DispensaryExchange.com was established by Steven Michael Apple Baum, a former Microsoft Database Engineer and the proprietor of one of Washington State’s pioneer medical marijuana dispensaries. With a decade of expertise in cultivation, dispensary operations, CBD and hemp-derived products, as well as digital marketing, Steven identified a knowledge gap between cannabis vendors and dispensary store owners during his tenure at the Red Emperor Collective. This realization inspired him to launch DispensaryExchange.com, providing a platform for dispensary owners to seamlessly connect with vendors in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry.
