The Legendary cultivators are prepping for their first Illinois drop and gave an update on their return to California Few things have been more devastating to the California top-shelf cannabis smoker in recent years than the night IC Collective burned down in July of 2021. We caught up with founder Ben Brown as he prepares to enter the Illinois market and return home when possible. Backboned by Brown’s links to the Chem Fam, the network of famous OG growers that ran the Chemdog strain found by Greg Krzanowski in Massachusetts over a quarter century ago, IC Collective was famous for having the gas. Over the years, Brown collected a variety of killer flavors he would pair with the Chem and each other. The results would start filling their trophy shelves in 2013 and lead to their famous mantra, “We run on fuel.” In a world of dessert weeds and new equatorial concoctions that breeders pray may end up the next cookies or Z, most still associate the most potent marijuana in the world with...

The Synergy of Tools and Teams: Optimizing Product Management Workflows

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:35:15 GMT

Because the problem with current systems in the market, including CRM, ERP, PLM, and CPQ, is that they all assume that the product idea is already known throughout the organization.

Adl’s focus is on offering everything a company needs to drive its product roadmap management and definition in a single digital experience for an entire organization.
