This week, Jon Spadafora, CEO of Flower Union Brands, joins the Cannabis Equipment News podcast to discuss efforts to find a larger edible audience, successes following last year's launch in New Jersey, and a mysterious and exciting new launch in a third market that remains unannounced but "very, very easy to get to from New Jersey."

Spadafora also discusses how Flower Union uses Azuca's fast-acting technology to create more consistent edibles. 

Flower Union is currently in an R&D phase, prepping for a launch into the beverage market. 

Finally, Spadafora discusses his expectations for MJ Unpacked, an upcoming B2B cannabis conference held May 5-7 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
