When Andrew Schrot told his family that he would leave Florida to start a cannabis business in Colorado, he was dealt plenty of skepticism — especially from his father, who works as a family medicine physician.
“My dad did quite a bit more research into it, looked into the medical applications,” says Schrot, who founded BlueKudu, a Denver-based edibles company. “At that time, the two big states were obviously Colorado and California. This was back in 2010. And he’s come around quite a bit the last several years.”
