Emerging Markets are a really exciting opportunity here in the United States and we imagine the same in Canada. In just the last few years of legal cannabis, we’ve seen the growth in our industry to the point where MSOs are now stepping up and out and expanding into new states. This kind of move is a great sign for our industry overall, but it isn’t as easy as it sounds. So, we imagine being a large cannabis company that’s well established in a single state, like California or Colorado, for example, getting to the point where you’re ready to bring your product to a new state like Massachusetts. New York in particular right now is still sorting out their regulations. We dive into what the process is like for an operator, as well as what they should know in order to set themselves up for success.
