Beboe launched early last year and is described as the “Hermes of marijuana." Co-founder Clement Kwan sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about how the brand is changing the stereotypes associated with cannabis. Kwan discusses the importance of packaging when making a luxury brand like Beboe. He says the marketing of the products opens up a whole new demographic to cannabis products. The co-founder also discusses the new demand in sales since cannabis has been legalized in California and what the brand is doing to keep up with those demands. He also reveals Beboe is looking for new ways to sell its products, including potential for brick and mortar stores, but says the company is happy with the direct-to-consumer model and will continue to expand its product offerings.

Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.

The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
