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 analogies

    The discussion around how data in the cannabis industry often causes more confusion than clarity when placed in the wrong hands. The analogy of a miscalibrated compass perfectly captures what I’ve seen over my entrepreneurial career:

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Ohio Cannabis Is Built Different: Inside the Regulator-Operator Alignment That's Actually Working ft. Caroline Henry
Q: Do you see opportunities to replicate Ohio's model in other states or is it truly an Ohio-only strategy?
There are opportunities to replicate the model elsewhere, but leadership and local regulatory structures vary; the key is expert teams focused on state-specific rules and adaptable playbooks rather than trying to transplant the entire model.
Why Ohio Cannabis Is Built Different: Inside the Regulator-Operator Alignment That's Actually Working ft. Caroline Henry
Q: Is there a specific example that comes to mind when you're telling that story?
A concrete example is removing impractical barriers like man traps in dispensaries and working with regulators to adjust rules that slow operations, achieving smoother daily functioning while maintaining safety.
Why Ohio Cannabis Is Built Different: Inside the Regulator-Operator Alignment That's Actually Working ft. Caroline Henry
Q: Can you explain what that means though? Just real quick, like what does kicking off adult use under medical mean?
Adult-use consumers can purchase under medical rules and products, with medical purchase limits and product categories, but they are treated as adult-use customers in dispensaries, enabling faster access while rules are still being refined.
Cannabis Was Medicine. Now the Proof Is Catching Up, ft. Joel Stanley and Dr. Marcel Bonn-Miller
Q: So AJNA-001 is what exactly, and where are we today with it?
AJNA-001 is the first drug in the pipeline targeting autism spectrum disorder with a high-CBD, lower-THC, full-spectrum botanical profile, standardized from Charlotte's Web materials, and moving toward phase two readiness with a partnership including Charlotte's Web and BAT.
Joe Lustberg: What Cannabis Lenders See That Operators Miss
Q: Joe, you have financed operators for years, and now you're fighting to open your own dispensary in New York. How has being inside the fight changed your perspective on risk?
Being inside the fight has sharpened my empathy for operators and underscored the need for burn capital, real estate leverage, and a strong network of lenders. It also highlighted that local regulatory battles and zoning can dramatically affect timelines and cash burn, so readiness and capital resilience are critical.
