New Report on the forthcoming effects of Legalization

John Kagia works at New Frontier Data as the Chief Knowledge Officer.  They have a new report on cannabis and the pharmaceutical industry, and the destruction cannabis is bound to cause.  (You can view a copy of that report at: https://newfrontierdata.com/analyst-reports/ ).  The report covers the expansion of the legalization on a state basis for both medical and recreational marijuana, what that means to consumers.  The report also analyzes the effects of possibly forthcoming federal decriminalization.   Cannabis products could ‘cannibalize’ convention products currently in use by competing with them, or replacing some altogether.   Decriminalization would likely allow commerce between states and even shipments outside of our borders.  This will inevitably bring reductions in the prices of cannabis.  Amid all of this, pharmaceutical companies themselves would be prone to venture into growing and marketing marijuana themselves.  Hear all the details in this insightful interview that might foretell our near future.

What Legalization Means to States

John Kagia works at New Frontier Data as the Chief Knowledge Officer.   For this interview he calls in from Africa to talk about recent ballot issues on cannabis.  We had an historic election and consequential election for cannabis.  Legalizing states had medical initiatives and approval for recreational use on the ballots that passed by comfortable vote counts.  New Jersey announced that it may approve adult use in as little as 30 days after passage and its market will become dramatically larger.   Since the COVID pandemic has crunched economies across the nation, additional revenues that legalization will bring will be a welcome relief to some states.  As more states approve the use of marijuana, more states are likely to follow.

Cultivation Tips: What You Don’t Know

Ryan Douglas authored ‘From Seeds to Success: How to Launch a Great Cannabis Cultivation Business in Record Time.’ This revealing work shows how the business model for cannabis dispensaries has changed.

Educated consumers are now researching product on their own without turning to dispensaries to help them make up their mind. Mr. Ryan points out that there is a plethora of literature on how to grow cannabis, but very little to nothing that spoke to any industry on how to lay down a clear path for planning and launching cannabis cultivation. His book provides a step by step method for researching, planning, raising funds, designing, launching and expanding a successful cultivation business with a goal of coming to market as quickly as possible.

Investing in Cannabis Equity

Michael J. Regan is a generalist equity analyst for consumer durables & cyclicals, industrials, chemicals, aerospace, media, telecom, tech, and REITs.  Shortly after a cannabis boom in the market, we found that cannabis had not done as well as the broader market indexes.  Now the market is changing again.  That leaves, the question, if cannabis is not in one’s portfolio, where should one be buying?   Mr. Regan explains why the US operators are more attractive than the Canadian operators at this point.  New investors tend to lump the entire traded sector into one, but cannabis in general has sub-markets.  This and other observations bring light to things that investors often do not discover until after they are in the market.  Listen in!  Certainly, we need to maintain our state of being psychologically.  Mr. Regan addresses these issues point by point.  What can you do for yourself and your children?  Even more important than this is – what should we do for our physical health?  Easy to overlook basics are ever more important now.  Listen to a good doseof common sense mixed with detailed research as you contemplate your defense and wellbeing in the days ahead.

Federal Declassification Laws – What’s Happening There?

Morgan Fox is the Media Relations Director for the National Cannabis Industry Association.  As such, he has his finger on the pulse of what’s happening with proposed and pending legislation regarding cannabis.  Rapid change is in the works for declassifying cannabis at the federal law.  Cannabis is still a ‘Schedule 1’ drug under federal law which makes violation a serious charge.  Conflicting with that standing law is the fact that so many states have legalized medical and even recreational use of marijuana.  The new administration seems favorable toward changing this, and it has a like-party Congress that could back up any move in that direction and new bills are on the way.  Mr. Fox brings us the latest on what is happening in these exciting potential changes in our near future.
