On the last episode in our Cannabis in Confections & Snacks series we sit down virtually with Millie Montana, Guilty Pleasures by Millie to talk about the Future of Cannabis - So Many Possibilities.

Millie Montana’s passion for Cannabis was the driving force that got her an early foot into the industry working in all areas from cultivation to retail- she’s had her hands in cannabis for over 10 years.

While living in Miami, she quickly realized that Cannabis was a fast growing industry and the time to get in was now. After living around the country, from east to west coast, Millie took what she learned navigating each state’s constantly changing cannabis laws and returned to her home state, Michigan, to run her own business in Detroit.

In 2015, Guilty Pleasures by Millie was born. What began as a one woman show quickly became one of the most sought after brands in Michigan. She has built a portfolio of brands and products across the entire spectrum of Cannabis.

As founder and CEO of Millie Montana Industries, primarily focused on outdoor cultivation, Millie was able to achieve her goal of vertical integration. She currently has 100,000+ plants under her canopy. Millie’s expertise extends beyond her own ventures, as she consults on various aspects of cannabis manufacturing.

Dedicated to providing thoughtful products with a purpose, Millie believes in the profound healing potential of cannabis. She prides herself in her grassroots history with experience built in the trenches of the fast growing and changing industry. She is the epitome of self-made.
