brand and is following other ventures.
Today Tony holds multiple patents in several different countries for a “vertical grow” system manufactured by Ideal Harvest. “My favorite part of the cannabis industry,” says Anthony, “is watching how fast it is evolving. It is becoming a legitimate and viable industry that is fast converting skeptics to supporters.” It should come as no surprise that he continues to create cutting edge products by way of his many innovative businesses and partnerships. His latest invention, a personal use home extraction machine from Essential Extraction Corp., is sure to revolutionize the way consumers receive their cannabis oil. “I’m always thinking five steps ahead of the competition,” he adds, “and I’m excited about nationwide legalization. We will see it very soon!”
Tony wants to share more of his knowledge with business owners and investors who are looking to join the cannabis industry. After months of hard work, Plant Problems Podcast went live on December 11, 2019. Tony invites industry experts as guests to speak on different topics that have influenced the industry. He has enjoyed podcasting so much he is set to launch his second show February 1st 2021 called Extraction Essentials that focuses on the business of extracting essential oils from plants of all types. It will be sure to open your eyes to many opportunities.
