THE BIG IDEA

Hi all,

Thanks to all of you who made it to our first virtual event last week (details below.) It went very well and I’m excited to get started on the next one. Got any ideas on topics and people to include?  

Will you be at Benzinga in Chicago next week? Let me know if you’d like to meet.

More soon,

Alex

WHAT YOU MISSED IN WEEDWEEK CALIFORNIA PRO

Hirsh Jain on California’s retail geography

Those of you who follow California know one of the most frustrating things about the state market is the imbalance between where people live and where they can buy licensed weed. A handful of cities are oversaturated with pot shops, while much of the population lives in cannabis deserts served by the illegal market. 

But very few of us know the geography as well as Hirsh Jain of Ananda Strategy. Last week, for WeedWeek’s first virtual event, Hirsh gave a terrific presentation on California’s retail geography. Beyond an overview of where stores are and where they’re coming, he discussed how smart retailers have leveraged the map to their advantage

It’s an absolute must see for retailers, their partners and just about everyone else looking to better understand the world’s largest market. 

DON’T MISS IT.
