Founders of Cannabis Giant MedMen Are Officially Out

Co-founders of cannabis retail giant MedMen, have officially left their position on the company’s board, this according to a report by THC Net.

Effective Wednesday, Co-founder and former CEO Adam Bierman and Former president Andrew Modlin, who was a co-founder and Bierman’s partner, stepped down from the Board of Directors, according to Green Market Report.

Bierman stepped down as CEO in February 2020, according to the publication.

The company, which has or plans to have stores in seven legal states, has endured a number of company-wide set-backs, including forced closures as a result of recent break-ins.

Additionally, according to Green Market Report: “MedMen has been heavily criticized in the past for its extreme spending habits and the bottomless need for more capital. Bierman and Modlin have been personally accused of handling money disproportionately to benefit themselves.”

Other missteps cited by the publication include:


- Fiscal losses
- Workforce cuts
- Rumors of unpaid vendor bills

According to THC Net, the company has also taken extreme steps among these missteps to make improvements, including divestment.

In March 2019, "MedMen appointed SierraConstellation Partners senior managing director Tom Lynch and SierraConstellation director Tim Bossidy as interim CEO and interim COO, respectively" in an attempt to turn the company around, the publication reported.

The Evolution Of The Classic Stoner Character in Movies and TV


It’s taken TV and movies featuring stoner characters a long time to catch up with the reality of marijuana culture in the United States. Historically, Hollywood has ignored cannabis all together, then demonized it, misrepresented it, and used it as an easy punchline, before finally giving way to the more nuanced, low-key reality of life in a country where over half its states have legalized the drug for medical or recreational use.

Here, The Bluntness charts the changing depiction of marijuana users in film and TV over the last 85 years or so, and digs in to what these stoner movies might tell us about the changing cultural attitudes around pot in pop culture.

Through Iranian genetics sourcing, cannabis in Iran is collected from specific regions, emphasizing the unique and wild plant varieties.
