A note to kick off your week:
Saturday marked the 3-year anniversary of Business of Cannabis. In cannabis industry years, that’s like 20+ years ago. We are proud of where we’ve been – and are excited about what the future holds in 2021. Stay tuned to this space in the coming weeks to hear more about our plans for 2021…
The US celebrated Thanksgiving last week, making the week seem a little less hectic in the cannabis sector – but there was important news. Including Ontario reaching 250 cannabis store authorizations, a profitable Cannabis NB and a pretty big deal involving one (of many) cannabis SPACs (special purpose acquisition corporation).
As well, we have one last event coming up on December 10th: Cannabis Retail 2021 | A Look Ahead. Made possible in partnership with Torkin Manes LLP, the Official Law Firm of Business of Cannabis, this program promises to be impactful and one you won’t want to miss.
See the schedule and sign up today.
