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. Businesses that embrace AI will be well-positioned to succeed in the years to come. SUMMARY00:00 - Intro00:31 - AI & Banking intro01:48 - Jesse's experience w/ AI04:42 - News summaries using AI09:54 - Danielle's experience w/ AI13:24 - AI's banking implementation16:24 - AI's banking concerns21:07 - Will you use AI for personal banking?26:35 - AI tools for personal finance28:15 - The future of AI & cannabis banking00:00 - Outro Guests:Danielle Harden, Chief Operating Officer at Paybotic Financialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-harden-3109838/Paybotic Financial is a digital financial solutions provider specifically designed for cannabis-related businesses and their customers, delivering embedded financial solutions to increase revenue, reduce costs and streamline transaction processing. Jesse Redmond, Head of Cannabis at Water Tower Researchhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jesseredmondWater Tower Research is a leading equity research boutique providing in-depth analyses and market insights to institutional investors. Host:Josh Kincaid, Capital Markets Analyst & host of your cannabis business podcast.https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshkincaid/ Episode 1,166 of The #TalkingHedge...​Covering cannabis business news, interviews, events, finance, data, and more.https://www.theTalkingHedgepodcast.com Music Info:Song: Beat | Keep On | 2020Artist: Milochromatic Beats&Song: Dark Trap Beats Hard Rap Instrumental | Gang | 2018Artist: LuxrayBeats Keywords:News, Business, Pitch Deck, Investment Deck, Investing, Stocks, RoboAdvisor, Day Trading, Money, stock markket, crypto, futures, options, equities, This is only entertainment.

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.

Cannabis could bring Germany $5 billion a year. Legalizing cannabis could bring Germany annual tax revenues and cost savings of about 4.7 billion euros ($5.34 billion) and create 27,000 new jobs. Imports of medical cannabis flower into Germany hit record highs in Q4 of 2020, closing the year with a 37% year-on-year growth. As cannabis supply into Germany increases, so too does the competition for producers and wholesalers. Although the German medical cannabis market is at an early stage, it has shown great potential, and its future seems promising. However, it will take time to see how domestic production will affect imports, and how medical cannabis development in Germany will influence the growth of other European markets.

Cannabis could bring Germany $5 billion a year. Legalizing cannabis could bring Germany annual tax revenues and cost savings of about 4.7 billion euros ($5.34 billion) and create 27,000 new jobs. Imports of medical cannabis flower into Germany hit record highs in Q4 of 2020, closing the year with a 37% year-on-year growth. As cannabis supply into Germany increases, so too does the competition for producers and wholesalers. Although the German medical cannabis market is at an early stage, it has shown great potential, and its future seems promising. However, it will take time to see how domestic production will affect imports, and how medical cannabis development in Germany will influence the growth of other European markets.

When we look at market share trends over the last few years, we notice that market share of Pre-Rolls in Canadian markets is much higher than in US markets. Over the last year market share of Pre-Rolls in Canada had an average of 18.6%, while in the US, market share of Pre-Rolls was an average of 9.5%. When we look at market share by individual states and provinces, we see that Pre-Roll market share in Canadian provinces is much higher than in most US states, with Massachusetts as the one exception. Segment sales share of Pre-Rolls differ significantly between the US and Canada. For example, the second best-selling segment in US markets is the Connoisseur/Infused segment, which makes up 32.4% of sales. But within Canadian markets that same segment makes up only 0.1% of sales. The number of servings sold, or count of Pre-Rolls per package, is also quite different in the US and Canada. For example, Single Pre-Rolls (1 serving) made up 60% of sales in US markets, but they only made up 11% of sales within Canadian markets.
