Recruiting Industry Experts is Key to Success for Cannabis Companies
Reading Time: 6 minutes
The cannabis industry is seen by professionals as one of the most exciting fields to participate in, with many companies attracting some of the brightest industry experts to join them. Agraflora Organics International (CSE:AGRA) (OTC:PUFXF), National Access Cannabis Corp (CSE:META) (OTC:NACNF), CBD Unlimited, Inc (CSE:EDXC) (OTC:EDXC), FSD Pharma Inc (CSE:HUGE) (OTC:FSDDF) and Chemistree Technology Inc(OTC:CHMJF) (CSE:CHM) have all been working hard to sign on cannabis experts in an effort to gain a competitive advantage over their competition.
As the relatively young cannabis industry continues to mature, one of the best predictors of whether a company will survive in the years to come is the strength of its management team. With becoming increasingly fierce, companies led by management teams with plenty of experience – drawn from both within and outside the cannabis industry – have historically had the best likelihood of success. While every company strives to enlist top cannabis industry veterans – the truth of the matter is, these individuals are a rare find. The addition of experts to any cannabis company not only is a big deal in terms of publicity, but also a strong indicator of future success.
The Importance of Experienced Management Teams
The sheer growth potential of the cannabis industry has attracted some of the best executive talents across the world. According to Grand View Research, marijuana is predicted to become a $146.4 billion market globally by 2025, representing a 34.6 percent increase every year. With such growth opportunities available, it’s not surprising why many executives from Fortune 500 companies chose to leave their safe and conventional career paths to take a risk in the cannabis sector.
Recent Expert Partnerships
Cannabis companies are bringing in experts from diverse backgrounds. Depending on the type of cannabis company, the list of experts includes professionals ranging from cannabis market veterans to retail and healthcare professionals, and even law enforcement. The board of Agraflora Organics International Inc (CSE:AGRA) (OTCMKTS:PUFXF) boasts twolongtime Toronto Police officers on their management team. While, FSD Pharma Inc (CSE:HUGE) (OTCMKTS:FSDDF) is headed by physician turned entrepreneur, Dr. Dr Raza Bokhari, Executive Co-Chairman & Interim CEO.
As such, it’s not surprising that cannabis companies go out of their way to partner with high profile figures. Last month, Aurora Cannabis Inc announced it was partnering with billionaire Nelson Peltz. The relationship would help the cannabis giant better position itself for potential retail partnerships.
A much smaller company, Chemistree Technology Inc (OTCQB:CHMJF) (CSE:CHM), recently made news as well when it signed on legendary cannabis industry veteran Nicholas J. Zitelli – known within the industry by his pen name “Nico Escondido”. As one of the most knowledgeable experts in the cannabis space, Nico Escondido has written hundreds of articles about the cannabis industry and best practices. He also founded the Cannabis Genetics Institute (CGI) in Amsterdam, Holland, helping create custom cannabis strains to treat various medical conditions. Besides all of this, Nico Escondido is best known for being a principal at the High Times brand.
With a monthly magazine in publication since 1974, High Times is one of the best-known groups promoting and developing the cannabis culture. Publishing numerous books and documentaries, High Times also hosts the most prestigious marijuana-related competition in the world. The “Cannabis Cup” brings together industry experts, cannabis enthusiasts, and marijuana companies together across the world and holds contests in various product categories.
“I am very excited to join the Chemistree team” said Nico Zitelli in a press release. “Having known and worked with many of the team members in the past, I am confident we will be able build significant value in the Company and help define the future of the cannabis industry.”
For a company like Chemistree Technology Inc (CHMJF) (CHM), getting Zitelli on board is a big deal. As an early investor in the international cannabis sector that’s expanding their vertically integrated operations, the addition of Nico Zitelli to Chemistree Technology Inc (CHMJF) (CHM) will give the company the industry clout it needs to stand out in the market.
“As Chemistree continues its focus on building one of the world’s leading cannabis companies, it is critical to have an experienced board to put us in the best possible position to achieve success. These are exciting times for Chemistree and Nico represents another outstanding addition to our board of directors on our path of rapid growth,” added Chemistree Technology Inc (CHMJF) (CHM) President Karl Kottmeier. “The High Times Cannabis Cup is the most prestigious and extensive cannabis-related competition in the world and having his broad knowledge/specialized expertise, impressive network and reputation will be invaluable assets to the Company’s strategic direction.”
It’s common for massive, multi-billion-dollar cannabis companies to boast impressive hires within the industry. Chemistree Technology Inc (CHMJF) (CHM), on the other hand, is a company with less than $20 million in market capitalization. The fact that this small cannabis company has signed on one of the top industry experts in cannabis is a major accomplishment for the firm. In comparison, few other companies of a similar size can expect such a major name to come on board – something that will propel Chemistree Technology Inc (OTCQB:CHMJF) (CSE:CHM) to a class well above its peers.
