This is an important post. How is it that an industry that relies on quality and consistency of supply considers that supply dead last when crafting regulations. Nurseries are the foundation of the entire supply chain.

Anyone headed to Niagara in January? I’m super tempted to make my way down, especially since seeing the iconic Ed Rosenthal will be speaking. I have been reading his books for years now and look up to his incredible advocacy. I sadly didn’t get the chance to attend NECANN or the SUNY ADK conference and am tempted to hear anyone’s thoughts about the SUNY conferences! Are they worth the drive and hotel expense for out of towners? Are the panels engaging and informative, even for individuals currently not holding licenses? Does anyone have a favorite part about the SUNY Cannabis Conferences? Let me know! ??????

What is the difference between medical cannabis and adult use? This is the million dollar question and we have tried to simplify the differences between adult use, medical cannabis and cannabinoid based pharmaceuticals in a table below. Its also worth noting that a Company's DNA (its, mission, vision, management qualification and culture) also shape the focus of the company. Avicanna as an example has always been committed to medical and pharma application. As such have focused on R&D, designed our products, services and objectives on improving patient outcomes and unmet medical needs. This distinction is likely to grow as the industry evolves, leading to tailored products and services catering specifically to medical versus adult use consumers. #AVCN #MedicalDNA #focus #patientsfirst

It is with great humility and heavy hearts that CFA has had to spend time, resources and treasure on this. That said, it is important to our members, cannabis farmers, farmers, and other stakeholders in this industry. https://lnkd.in/dJPqcttS

Big names going down, companies restructuring, an industry flailing. It's easy to blame over regulation, bureaucrats drunk with power nit picking over asinine details. That's actually true. From our perspective, however, another crucial component is still being largely ignored in the discourse and by the big players which is: Cannabis is a plant. The intricacies of the cannabis crop system are agricultural - not economic, not technological, not political (except, kind of right now). You look around and you'll see the cultivators still in it or still growing use standard agricultural practices of today with special attention to post-harvest. Super expensive systems using clones as starting material just can't compete with good old fashioned field grown crops. End-use being difficult/impossible to predict as the industry emerges from prohibition into a regulatory K-hole and soon, perhaps, into normalcy means betting the farm on AAA flower wasn't the call. That's why Adam and I wrote Cannabis Farming (https://lnkd.in/g5F67w44) to highlight systems that can produce high quality and quantity organically and cost effectively. The game is still shaking out. And many floral crops are grown in sophisticated greenhouse systems and cannabis will be no exception - in fact it may quickly become the rule. My message is that a focus on the fundamentals - the cannabis crop system - needs to be centered right now during industry upheaval. Everything everyone in this industry is out there doing right now - where does it start? What's the genesis of all of this? Seeds.
