Interview with Macai Polansky, Cannagram

Jointly sat down with Macai Polansky, Founder and CEO of Sacramento’s cannabis delivery service Cannagram, to get his perspective on the industry, his business, and his journey with cannabis. 

What’s your favorite thing about working in the cannabis industry?

Macai: One of the most rewarding aspects of working in the cannabis industry is the opportunity to engage with individuals from all walks of life who share a profound passion for the plant. Moreover, the knowledge that our efforts directly contribute to improving the lives of others daily is incredibly gratifying. Whether it's unlocking the healing and therapeutic potential of cannabis or simply spreading joy and happiness, the positive impact we make is truly fulfilling.

What makes the Sacramento cannabis market unique?

Macai: The Sacramento cannabis market stands out as a beacon of progress and acceptance within the industry. By embracing cannabis early on and maintaining approved dispensaries for an extended period, the city has established itself as a trailblazer in California's cannabis landscape. This unique environment fosters innovation and growth, positioning Sacramento as a vital hub for industry development and community engagement.

Talk a bit about Cannagram’s recent partnership with Jointly. 

Macai: The prospect of partnering with Jointly fills me with anticipation and excitement, not only for the mutual benefits it promises for our businesses but, more importantly, for the enhanced experience it will offer consumers. By equipping them with innovative tools to discover new products, seamlessly place orders, and track their experiences, we empower individuals to refine their understanding of cannabis and tailor their usage to suit their unique preferences and needs.

We take pride in offering an elevated purchasing journey, where patrons can reach out via phone or chat to receive tailored recommendations from our knowledgeable and passionate staff. Additionally, we prioritize transparency and communication by providing real-time updates on order status, ensuring a seamless experience from purchase to delivery courtesy of our friendly and accommodating drivers.

Moreover, our extensive product selection caters to a diverse range of preferences, ensuring there's something for everyone. Beyond the dynamic assortment of flower strains, prerolls, concentrates, and vapes, we prioritize maintaining stock levels of popular items. This means that once a customer discovers a favorite product, they can trust it will be readily available for their future orders, enhancing convenience and satisfaction.

What is your personal relationship with cannabis?

Macai: For more than 25 years, my journey with cannabis has been nothing short of transformative, evolving into a central passion and purpose in my life. Witnessing the profound impact that safe and affordable access to cannabis can have on individuals' quality of life fills me with immense joy and fulfillment. As an advocate for providing compassionate care and support, being able to facilitate positive change through cannabis is deeply rewarding.

What do you wish more people knew about cannabis?

Macai: When it comes to what sets cannabis apart, two standout features immediately come to mind. Firstly, the sheer complexity of its chemical makeup is astounding. With a plethora of compounds that seamlessly interact with the human body's endocannabinoid system, cannabis has the remarkable ability to influence a wide array of bodily functions and moods. Secondly, the staggering diversity of strains available is truly remarkable. From the uplifting and invigorating to the calming and soothing, the spectrum of unique characteristics expressed by different cannabis strains is a testament to the plant's versatility and appeal.
