Washington State, for example, had almost $1.5 Billion in cannabis sales last year, however sales figures have declined 6 months in a row, with the exception of a Christmas boost thanks in part to the holidays with the in-laws and New Years Eve.What's the Significance?:Some analysts are claiming there's a correlation between cannabis sales and COVID restrictions easing. The theory is that people had more idle time at home during the lockdowns, with extra income from stimulus checks, so many of those people turned to cannabis products. Now that lockdowns are over, the theory goes that those people are now using less cannabis. So What Happened?:Total Sales= $103.9YOY Sales Growth= -7.0% (Sales growth topped 28% prior to Covid)Avg Basket= $33.47Basket Count= 3.1Brand Concentration= 22%Sales patterns were similar to other states, with declines starting right before the summer in May.The Impact:The prevailing theory of attributing lower sales to the end of the lockdowns might be part of the reason, however, I believe the impact of inflation can not be overstated.The same economic factors hitting other business sectors are also affecting the cannabis industry. Cannabis sales aren't falling just because people are trying to enjoy the outdoors, it's also falling as inflation and gasoline prices are rising.Inflationary Pressures:Decreased average basket size trend continues, while the number of transactions continues to increase- indicating consumers are still going to #potshops more often, but spending less per transaction. This could mean consumers are trying to avoid higher minimum delivery requirements and opting to go to dispensaries and buying only what they need instead.Consolidation:Brand concentration has remained relatively steady, however, it's anticipated that consolidation will pick up as Canadian companies and private equity and venture capitalists come into the space in anticipation of U.S. Federal legalization to snap up under-valued cannabis prospects in hopes of a legalization rally that'll spark the next wave of cannabis stock speculation.Episode 939 The #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/Q68gMFMB378

A new study from the National Institute on Drug Abuse suggests that 30% of those who use marijuana may have some degree of cannabis use disorder.The study claims patients could depend on cannabis to keep their issues under control, like chronic back pain and anxiety. In 2015, the same group found about 4 million people in the United States met the diagnostic criteria for a marijuana use disorder.Guests:-Jessilyn Dolan, RN: Director, American Cannabis Nurses Association & Founder, Vermont Cannabis Nurses Association-Christopher Smith: Publisher & Host, The American Cannabis ReportThe #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/LDH4CBnf_ik

Consolidation of the cannabis industry is inevitable as the market matures.Heading into 2022, numerous forecasts predicted another flurry of M&A activity after an energized 2021. With nearly three months of the year complete, opinions are split on M&A activity so far.A Canadian investment firm bankrolled by a unit of lawn and garden giant Scotts Miracle-Gro agreed to purchase New York-based marijuana company Etain Health for $247 million.Toronto-based RIV Capital (OTC: CNPOF) said it signed an agreement to buy the female- and family-owned vertically integrated medical marijuana operator for cash and stock.The transaction is believed to be the largest involving a female-owned business in the cannabis industry and gives RIV Capital – and, indirectly, Scotts Miracle-Gro – the opportunity to capitalize on the upcoming launch of New York's adult-use marijuana market.Etain, one of New York's original five MMJ operators, has four dispensaries in the state, including a flagship store in Manhattan, and is in the process of expanding its cultivation and production facility in Chestertown.The company was the only independent remaining among New York's now 10 medical cannabis businesses. The other nine are multistate operators.The #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/U75Z4WbSO_I

