What if we told you the future of cannabis looks less like dispensaries... and more like the milk aisle?Everyone's chasing growth, market share, and the next hot product — but few are asking the deeper question:What will the cannabis industry actually become?While cannabis is certainly disruptive, its future likely follows a few predictable paths — built on established infrastructure where companies must choose: go big, go niche, or get squeezed out.This week we sit down with Brett Puffenbarger, founder of Good Highdeas, for an unfiltered look into where cannabis is heading — and why most operators aren't ready for what's coming.Why small brands need to niche down fastThe “hourglass” market effect no one is talking aboutWhat the "milk aisle model" means for the future of weedChapters00:00 Introduction to the Cannabis Journey01:39 Early Days in the Cannabis Industry04:02 Entrepreneurial Spirit and Military Influence06:18 Challenges in the Cannabis Business Structure09:16 The Role of Leadership in Cannabis Companies12:40 Navigating Growth and Sustainability15:00 Identity Crisis in the Cannabis Industry19:12 Future of Cannabis: Specialization and Market Dynamics23:25 Challenges in Cannabis Beverages and Market Entry26:54 Navigating the Cannabis Market Landscape30:10 The Future of Cannabis: International Perspectives31:43 Building for the Future: Infrastructure and Market Positioning34:17 Understanding Consumer Needs in B2B and B2C37:47 Identifying Opportunities in the Cannabis Industry40:00 Cultural Shifts and Consumer Perceptions of Cannabis42:07 Business Fundamentals: Delight Your Customer46:10 Positioning for Future Growth in Cannabis Guest Links:https://www.linkedin.com/company/goodhighdeas/https://www.linkedin.com/in/brettpuffenbarger/https://www.goodhighdeas.net/Our Links Bryan Fields on TwitterKellan Finney on TwitterThe Dime on TwitterAt Eighth Revolution (8th Rev), we provide services from capital to cannabinoid and everything in between in the cannabinoid industry.8th Revolution Cannabinoid Playbook is an Industry-leading report covering the entire cannabis supply chain The Dime is a top 5% most shared  global podcastThe Dime is a top 10 Cannabis Podcast The Dime has a New Website.

The #SAFE Banking Act is a bipartisan bill recently introduced in #Congress that seeks to provide protections for financial institutions that take on cannabis-related businesses as clients. If passed, the act would prevent federal regulators from taking punitive action against banks and other financial providers who work with marijuana-related businesses. Federal #Legalization News | SAFE Banking Act Re-introduced Again If passed, it would be an important step forward in ensuring that those who have been convicted of minor #marijuananews offenses are not held back from accessing educational opportunities or employment based on their records. This bill is supported by both Democrats and Republicans, making it a promising step towards justice reform. Get in touch with us:

Federal Legalization News | Bi-partisan PREPARE Act filed in Congress April 2023 Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) introduced the Preparing Regulators Effectively for a Post-Prohibition Adult-Use Regulated Environment Act (PREPARE) Act on Thursday, in an effort to ensure that states have the resources they need to safely regulate and grow the marijuana industry. The bill aims to provide assistance to state governments so that they can implement effective regulations that are adapted to their particular needs. It also establishes a grant program that would fund research and technical assistance projects related to marijuana regulation. Get in touch with us:

The cannabis industry certainly has a plethora of regulations to follow, so compliance is crucial. In fact, some operators like to joke that cannabis is “more heavily regulated than plutonium”. We talk about some of the complicated or challenging regulations already happening at the state level since it's currently illegal at the federal level.So that begs the question of the next stage or next step in all this, as we all look toward federal legalization. We dive into what they see happening on the regulatory side once that happens. Will the states that are more established with a cannabis market need huge changes, or will there be a smoother way to adapt to federal regulations? Harry Bernstein joins us today to discuss all this more!Harry Bernstein - executive director of Verde Compliance Partners. As general counsel of a beer and wine wholesale distributor for nearly two decades, Harry handled all legal matters including, contracts, franchise agreements, labor negotiations, as well as state and federal licensing and compliance.

