Choice and convenience are two immutable drivers of consumer
behavior. Customer-centric brands like Amazon, Uber, and Airbnb have
trained consumers to expect this. But the cannabis industry is still

this dispensary-centric model is that 70 to 90% of the products
available to customers are private label. Add to this the lingering
stigma of cannabis and marketing constrained by IRS 280E, and we have an
industry that's expected to scale but can't get past servicing existing
walk-in customers. Read more

legal obligation to publicly disclose the sale price of a property,
regardless of its type. Read more
