Guest: Rosa Saba, business reporter The future of cannabis retail is headed for a reckoning that could see a third of stores across the country close. Once thought to be a product that would be a license to print money, the retail cannabis space is dealing with a number of issues including steep competition, oversaturation in some markets and distribution issues while still having to contend with the illegal market. With more consolidation expected, experts are predicting a wave of closures for the cannabis industry. This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar.

In-depth interviews with State Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti, and retiring State Rep. Jesse Johnson. The State Treasurer is pressing Congress to pass new banking laws that would help prevent robberies at cannabis stores. And, he wants the state to provide "baby bonds" to children from low-income and marginalized communities. Rep. Jesse Johnson is stepping down for family reasons after three years in the state House of Representatives, years in which he played a key role in enacting changes to policing laws. He discusses his decision to step down, and possible future plans.

Guest: Jennifer Pagliaro, City Hall reporter for the Star It's been three years since cannabis was legalized in Canada, and you can see the results on many streets around the GTA. In Ontario, there are now just over 1,000 cannabis stores. Toronto has over 300 alone, with another 200 in the process of getting approval. The issue is that many of them are in neighbourhoods and often right next each other, creating clusters that are in direct competition with each other. With little or no regulations about distancing between stores, and several structural issues within the province's regulations for cannabis sales, the really big question is whether all these stores can survive or if the weed boom will go up in smoke.

There has been wide spread discussion about whether recreational pot shops, gun stores, and churches are considered "essential" places of operation or business. VB wants to hear your take on what should be considered essential. Gov. Baker explained in a press conference yesterday why pot shops are not being considered essential. Hear more here from the Governor as well as callers, here.
