investing in cannabis

Consumers and investors alike have begun rallying around the U.S. cannabis industry, and several top multi-state operators are stepping into the spotlight. In this episode, we talk to Jonathan Rubin from Phyto Partners about the driving forces behind the U.S. market’s exponential growth, as well as difficult lessons investors and business leaders learned from Canada’s adult-use rollout. Jonathan also shares his insights about the future of ancillary businesses and the most compelling investment opportunities that are on his team’s radar.

The past year has awakened the sleeping giant that is Michigan’s retail market. Adult-use sales jumped by over 280% in 2020, making the Wolverine State one of the top markets in the country. Gage Cannabis Co., one of the fastest growing operators in the industry, not only recognized the long-term potential of the state early on but was also able to anticipate the enormous demand for cannabis when adult-use sales came online. In this episode, company President Fabian Monaco shares why Michigan’s recreational rollout has been so successful, how Gage has been able to keep customers engaged through their product offerings and what the company’s upcoming IPO will mean for investors and consumers alike.
