In Season 2, Episode 3 of the AusCannaPodcast I sit down with Eric Chan the Chief Operating Officer at Cannabis Warehouse. Born and raised in Melbourne to immigrant parents from Hong Kong Eric seemed destined to follow a traditional corporate path until the birth of his first child at 26 shifted his focus towards healthcare. Along with the team at Cannabis Warehouse Eric has played a pivotal role in bringing the AMCA’s Compassionate Access SchemeAKA the “COMPASS Program” to life. With a passion for building a stronger medicinal cannabis framework, Eric envisions a future where Australia leads the world in integrating both legacy and medical cannabis industries.
