Big Tobacco knows cigarettes are dead.They're sitting on cash, looking for growth — and cannabis is the obvious move.They're no longer silently watching from the sidelines. They're investing, expanding — some through public acquisitions, others through quieter plays. But one thing is clear: it's no secret anymore. Big Tobacco is here, leveraging its resources to capture market share quickly, while cannabis companies continue to struggle.And on the other side of the coin? The global unlock continues.With U.S. operators mostly stuck within national borders, Canadian companies are finally getting the green light to activate dormant facilities and feed growing EU demand. Companies like Curaleaf are thriving in the international arena — and it's just getting started.This week, we sit down with global cannabis strategist Deepak Anand to break down:Tobacco's positioning — and what they're likely eyeing nextWhich U.S. companies Deepak expects to head overseasWhich international markets are heating up nextChapters00:00 Introduction to the Cannabis Landscape03:05 Deepak's Journey into Cannabis Consulting06:11 Understanding CPG Companies' Entry into Cannabis08:58 Market Dynamics and Regulatory Challenges11:48 Consolidation Trends in the Cannabis Industry15:09 The Booming German Cannabis Market18:06 International Expansion and MSO Strategies21:02 Future Outlook for Cannabis Companies26:23 Emerging Opportunities in the Australian Cannabis Market29:12 Navigating Regulatory Challenges in International Markets30:51 The Evolving Landscape of Recreational Cannabis34:05 Strategic Moves by Tobacco Companies in Cannabis36:35 Crafting Tailored Strategies for Cannabis Clients40:00 International Perspectives on U.S. Cannabis Policies42:26 Insights from the GCRS Event in Washington, DCGuest Links:https://x.com/_deepakanandhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ananddeepaks/About Deepak Anand Advisory Board Member at CB Company, MJBiz, Lift Events & Experiences, ASTM International, Cannabinoid Research & Development Global (CRDG) Network; Cannabis Industry Management Advisor at ASDA Consultancy Services; Vice Chairman Of The Board at Medical Cannabis Canada; Strategic Advisor at CanMar; Adjunct Instructor at Osgoode Professional DevelopmentOur 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 has a New Website.

Send us a textHere is another interview from Mjbiz Conference in Las Vegas. Everyone has their reasons for why they attend the conference. I go because it allows me to speak in person with people I would not usually get to talk with. This year was no exception. Days before I headed to the airport, I got a text message asking, “Would you want to speak with Ricky Williams?” The answer was yes! I've been waiting to interview Williams for some time now. Most people know his story. A Heisman Trophy winner, Williams would be selected #5 by the New Orleans Saints in the 1999 N.F.L. draft. Over his career, Williams would play for the Saints, Miami Dolphins, and Baltimore Ravens before he made a decision that would change his career and help shift the narrative of cannabis use by professional athletes. While in Las Vegas, Ricky sat down to speak about his first time consuming, getting into the business, the resurgence of the running back position in the N.F.L., and whether he's considered returning to the league.This episode was sponsored by JM Balbuena and her books "The Successful Cannapenuer" and "Green Rennisance" Get both books at jmbalbuena.comSupport the showPresident and co-founder of LOCKGREEN Sarah Kiah Morton sat down with us to discuss how the idea of LOCKGREEN came to life, how this business is a family affair, and more.