Biden Pardon Portal Opens - #Federal #Legalization #News In October 2020, President Joe Biden used his executive authority to grant pardons to Americans with a federal conviction for low-level marijuana possession. The Office of the Pardon Attorney developed a form to collect information from potential pardon recipients and estimated that up to 20,000 people might apply. According to the US Sentencing Commission, nearly 7,000 individuals are eligible for relief. Get in touch with us:

[Part-2 w/ Ruth Fisher, PhD] We dive into the hotly debated topic of federal legalization. With more States legalizing cannabis for recreational use, the pressure is on for the federal government to follow suit. What forces are driving federal legalization, and how will it impact businesses and States that have already legalized cannabis?  

President Joe Biden has officially signed a marijuana research bill into law, making history by enacting the first piece of standalone federal cannabis reform legislation in U.S. history.The law gives the U.S. attorney general 60 days to either approve a given application or request supplemental information from the marijuana research applicant. It also creates a more efficient pathway for researchers who request larger quantities of cannabis.We look at the institutes of higher learning forwarding the need for undisputable research, and how two of the largest polling companies in the nation continue to survey and keep learning how the public continues to broadly favor legalization of the drug for medical and recreational purposes.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We've seen some big #federal #Cannabis #news in the headlines this week when President Biden signed a historic bill approving cannabis research. A national banking association has made demands urging the Senate to take action on the SAFE Banking Act. President Joe Biden today signed into law a bill that streamlines access to marijuana for medical research. The new law is expected to speed the issuance of government permits to scientists who want to study cannabis, whose medicinal promise has been widely touted but remains, with a few exceptions, unproven. It will also expedite applications from producers—including universities—that want to grow and distribute the drug for research. It also obliges the federal government to make sure an adequate, uninterrupted supply of marijuana is available to scientists. “We will now be able to treat marijuana like we treat any other substance or pharmaceutical for which we hope there is potential benefit. We will be able to subject it to rigorous scientific trial,” says Representative Andy Harris (R–MD), a physician and former National Institutes of Health (NIH)–funded researcher who helped usher the bipartisan legislation through Congress. https://www.science.org/content/article/new-u-s-law-promises-light-marijuana-research The four co-chairs of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus—Blumenauer and Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Dave Joyce (R-OH) and Brian Mast (R-FL)—released a joint statement following the president's signing. “For decades, the federal government has stood in the way of science and progress—peddling a misguided and discriminatory approach to cannabis. Today marks a monumental step in remedying our federal cannabis laws,” they said. “The Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act will make it easier to study the impacts and potential of cannabis.” “Research is foundational for the path forward on cannabis policy. Research is essential to better understand the therapeutic benefits of cannabis that have the potential to help millions of Americans struggling with chronic pain, PTSD, multiple sclerosis, anxiety disorders and more. We celebrate the enactment of this critical and long-overdue legislation, and we know there is much more to do to remedy the ongoing harms of the failed war on drugs. Our caucus will continue working to reimagine the federal government's approach to cannabis and enact further reforms. In the coming weeks, we are committed to passing subsequent bipartisan, common-sense proposals like the SAFE Banking package, the Veterans Equal Access Act, the PREPARE Act, and the Veterans Medical Marijuana Safe Harbor Act.” https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/legislation/2022/12/02/bills-signed-h-j-res-100-h-r-8454-s-3826-and-s-3884/ H.R. 8454, the “Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act,” which establishes a new registration process for conducting research on marijuana and for manufacturing marijuana products for research purposes and drug development; Thank you to Representatives Blumenauer, Harris, Griffith, Joyce, Mace, and Perlmutter, Delegate Norton, and Senators Feinstein, Grassley, Schatz, Durbin, Klobuchar, Tillis, Kaine, Ernst, Tester, and Murkowski for their leadership.

With more states beginning to open legal cannabis markets, the needs of dispensaries are shifting, and technology providers have struggled to keep up. Evolving consumer demands and regulations require retailers to stay agile and efficient, and ineffective software can hamper a business's scalability and long-term growth. In this episode, Kyle Sherman, Founder and CEO of Flowhub, discusses the cannatech company's new intuitive, flexible, and performant solution — Flowhub Maui — focused on helping cannabis retailers increase profits, operate more efficiently, and create superior customer experiences. Kyle also talks about his journey to launching Flowhub, the company's efforts to support federal legalization and how social equity programs move the industry forward.

