Ep. 529: Guy Rocourt, Papa & Barkley

Guy Rocourt, of Papa & Barkley, returns for a discussion on good manufacturing practices (GMP). "The GMP is there to prevent the off-chance of something going wrong and to put in standard operating procedure. In our industry, we used to not be transparent because we were secretive, so the road to GMP is about professionalizing some processes so that we have the gear to do it the right way at scale." For Rocourt, the future of cannabis is one that is solvent- and chemical-free without any over-processing. Because the majority of GMP entails your standard operating procedures, codifying processes and looking for places wherein things could go wrong is essential.
