@betsykosheff This is hilariously false. I am on spring break and all the families with me have reduced alcohol consumption by 50% at a minimum in the past year alone. Lot of gummies, infused drinks, smiles and early happy mornings with the kids.
This is wildly misleading. The regulated cannabis market won’t even let a minor through the front door. IDs are checked multiple times, every sale is tracked, and dispensaries are more heavily regulated than bars and liquor stores.
If teens are accessing “weed” more easily, look at the synthetic hemp products being sold at gas stations with zero age verification thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. That’s not the regulated cannabis industry. That’s the unregulated market the government created by refusing to regulate hemp properly.
Don’t blame the regulated legal cannabis for a problem caused by the lack of regulation everywhere else.
@stefan_katanic This hits home. Spent four years building the business and turning it over to those that have more experience is not only tough, but confusing. Last 12 months I have brought in fractional c suite to help me transition. Lonely is an understatement in an emerging industry.