Last Thursday President Joe Biden pardoned thousands of individuals convicted of possessing marijuana, saying the current system “makes no sense” and sending pot stocks soaring on the news. This is a good step forward for criminal justice, but how much does this move the needle for federal decriminalization and legalization? Cy and Emily break this down a little further on this episode of the High Rise.

She also takes us through how they are navigating out-of-state operations and continuing to expand on the untapped potential of cannabis.[00:00 - 05:03] Prediction for Federal Legalization[05:06- 18:03] A Professional, Trustworthy, and Information-Forward Brand[18:04 - 24:36] Customer-Driven Innovation[24:37 - 30:00] Creating Products for Different Consumers [30:01 - 38:28] Insights on Interstate Cannabis Commerce[38:29 - 49:26] Strategies for Succesful Cannabis Marketing[49:27 - 56:43] Authentic Collaboration and Merchandising  When Kristi Palmer and her husband Scott founded Kiva in 2010, it was during California's growing medical cannabis days. Frustrated by the inconsistent, low-quality edibles available at local dispensaries, Kristi and Scott saw a unique opportunity: a chance to reinvent cannabis edibles and deliver a more consistent, safe, and delicious product than consumers were used to at the time. They began making cannabis-infused chocolate bars out of their Bay Area home kitchen, and the rest is history. Today, Kiva's award-winning chocolates, mints, gummies, and chews are the most trusted, recommended, and sought-after edibles available. For this, Kiva has become the most recognized edible brand in cannabis with a passionate customer base throughout hundreds of dispensaries in CA, AZ, NV, MI, IL, OH, OK, MA, HI, and now Canada.  Kiva has won over 20+ Best Edibles and Best Edibles Producer awards for their portfolio of Kiva and Terra chocolates, Petra mints, Camino gummies, and Lost Farm gummies and chews. In 2020, they also won six prestigious Clio Awards for marketing and advertising excellence in the cannabis industry.Connect with Kristi!Check out KivaConfections.com. Shayda Torabi has been called one of the most influential Women in WordPress and now she's one of the women leading the cannabis reformation conversation building one of Texas' premier CBD brands.

The pace of innovation and change in the cannabis industry is relentless, so remaining eager and adaptable is key to ensuring success. As regulations evolve at the state and federal levels, opportunities have arisen for operators to attract new customers, educate both experienced and inexperienced consumers on cannabis, and provide memorable and elevated experiences through consumption lounges. With lounges set to open in Nevada this year, operators are looking to create safe, clean atmospheres for guests to enjoy cannabis in a fun and engaging setting. In this episode, Brandon Wiegand, chief operating officer at Thrive Cannabis Marketplace, discusses the future of cannabis consumption lounges, the delicate balance between catering to tourists vs. locals, and how lounges can differentiate themselves in the market. Brandon also talks about the challenges of competing against a robust illicit market, what growth looks like for Thrive, and why there are benefits to waiting for federal legalization.

(Part-2-Business) Methods for making cannabinoids from bacteria, yeast or algae may become more effective than getting cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. If that becomes the case, how might that factor into federal legalization regulations? We discuss this with our guest, Rob Evans, Co-Founder of Purissima.   Chapters: 00:00 - Intro, Customer Base 08:34 - Future Competitors & Market Issues 15:30 - Federal Legalization  21:10 - Outro, Prussima   

If you've been following the podcast for a while, you've undoubtedly heard us ask our guests: “When do you think we'll see full federal legalization?” We've gotten all kinds of answers, but most of us are making educated guesses at best. To get more of an insider's perspective, we're thrilled to be talking to Jarrod Loadholt. He's a partner at Ice Miller LLP's cannabis group, where he specializes in cannabis law. Previously, he was the head of Credit Karma's Washington D.C. office, and before that, he co-founded a full-service public affairs firm with a focus on government relations, public affairs, strategic communications, and electoral campaigns. This makes him more than qualified to discuss this episode's topic: federal cannabis legalization in the United States. In our conversation, we dig into why cannabis isn't a huge legislative priority at the federal level right now despite massive support, the incremental changes that could help the industry right now, and what the SAFE Act is–and how you can help get it passed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why the coming midterms will give us a much clearer picture of what's to come for cannabis. What makes the cannabis industry so bad at advocating for itself in Washington. Why the SAFE Act has taken way too long to pass–and why the Cannabis Administration Opportunity Act (CAOA) is not happening. Why the Biden administration has yet to embrace mass clemency. How crypto can play a role in cannabis banking despite being a highly speculative, high-risk field.

