Well, it’s summer. (Albeit a summer with very little travel, righteous social unrest and a pandemic.)

The cannabis industry continues to move forward, including the ramp up of cannabis retail throughout Canada. Join us at 10 a.m. today for our weekly feature with CannDelta, the Official Regulatory Advisory of Business of Cannabis to talk more about the expansion of retail in the Ask the Experts segment.

Last week, we talked edibles with Indiva’s CEO. If you missed that Lunch+Learn, fear not – it’s right here.

And coming up on the events front: tonight Cannabis Forward goes (virtually) to Alberta to talk cannabis supply chain and Friday, we have our 3rd in a series of events focused on creating an omnichannel cannabis retail operation with Robbie Madan of ALCANNA. Join us for both of these events.

There was some news last week, so…
