Covid-19 and the Cannabis Industry
Manage episode 294571030 series 2928557
Every type of battle an industry can face has occurred in the cannabis industry. From insane taxes and regulations, to rampant corruption and shady business practices. However, NOTHING compares to the challenges Covid 19 poses.
The publicly traded cannabis industry ended 2019 with a capital crash. Now, thanks to Covid-19, cannabis has entered into yet another unknown territory. Early investors and small business owners are now finding themselves with very few options, leaving all of us to wonder - who will survive, who will sell out, and who will close permanently?
The philosopher, Heraclitus, comes to mind when describing the cannabis industry - “the only constant is change”.
There is one thing we can be sure of, our industry and our world will never be the same again.
