  • The Future of Cannabis Culture with Brad Zerman of Seven Point

    The Future of Cannabis Culture with Brad Zerman of Seven Point
    Oct 3 2025
    This week on No Simple Road, we sit down with Brad Zerman, founder of Seven Point Cannabis, to explore how cannabis, music, and culture intersect to create something bigger than business. Brad shares his journey of opening and running dispensaries across Illinois and beyond, and how his latest project in Danville, Illinois with Seven Point is redefining what a cannabis experience can be. Imagine an outdoor market, food trucks, nightly live music, and a smoke lounge — all designed to bring people together around community and creativity. With a background in navigating highly regulated industries, Brad has been at the forefront of cannabis compliance, security, and business operations. But at the heart of his vision is something deeper: building an ecosystem where cannabis is a catalyst for cultural connection, live events, and shared experiences. ✨ Topics We Cover: The inspiration and vision behind Seven Point Cannabis How dispensaries can become hubs for music, food, and community Balancing compliance with creativity in the cannabis industry The cultural value of cannabis and its role in connection Whether you’re curious about the future of cannabis culture, passionate about live music and local communities, or simply want a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening beyond the dispensary doors, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on where cannabis and culture meet. Tune in now and discover how Seven Point Cannabis is creating more than a dispensary — it’s creating an experience.

Blending genres into something completely new is no small feat and were here for it! Then, our A.I chat buddy gave us a suggestion for a topic of conversation: Is the lot scene a microcosm of the wider world, is is total chaos, is it a representation of how things could be if we all work together?