After the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, much of the U.S. began lockdown restrictions – a move that dramatically altered the cannabis business landscape.By contrast, legal marijuana markets in 32 states and Washington DC were allowed to stay open during state-mandated stay-at-home orders, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.Then came the stimulus and employment checks, as the U.S. government sought to keep money circulating throughout the economy to counter layoffs and untold numbers of shuttered businesses.Early during the pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, cannabis sales skyrocketed across the six U.S. adult-use markets tracked by Seattle-based data-analytics firm Headset.By the week of March 16, 2020, cannabis sales in California, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon and Washington state were already 38% higher than during the first full week of January that year.After a brief dip in late March, when many states were in full lockdown, purchases continued to climb through the summer, peaking during the week of Aug. 31, 2020, at 59% greater sales than the first week of January.Sales declined slightly toward the end of 2020 before surging again in the spring of 2021, around the marijuana industry's unofficial April holiday, 4/20.Since then, U.S. cannabis sales in those markets have been gradually slowing, possibly returning closer to a pre-pandemic normal, according to Headset.Episode 919 The #TalkingHedge looks at MJ Biz Daily's article...https://youtu.be/hehq84BUbF0

British Columbia reached over $550 million in cannabis sales in 2021, the market clearly shows upward growth. With that being said, British Columbia presents unique challenges for both retailers and brands to succeed.Being a retail operator in any industry is hard work, but the cannabis industry surely presents additional challenges. And finding success in cannabis often means discovering creative ways to overcome these challenges with limited time and resources. For example, Canadian retailers will be familiar with the Cannabis Act and the promotional limitations that it brings. This includes prohibiting inducements or loyalty programs, which can make it quite difficult for retailers to leverage traditional marketing tactics to set themselves apart from competitors.Understanding the value of brand partnerships and how they support creative marketing solutions has become more important than ever for BC retailers - including measuring how effective data solutions can help retail businesses succeed.Episode 899 The #TalkingHedge looks at Headset's report…#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesDatahttps://youtu.be/cIAn_5ouJBc

Cryptocurrency went from obscurity to U.S. national security, but can it work for the Cannabis Industry? On the one hand, the vast majority of citizens support cannabis legalization, both medicinally and recreationally. We see this reflected every year in local elections that bring more and more parts of the country into the legal cannabis fold. And yet, despite broad public support, marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. Not only does this give cannabis businesses a complicated legal status even in states that have approved them, but it also makes banking impossible. Crypto has the potential to help unbanked cannabis businesses enjoy more autonomy and security. Cutting through the storm is the simple clarity of cryptocurrencies. For businesses that want enhanced safety and simple customer friendliness, no other option provides half so many benefits. Is crypto a fix-all? It certainly is not. For one thing, it tends to solve some accounting problems while creating others. Business owners are responsible for converting their cryptocurrency into dollar equivalencies to pay taxes.

The Prince George Airport in British Columbia is one step closer to hosting what reportedly would be the world's first in-airport cannabis store. Air travelers may legally bring cannabis on domestic Canadian flights. Although the airport is a nonsmoking zone, they plan a designated cannabis consumption area for the responsible consumption of cannabis products. “It's not necessarily because we view cannabis as a way to get intoxicated before traveling – it's that cannabis is a product that people use to relieve stress and travel is a stressful experience, and it's a practice that already exists.” Duty-free cannabis sales, however, would require international destinations that allow travelers to bring marijuana into the country.

California hits $420M in monthly sales, while Illinois took in more tax dollars from cannabis receipts than alcohol during 2021. However, retail and wholesale prices continue to decline every month since August 2020 with the exception of January 2021. For example, after hitting a record in December of $140 million, Illinois adult-use cannabis sales plunged 15% to $117.3 million in January. Still, it's a year-over-year increase of 32%. Canada saw retail prices declined throughout 2021 as well, with the biggest declines seen in: Concentrates, -35% Vape pens, -35% Capsules, -20% Pre-rolls, -19% Flower, -16% In 2021, adult-use cannabis sales in Illinois amounted to nearly $1.4 billion – more than double the figure from the opening year of sales in 2020. Sales officially exceeding $1 billion in November 2021, which was the ninth consecutive month that adult-use cannabis sales surpassed $100 million. Interestingly, Illinois also took in more tax dollars from cannabis receipts than alcohol in 2021, as recreational cannabis taxes in the state exceeded liquor taxes by nearly $100 million.

