Most cannabis companies won't survive the next three years. The ones that do will have better capital discipline, sharper regulatory reads, and operational frameworks built for compression, not growth. The Dime is where cannabis operators, executives, and investors hear directly from the CEOs and founders making those decisions right now: MSO strategy, state-by-state market dynamics, cultivation a... more

  • Great Conversations around the Future of Cannabis

    I love how the dime speaks not just on the cannabis industry but is also speaking directly to the folks who are on the front line.

    Hearing from beverage manufacturers from the hemp side and as well as folks who are on the front line of the regulated market gives such an interesting preceptive the view points clash but you can see how each market independently operates.Bravo.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ed Rosenthal and Greg Baughman: You're Still Growing Cannabis Wrong
Q: What are the practical payback and implementation considerations for a large-scale operator considering CryoCure?
The payback is achievable — about 14 runs on the largest machine in typical Michigan pounds pricing — and the system scales with the same core recipe and data handling, making deployment feasible for GMP-aligned facilities.
Ed Rosenthal and Greg Baughman: You're Still Growing Cannabis Wrong
Q: What makes CryoCure uniquely better than traditional drying, and how does it translate to consumer experience and shelf life?
CryoCure preserves terpenes and maintains a higher moisture stability, resulting in brighter appearance, richer aroma, and stronger flavor profiles, while enabling longer shelf life and fewer mold issues, which justifies premium pricing for knowledgeable buyers.
Ed Rosenthal and Greg Baughman: You're Still Growing Cannabis Wrong
Q: Greg, do you think that teams need crises and problems in order to elicit the type of change or re-evaluation from an internal process?
No, crises are not a prerequisite; some operators are already dealing with financial pressure and will pursue efficiencies and technology to improve, especially if the improvements clearly reduce costs or improve product quality.
15 Years of Cannabis Trading . Why I'll Sell Early (Unless This Happens) ft. Dan McDermitt
Q: What question do you wish more people asked you?
I wish people asked about the multi-decade approach to markets, acknowledging that what you learn now will benefit you years from now, and focusing less on quick profits and more on durable skills and risk management.
Cannabis Beverages Are Bringing New Consumers Into Cannabis ft Kristin & Eric Rogers
Q: Kristin, why are brand expansion and multi-state presence not the sole indicators of success in cannabis beverages?
Kristin explains that each state has its own regulatory framework and consumer access, so success should be measured by consistent, product-specific performance, including dosing accuracy, consumer trust, and the ability to maintain a coherent brand experience across markets, rather than merely counting states.