This is your host Elliot lane. As always. We got our producer, Aaron Thomas powering this thing to success and Benzinga thank you for the platform. Welcome to product launch Thursday. I think every company in the industry launched a product this morning. We'll cover some of those, but we do have some big news to dive into first.Mississippi is on the board you off. I had an air horn. I blow it. If I had a drum roll, I would've played it before. But Mississippi governor has signed in to law, the medical cannabis bill for certain medical conditions Al it's. If I'm looking as an investor at this market, I get excited about companies that have dominated in other medical states, such as for.Hint, hint, maybe some truly TC in NF dives into this market. Maybe perhaps one of the smaller competitors like C N T M F both on the OTC, jumping into this market. There's several that you can look at. I would be surprised if a big MSO, like truly. Or cure leaf. Wasn't one of the first to jump in though.So congrats to Mississippi. Welcome to the party. Y'all I'm super glad to have ya. But yeah, it's good news. It's great news for the industry, especially when a Southern state like Mississippi, whom I would think would be one of the first to say that. Says, yes. All right, job. Moving on next leaf solutions.Let's give a round of applause to Paul Peterson and team over there. Oil F or O I L F on the OTC enters Ontario. They have made massive waves with their brand glacial gold. This has been hugely successful for them and they are pushing it to the Bram here. They are very Gung-ho and heads down on intellectual property.They have tons of patents internationally, I think 90 plus if I'm not mistaken. So obviously this is a company that's planning for the longterm. So keep an eye on O I L F I it's always been a watchlist. I think they are an up and comer and end of last year, they were one of the more successful licensed producers in Canada in terms of growth to their stock price.So do keep an eye on them. ACB Aurora cannabis obviously one of the most well-known names in the cannabis space launches a new CBD product. Here we are. We're into the product launches. Y'all this is through their subsidiary release. Or Arielle IVA kg seven hemp-based products. It looks like they have a CBD speed stick plus other things.So ACB continued to expand their product line as always another dominant player in the medical market, but not one that will inter Mississippi, anytime soon, obviously acreage holdings, AC R H F launches, a craft brand Superfly. Successfully in Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts per their press release this morning.And the first three months of the brand launch, they reached circa 100 retailers. They also expanded their vape products and introduced a new solventless gummy in key markets as well. High tide, taking a break from the product launches just for a second. Don't worry hit on the NASDAQ. Was delayed in filing audited, annual financial statements, analysis, management, discussing discussion et cetera.That was announced a few days ago. Raj, their CEO came out on Twitter to say that this was due to personnel issues and unexpected personnel issues. He did say Nokia. This will not happen in the future, they will be better prepared for anything of the sort. I think high tide is a wonderful company.This doesn't really slow my bullishness down for them CGC or canopy growth and other big name, especially in the Canadian market and internationally they're subsidiary ACE valley launches, new cannabis beverage products and CBD hard candy products. Exciting everybody over 70 CBD MD or why CBD on the NASDAQ launches a new functional gummy line and harvest health.The truth. Subsidiary RVO F has harvest TC internet of course is truly launched this new transdermal CBD cream last but not least. We're going to finish with some non product based news for all of our sakes. Raymond James analyst, Joseph out to Belo maintains a strong buy on Scotts Miracle-Gro S M G.However, he does lower the price target from 1 95 to 180 5. At the time of the recording of this podcast, they were around $141. If I'm looking at movers IPR has had a pretty interesting past day and a half. Hexo is on my watch list right now. Urban growth. Surprisingly is down. I think they have released some pretty amazing news, but also had a pretty interesting last day and a half in the markets winners for me today.I'm looking at O I L F or next leaf solutions. I am that's really my winner for the day and SMG. So those two SMG and oil F keep an eye on the markets. Y'all it's been interesting. Let us know what you think rate and review us today. BZ cannabis is launching a panel at four Eastern time live on our YouTube channel.If you listen to this after Thursday, the third, you can always go back to our YouTube and play it. But it will be a panel on what to expect from federal legalization in 2022, Brady cob, Tom Zoomer and Sarah, Tom Zuber, and Sarah Chase will be.