Time to examine how Prerolls are sold: singles or multiples within a pack. When you compare the market share in the US and Canada, Multi-Packs of Pre-Rolls are more popular in Canada than single Pre-Rolls. For example, in 2021, Multi-Packs accounted for 79% of Pre-Roll units purchased in Canada, and only 25% in the US. Focusing on different age groups and how they purchase Pre-Rolls in Canada, you can see that share of Multi-Packs increased as age groups got older.   Female consumers in Canada also had a larger market share in Multi-Pack Pre-Rolls compared to Males within the same generation. Consumers in the US and Canada seem to prefer different package sizes of Multi-Packs.   In Canada for example, the most popular package sizes of Multi-Packs are the 3-packs (36%) and 10-packs (27%). In the US however, consumers are purchasing 5-packs (37%) and 2-packs (14%) the most, with 10-packs of Pre-Rolls making up 13% of the market. Episode 890 The #TalkingHedge looks at Headset's data...https://youtu.be/HJe60WOvaPE#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesData

Sales of cannabis-infused beverage market is projected to grow from $915.06 million in 2021 to $19,063.58 million in 2028 at a CAGR of 54%, as companies sought to capitalize on new cannabis consumers seeking a familiar form of consumption and those looking for an alternative to alcoholic drinks. Cannabis beverage companies, for example, have been cashing in on health-related trends such as Dry January, when alcohol drinkers abstain for the month and look for alternative ways to relax. The strong demand for infused beverages has not propped up prices – at least not yet. Despite the strong growth, the infused-beverage market remains a small portion of the overall cannabis product mix. While it might be a ways off before customers can walk into a bar and order an infused drink, several licensed cannabis markets have begun the process of licensing public-consumption lounges, which many businesses see as a good fit for beverages. Episode 885 The #TalkingHedge dives into brightfieldgroup's article…https://youtu.be/0L6f6P93kps#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesData

Cannabis stock prices and valuation multiples have been trending downwards since peaking in mid-February 2021 with multiples fluctuating around 15x. They spiked upward in February 2021 on renewed hopes of federal legalization and have drifted lower ever since, despite improving profitability and cash generation, proven access to both debt and equity capital markets, strong cash positions, scaled operations, and the near-certainty of legalization, albeit with an uncertain timetable. The market is likely to get an upward boost from news that the Safe Act will be attached to the America COMPETES (Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology) Act of 2022, a domestic spending bill. We doubt that the bill will get any further now than before, but it is likely to give the market a temporary boost. Viridian Capital Advisors projects Federal legalization in 2025 followed by a spike upward in growth. With legalization, they project two years of increased growth followed by slowing growth for the following years as cannabis normalizes into a regular consumer staple.   The macro headwinds are considerable, but multiples are in excellent value territory. Legalization or banking reform is likely to bring new investors into the cannabis market with positive effects. Episode 884 The #TalkingHedge looks at Viridian Capital Advisors' report…https://youtu.be/HTc_ONWz9Xk#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesData

Some of the damage caused by the “War on Drugs” of the Nixon Era is the discriminatory incarceration of the Black Indigenous people of color (BIPOC) & the inability to carry out research. As a result of inadequate research especially on the federal level, cannabis users have had to rely on what I called “throwing spaghetti on the wall” in order to figure out what Cultivars, or shall I say Chemovars works for various ailment. Our guest today Otha Smith III is no stranger to the above scenario.

