The regulated cannabis market continues to be both dynamic and profitable as the increasing pace of industry consolidation and an influx of outside capital demonstrates. However, operators need a clear and complete understanding of the current and future direction of regulatory policy, as well as strategies to deal with currently problematic issues such as public health concerns around vaping and competition from illegal-market cannabis.

- Procuring Capital for Cannabis Businesses
