The cannabis industry could undergo a transformative change in banking practices, thanks to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). AI-powered tools can help cannabis businesses to comply with regulations, improve their security, and access financial services. Embracing AI in the banking sector allows cannabis businesses to navigate financial challenges, propel growth, and establish themselves as key players in this evolving market. One of the most promising applications of AI in cannabis banking is the use of fraud detection. AI can be used to identify fraudulent transactions and prevent money laundering. AI can also be used to automate compliance checks, which can help businesses to save time and money.As the cannabis industry continues to grow, AI is likely to play an even greater role in banking. The use of AI in banking is still in its testing stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the industry.

Beyond the Regulations: The Possibilities and Pitfalls of an Unrestricted Cannabis Industry. According to the BDSA-Jefferies Cannabis Summit in June 2022, if cannabis regulations were not a factor, the global cannabis market could potentially reach $1 trillion by 2030. The report suggests that legalization and regulation of cannabis could have a positive impact on both the economy and public health, by reducing the black market, creating jobs, and generating tax revenue. The report also highlights that the use of cannabis for medical purposes has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, with research indicating that cannabinoids have therapeutic potential for a range of conditions, including chronic pain, epilepsy, and cancer. However, the report acknowledges that the industry still faces significant challenges, including regulatory hurdles, lack of access to banking services, and supply chain issues. The Green Rush is a cannabis business talk show produced by Pro Cannabis Media discussing news issues in the cannabis market and each week conducts a deeper dive into specific topics of the industry. Episode 1145 The #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/djP68QbbJIM

The impending lawsuits within the cannabis industry are likely to have far-reaching consequences, including increased scrutiny of industry practices and potential changes to regulatory frameworks. Innovative Industrial Properties (IIP), a cannabis-focused real estate investment trust (REIT), is facing a second lawsuit from investors who claim the company misled them about the risks associated with its business model. The investors allege that IIP misrepresented the quality of its tenant leases and the stability of its financial position, causing them to suffer financial losses. The lawsuit follows a similar complaint filed against IIP in December 2021 by a different group of investors. The legal action highlights the potential risks associated with investing in the cannabis industry, particularly for companies operating in the United States, where cannabis remains illegal at the federal level. The outcome of the lawsuits could have significant implications for IIP and other cannabis-focused REITs, as well as for investors considering entering the cannabis market. The Green Rush is a cannabis business talk show produced by Pro Cannabis Media discussing news issues in the cannabis market and each week conducts a deeper dive into specific topics of the industry. Episode 1142 The #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/PuxZ4gPmD60

The trend of new states adopting regulated cannabis laws is expected to continue, driven by increasing public support for legalization and the potential economic benefits of a legal cannabis market. A GOP lawmaker in Idaho has introduced a bill that would legalize medical cannabis in the state, but with significant restrictions. Under the proposed legislation, only a limited number of medical conditions would qualify for medical cannabis treatment, and patients would need to obtain a recommendation from a specialized physician. Additionally, the bill would prohibit smoking or vaping of medical cannabis and would only allow the use of oils, tinctures, and other non-inhalable forms of the drug. While the bill represents a significant step forward for medical cannabis in Idaho, it is likely to face opposition from some conservative lawmakers who remain opposed to any form of cannabis legalization. The Green Rush is a cannabis business talk show produced by Pro Cannabis Media discussing news issues in the cannabis market and each week conducts a deeper dive into specific topics of the industry. Show Notes:EMERGING MARKETSLawmaker Introduces Bill To Legalize Medical Cannabis In Idaho https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31512843/gop-lawmaker-introduces-bill-to-legalize-medical-cannabis-in-idaho-but-theres-a-catch Hosts:*Jimmy Young, founder PCMhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-young*Doug Miller, Dougie Fresh Pick$https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougiefreshpicks*Josh Kincaid, Capital Markets Analyst & host of your cannabis business podcast.https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshkincaid/ Episode 1140 The #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/zaBoDES5rgc

What you thought about federal taxes might be a fantasy. It seem that we've been told about taxes versus the reality is vastly different. Proponents of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) claim it has a HUGE problem- "how are you going to pay for that?" Printing money via QE to infinity with fiat currency is also a fantasy, while the myth establishes tax payers as "privileged." Printing fiat currency for revenue is actually obsolete, but it does serve a purpose. MMT is a political constructs, and isn't actually economically feasible. This manipulation provides for a limitless military budget while crippling social programs like healthcare and education. The reality, once in focus, seems to be more about taxes that are designed and perpetuated to protect the wealthy. Hit that thumbs up button & let us know what you think in the comments! Episode 1135 The #TalkingHedge with guest Simone Cimiluca-Radzins of the Cannabis Business Minds podcast...https://youtu.be/4ZKD6IA5xFo

The “Grand Canyon State” legalized adult-use sales just over two years ago, and though the Arizona market parallels other US markets in many ways, it has some notable exceptions. Category composition is consistent with other US markets, but the overall market has exhibited slower growth than most emerging markets, up only 2% since 2021. Pricing compression has also been less severe in AZ than in other US markets, with the EQ price of flower only dropping 13% from January to December 2022. Given the market's heavy verticalization, there has been significant brand consolidation (only second to Massachusetts), mostly driven by flower-producing ‘House Brand,' defined as any brand produced and sold by a retailer within the same retail chain. Episode 1133 The #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/WKYE7CiIRqc

The cannabis industry is still facing unique challenges when it comes to advertising and media coverage. With the industry being federally illegal, many mainstream media outlets are hesitant to cover cannabis-related news or feature cannabis businesses. This has led to a rise in cannabis-specific media outlets, but even they face challenges such as limited access to advertising channels and the constant threat of censorship on social media platforms. In this podcast, we explore the challenges facing cannabis media and how industry leaders are finding creative solutions to navigate these obstacles. The Green Rush is a cannabis business talk show produced by Pro Cannabis Media discussing news issues in the cannabis market and each week conducts a deeper dive into specific topics of the industry. This week we discuss: Media Guest:Kerri Accardi, Founder & CEO 420 Mediahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kerriaccardi/ Hosts:*Doug Miller, Maja Essentials Adult Wellness Cafe*Josh Kincaid, Capital Markets Analyst & host of your cannabis business podcast.https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshkincaid/ Episode 1,131 The #TalkingHedge...

There's been a trend of decreasing cannabis sales across all markets in North America. Sales growth is negative for most states and provinces, with Michigan being the outlier with a significant increase in sales growth. Despite the overall downward trend in sales growth, the YOY growth in Canada was above normal, however, same stores sales were down.