We don't often examine so many cannabis categories in a single report, but some interesting trends emerge when Capsule, Tincture & Sublingual, and Oil categories are compared in the US and Canada.   When we look at the combined market share for the US and Canada, we can see that the Capsules, Tinctures & Sublinguals, and Oil categories (CTSO), are stabilizing at just below the 1% mark. When we compare package sizes of these categories between the US and Canada, we notice that the trends are quite different between the two countries. For example, when we look at Capsules, the 0mg-5mg package size is the most popular in Canada with 35.4% unit volume. In the US on the other hand, the most popular package size of Capsules is 1000mg of THC with 32.7% of total unit volume. Given the potential for maturation and innovation within established and emerging cannabis markets, there is plenty of opportunity for these categories to continue to grow and develop.   Whether that includes new products or advanced formulations, or brands that speak to the ever-changing cannabis consumer, we're excited to see what is to come for these cannabis categories. Episode 883 The #TalkingHedge dives into headset's data…https://youtu.be/HxujCk7mTGg#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesData

There are many facets that influence sales trends within the cannabis industry. However, no question may be as alluring as: who is buying all this cannabis?   In this report, we'll explore the proportional sales contributions of customer demographic groups over time and compare these trends across the US and Canada.   For example, sales to both Male and Female consumers have grown in the US, with sales to Females increasing slightly more at 55% from Q1 2020 to Q4 2021, and sales to Males increasing 49% in the same time period.   By analyzing basket and category wallet share trends, we'll gain a better understanding of how different customers shop and what types of products they tend to purchase.   For example, younger age groups have an increased likelihood of purchasing Vapor Pens, while the opposite is true of Edibles. Episode 881 The #TalkingHedge dives into Headset's data…https://youtu.be/ygW7qPGtnrU#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesData

As we return to the studio, this is a conversation full of surprises, of twists, turns and revelations, and it's one of those serendipitous discussions that just leave you thinking "wow". We hear from Claire Bottle, the new-ish CEO of the UK Warehousing Association. Claire covers the serendipity that led from a secretarial role to a logistics leader, with the mentoring she received and how she now looks to create opportunities and training within the industry. Gavin's journey goes from Facebook to establishing a cannabis store, via Tesco and arrives at digital health data. It's a track that blends bravery with analysis, clarity and flexibility. Both of these journeys share one thread - that they defy our expectations. Claire comments that her path is "by no means stereotypical" while Gavin notes several times that the commercial realities today and in the future and "different to our mental model". This is a podcast full of opinion-changing insights and rather than spoiling the surprises now, I'll just remind our listeners that a full transcript with notes and links is available via https://internetretailing.net/retailcraft-retail-podcasts More information on the UKWA here (https://www.ukwa.org.uk/) and on AltaFlora here (https://www.altaflora.co/).

Are any public cannabis companies potential Leveraged Buyout (LBO) or Recap candidates?The recently announced Curaleaf (OTCQX: CURLF) acquisition of Bloom can be considered an LBO. The acquisition, valued at 8x 2021 EBITDA, included 6x EBITDA in seller notes as consideration.Neither Curaleaf nor its subsidiaries will guarantee the debt, which will only be by recourse to the equity and assets of Bloom.Only one company in Viridian Capital Advisors database- Red White & Bloom (OTCQX: RWYBF) appears to be trading low enough for a full buyout. Several other companies, however, appear to be capable of repurchasing a significant portion of their outstanding equity.AYR Wellness is the only company on the list that publicly announced a share repurchase program, with others appearing to be candidates. Seventeen other companies tracked do not have analyst estimates but may be potential candidates.Partial recaps may also be an attractive alternative means of providing cash to owners in private companies.The combination of languishing stock prices and more available and lower-cost debt could lead the cannabis industry in a direction few of us would have expected a year ago.Episode 873 The #TalkingHedge looks at Viridian Capital Advisors Chart of the Week...https://youtu.be/7uCXVKLKn8s

The volume of cannabis capital raised in the first two weeks of 2022 has been significantly lower than in any comparable period going back to 2018. The average deal size was $7.0 million vs. $70.4 million in the same week last year. Three equity deals totaling $492M by AYR, Columbia Care, and Curaleaf skewed last year's totals. The valuation gap between the most prominent companies and everyone else continues to be a prime driver of M&A activity. One M&A transaction closed this week with a total transaction value of $0.53M compared to three transactions with a total value of $431.4M in the prior year. Episode 871 The #TalkingHedge looks at Viridian Capital Advisors' Cannabis Deal Tracker…https://youtu.be/k91s4FcoJgE