Further Cannabis Developments
Back in late March, Agraflora Organics International Inc (CSE:AGRA) (OTCPK:PUFXF) announced they had fully invested a $40 million equity participation agreement with Delta Organic Cannabis Corp. The agreement would see Agra own a 50 percent stake in the second largest cannabis greenhouse in Canada.
In a recent press release, National Access Cannabis Corp (CSE:META) (OTCPK:NACNF) announced their financial figures for their operations since federal legalization. The company achieved over $20 million in retail sales since October 17, 2018. National Access Cannabis has 23 stores across Alberta and Manitoba and is the largest private cannabis retailer in the country. The company is headed by a team with years of experience in retail and healthcare.
Todd A. Davis, Co-Founder and CEO of CBD Unlimited, Inc (CSE:EDXC) (OTCPK:EDXC), formerly known as Endexx Corporation, brings to the team years of experience in investment banking and entrepreneurship. The company has recently employed a private sales group to help expand the company’s product reach both in Canada as well as internationally. Initially launching as a 25-person sales team, CBD Unlimited is expected to grow this salesforce to up to 500 in the next two years.
Another cannabis company that made a major management team announcement was FSD Pharma Inc (CSE:HUGE) (OTCQB:FSDDF). In a recent press release, the company announced that Dr. Charles Pollack would be joining FSD as the Chairman of their Scientific Board. He brings a long history of clinical research in the areas of pain treatment, thrombosis, and reversing anticoagulation.

Backed by blockchain leader Antier, Helium Wars Token earns industry recognition as one of 2025’s top presale projects, underlining the GameFi sector’s growing maturity.
MOHALI, India, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Helium Wars, the innovative Web3 shooter game powered by its native HELM token, has been recognized as one of 2025’s most promising token presales. Developed with Antier, the project merges AAA game development with true digital asset ownership through its advanced token economy.
A Strategic Leap for Web3 Gaming
Conceptualized and created by Antier’s blockchain specialists, Helium Wars is built to transform decentralized gaming with an innovative blend of engaging PvP gameplay, factional strategies, and a play-and-earn economic model. Based in a sci-fi galaxy where helium is the most desirable energy source, players are able to construct bases, fight for territory, and forge alliances—all while earning money in a blockchain-based economy.
Helium Wars’ key innovation is its token, which serves as the AAA game development in-game currency, reward medium, and governance asset, allowing players to gain real value and participate directly in the evolution of the game.
The HELM Token Economy
The HELM token is the lifeblood of Helium Wars’ ecosystem, acting as both in-game currency and governance tool. The players obtain HELM by competitive play, winning tournaments, and maintaining control over resources, and use it to purchase NFT-based weapons, character enhancements, and unique collectibles. The deflationary nature of the token, with a capped 1 billion supply and deliberate burning mechanisms, supports long-term value growth.
The Significance of Presale Recognition
The placing of Helium Wars Token in the 2025 Presale Token Rankings not only confirms the technical validity and vision of the project but also its potential to secure long-term interest within a saturated GameFi environment. The rankings are an indicator of early-blockchain project potential and are watched closely by both retail and institutional investors.
Contributing to its ranking is the token’s evident utility, well-organized presale mechanics, strong roadmap, and the credibility of Antier as a development incubator. Listing makes Helium Wars stand out from speculative tokens as a long-term ecosystem with actual in-game value.
Tokenomics That Reward Utility and Governance
The token is developed based on a deflationary model with a fixed supply of tokens and intended burn mechanisms for guaranteed long-term viability. The presale is set in staged rounds of rising price tiers as rewards for early participation and support of the community.
In contrast to common GameFi initiatives that are plagued by inflation and token uselessness, Helium Wars prioritizes token demand through substantial gameplay rewards, marketplace engagement, and governance involvement through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This provides $HELM with both transactional and strategic value.
A Roadmap Backed by Experience
Antier’s incubation introduces a solid development framework, extensive blockchain knowledge, and a product-oriented approach to the project. Under Antier’s leadership, Helium Wars’ roadmap includes a phased and open rollout:
Q1 2025
- First game prototype ready for release
- Web3 integration and NFT marketplace
- Online multiplayer
- NFT sales
- Character & weapon updates
Q2 2025
- New game modes
- New map introduction
- MVP release on Testnet
- NFT holders events
- Website and collateral rebranding
About Antier
Antier, a renowned AAA game development company, provides unmatched blockchain knowledge to the Helium Wars project through its worldwide team of 1000+ certified industry experts. Their extensive GameFi and metaverse development expertise guarantees Helium Wars offers top-notch gameplay as well as sustainable economic models. From smart contract architecture and tokenomics design to game engine integration and wallet interoperability, Antier has provided full-spectrum game development support to transform Helium Wars into a scalable and immersive blockchain game.