I want to thank my very last Here Weed Go! (At least when it comes to the Arizona Daily Star edition) guest Sean Williams for coming onto the show. Read his story Purple Haze in Harper's Magazine too! We actually spent most of October and the beginning of November trying to figure out how to make our interview work, because Sean lives full-time down in Australia, and of course, on top of walking around upside down, the Aussies are like 18 hours ahead in the future, or something like that. But it was great to finally get to sit down and talk with Sean, and hear about what it takes to really get into reporting there, on the spot, on the scene. Not to make a direct comparison to what Sean does, because he has to travel to far away lands into literal war zones or occupied territories, but I'll be doing a lot of on the spot reporting in my new job. To start, beginning on January 16, I'll begin my new broadcast television career as a multimedia reporter for KGUN9 here in Tucson. That means pre-recorded stories and live-on-camera look-ins for me. I'll be making my living off the evening news, as Don Henley might say. So, if you live in the Tucson area and have cable television, you'll actually be seeing a lot more of me. It just won't be all weed, all the time. And I am OK with that. But I will miss this job, this role, forever. There won't be a day that I won't have some memory of this magical one year and eight months jogged.  My move to TV of course means that, as of 11:01 p.m. on January 11, 2024 I am no longer an employee of Lee Enterprises or the Arizona Daily Star, and thus no longer the host of Here Weed Go! and curator of TucsonMarijuanaGuide.com. At least, for now, anyways. While the name "Here Weed Go!" and all the episodes, content and stories I created under that name will forever be the property of Lee Enterprises, I haven't completely closed the door to producing, hosting, editing and distributing an interview-based podcast focused on the cannabis industry on my own. In fact, I have a few episodes saved I will eventually release, perhaps here under the Here Weed Go! banner or under a new, spiritually related banner. When I'm ready to establish that new show back in the cannabis space, you'll know about it. Especially if you follow me on Instagram at @ReporterEddieTravels. In the meantime, for the next few months, I just need to commit myself to some other moving parts in my new role on television, reporting live and making mini-news-documentaries 3-to-5 nights a week before taking on the podcast mantle again, though I love it dearly. But to all my friends out there in the Tucson and Phoenix cannabis community, don't worry: I'll still be out at all the AZCannafriends events and vendor fairs that I can, and I will still be looking for a great story to let Tucson know about. Before I close this out, I want to give a shout out to a few people, the ones who really made this crazy experiment possible. To my mother (and first real guest!), Samantha Longenbaugh, thank you so much for always being a fan of the show and everything I do. There were many phone calls you told me to keep my head up and spirit high, and they all paid off with, what is up to now, the best job I've ever had. And you were the best guest I ever ended up interviewing. To Yvanna Cancela, I owe you so much for introducing me to the Las Vegas cannabis community before MJBiz in 2022. You were the first person to really give me the idea to mix my weed and travel stories, and I will forever be grateful for that. To Chris Law and Pascal Albright, your efforts to edit my rambling question/answer sessions into coherent, cogent interviews will always be appreciated. Especially now that I do all that editing of said rambling myself! The industry is small, so here's to working together again sometime in the future. And finally, my biggest thanks are reserved for my former editor-in-chief and biggest professional advocate: Jill Jorden Spitz. Jill, thank you so damn much for taking a chance on cannabis content here at The Star, and thank you so much for taking a chance on me. Before I somehow stumbled into what I once called "The Best Job in The World," I was working the breaking news beat, the very same beat I'll be leaving Thursday. I had pitched an idea for a pot podcast earlier, but word about development on such a project seemed to have stalled. Dissatisfied with the role at The Star, I pursued an offer to become a business reporter in Austin, Texas, and was deciding between staying or leaving. A few hours after being offered the job in Texas, Jill called me to let me know she had approval from corporate to run with the podcast idea. It was all a go, if I wanted it. Although the pay in Austin would have been higher, and the nightlife more my speed, I knew what my answer was going to be. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to cover cannabis becoming legal in my home sate. It was going to be the best job in the world. And it was. "We're gonna change the world," I told her. I hope, with this crazy project of mine, I at least changed your world in some way. If I did, or you want to hear what I'm up to in my new job, you can email me at epcelaya@gmail.com    And don't forget, keep smoking and proving them wrong.

The announcement states: This action is the first time the FDA has issued warning letters for products containing delta-8 THC. Delta-8 THC has psychoactive and intoxicating effects and may be dangerous to consumers. The FDA has received reports of adverse events experienced by patients who have consumed these products. We talk about the pressure that this may put on states with or without a cannabis control board to outlaw the sales of Delta 8. From the MJBiz from an article that spoke about Delta 8 debate: In the effort to legalize and regulate hemp-derived CBD, the 2018 Farm Bill stated that any cannabinoid derived from hemp—defined as cannabis containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC—was a legal product.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/blunt-business1131/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The new event was talk of the town and created a more intimate, focused environment that was refreshing after the madness and party that MJBiz and Hall of Flowers have become.

The conference will bring together brands, retailers, and investors, as well as an unprecedented level of diversity for a business conference. George and I also discuss what makes a good brand, illicit market, dtc, beverages, and why virtual events suck so much. Join George, myself, and many more May 18th-20th in NYC. https://mjunpacked.com/

Katie Stem's journey to a career in cannabis started with traditional Western medicine studies in college. That path took a left turn, however, when she was introduced to natural remedies while researching at Oregon Heath & Science University. She switched gears and completed a master's degree in Chinese medicine instead. She decided to ply her entrepreneurial skills and medicinal expertise to launch Peak Extracts. Katie's expertise, however, didn't shield her from sexism and homophobia in the cannabis industry, nor the challenges of Oregon's saturated market. Katie positioned Peak to thrive by: Intelligently introducing automation into her extraction facility. Recognizing and creatively maneuvering around barriers that others tried to place in front of her. Operating leanly in a saturated marketplace. Taking a hands-on approach to bringing innovative products to market. Who is Katie Stem? Katie Stem is the co-founder and CEO of Peak Extracts, a Portland, Oregon-based company that manufactures vape cartridges, edibles, tinctures and topicals. The Washington state native was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in the early 2000s, which led her to use cannabis as a personal treatment and become her own test subject for developing strain-specific products.

When wildfires struck Northern California a few years ago, much of Erin Gore's life literally went up in smoke. The CEO of the Garden Society, a vertically integrated craft cannabis company in Sonoma County, came dangerously close to taking a finance deal that could have led to professional and financial disaster. But an astute and supportive business coach suggested another path for Erin, and today the Garden Society is on the cusp of going multistate. In this episode of “Seed to CEO,” Erin shares: How her experience in winemaking helped her navigate the cannabis industry – and how it didn't. Why turning away money with the wrong terms can be a boon for your business. Why saying “no” is a critical skill for executives – and how to hold yourself accountable for it. Why you can't be afraid to fire someone who isn't doing your company right. Who is Erin Gore? Erin Gore began using cannabis to deal with pain earned from a college basketball career at the University of Wisconsin. Before long, however, she was baking edibles and hosting marijuana parties for her girlfriends. Her professional career includes 10 years at Henkel, an international adhesives company, where she became the first woman to lead a business unit at the company, all while moonlighting as the co-founder of her husband's successful wine business. Erin left Henkel to launch the Garden Society in 2016. Since then, she's also become a passionate advocate and ambassador for women. In 2021, she was a winner of the North Bay Business Journal's Women in Business awards.