Cannabis sales surged in January after falling four consecutive months across all 15 markets Headset currently tracks, with 2021 sales totaling $1.84 BILLION. California is the December sales leader with $442.7M. Year-over-year sales growth continues its single-digit trend with many states experiencing negative YOY sales growth. Decreased average basket size trend continues, while the number of transactions continues to increase- indicating consumers are still going to pot shops more often, but spending less per transaction. This could mean consumers are trying to avoid higher minimum delivery requirements and opting to go to dispensaries and buying only what they need instead. Brand concentration has remained relatively steady, however, it's anticipated that consolidation will pick up as Canadian companies and private equity and venture capitalists come into the space in anticipation of U.S. Federal legalization to snap up under-valued cannabis prospects in hopes of a legalization rally that'll spark the next wave of cannabis stock speculation. Episode 869 The #TalkingHedge dives into Headset's data…https://youtu.be/8ep-oPfzwfs#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesData

the opportunities presented in the United States #cannabis market have been consistently increasing year over year since the inaugural states of Colorado and Washington voted in 2013 for #legalization.   Despite the piecemeal approach we have seen in new states approving and implementing adult-use cannabis markets, we are seeing synergies within regional approaches and established operators improving scalability across distinct cannabis markets. With public support increasing for advancement in #MMJ and recreational cannabis, we expect to see the total addressable market in cannabis continue to increase. By 2025, Headset is predicting that the total annual United States cannabis market has the potential to reach $45.8 billion.   Episode 861 The #TalkingHedge looks at Headset's report on Florida, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, & Ohio #CannabisMarkets…https://youtu.be/0JbszyBwAv8#CannabisIndustry #CannabisData #MarijuanaData #CannabisAnalytics #MarijuanaAnalytics #CannabisSalesData #MarijuanaSalesData

When we look at pricing trends in new and mature markets, we see some patterns emerge. In markets that are in early stages of development, we usually see total sales and product assortment grow together. We see this reflected in the Michigan cannabis market, where sales have grown to $171M from December 2019 to July 2021 and product assortment has grown by 25 times in the same time period to nearly 9,000 products. Prices can start out high in new markets, but as supply catches up to demand and competition builds, prices begin to decline. In Michigan, for example, the average item price of cannabis products has fallen by 40% from October 2020 to 2021. Prices can fall in more established markets too. For example, the average price of a gram of Flower in California decreased by 30% from September 2020 to 2021. We also see patterns in discount strategies in more mature markets and newer markets. In California, discount strategies seem relatively stable with a few retail outliers. In Michigan, however, we see discount strategies shift more significantly since the market is young and in flux.

When Mara Gordon started using medical cannabis there wasn't any lab testing — or any way to know how much of each cannabinoid or terpenes were in any given strain . There was definitely no way of ensuring that you got the same effect from it consistently.So she drew on her profession as a process engineer and decided to start doing it herself.Gordon has been featured in the Netflix documentary, Weed the People, and owns and operates two medical cannabis companies. One of the things she does is collect and analyze data about cannabis products and how patients with different medical conditions respond to them. All of that data is packaged into software doctors can use to manage their patients' medical marijuana treatment.“I know how to collect data. I know how to analyze data. I know how to make I incredibly good medicine, but [doctors] have to be the ones managing [their] patients' care,” Gordon says on The Cannabis Enigma Podcast.What's one of the most surprising things she's learned from all of that data? “The lack of correlation between the weight of the patient and the dose,” Gordon says. “That was shocking.”At the end of the episode, stick around for a Q&A with Dr. Roni Sharon about using cannabis to treat anxiety and depression.
