The dictionary defines the word “visionary” as a person with original ideas about what the future will or could be like. Kolton Krottinger is such a visionary. A Navy veteran who suffers from PTSD and anxiety, Krottinger has spent many years and a small fortune to help others.
He has written and published three books including, The Truth About Anxiety, that are geared towards pinpointing steps to relieving anxiety. As an entrepreneur, he has searched for legal ways to cope with anxiety. This search led to the creation of Anxiety Hackers, a business which gives Americans access to quality medicinal marijuana grown by local, educated farmers.
This is done to improve the perception, quality, and experience of the cannabis community from seed to consumption. Krottinger has one of the largest outdoor growing facilities in the state of Oklahoma. He said he is looking to expand that to all fi f t y s t a t e s a l o n g w i t h h i s dispensaries, as the laws in each state adapt to the growing trend.
Krottinger partnered with Jordon Belfort, the original Wolf of Wallstreet, to take his vision to the next level in Madill Okla. The plans involve Trojan Horse Tacos, a dispensary-based food spot with 24-hour service, along with his Anxiety Hackers Cannabis Lounge.
Krottinger said that he saw a need within his community, and he was set on creating a solution for the need – a place that not only created employment opportunities, but a safe place to go and relax, maybe even a spot to link to the Wi-Fi and do some work.
The lounge could not come at a more opportunistic time because the state of Oklahoma is poised on new legislation aimed at a possible expansion of medicinal marijuana. HB 3228 is a comprehensive package containing various policy changes to the state’s medical marijuana program.
The bill will allow out of state residents to obtain temporary medical marijuana licenses that last for up to three months and provides for legal cannabis delivery services. For anybody who would like to hear more indepth information on the upcoming lounge and other insights from Krottinger, tune in to the “The Wolfs Den” podcast on July 22, 2021.
