December Edition

Greetings and salutations, cannabis enthusiasts!

This month, I weigh in on the state of Ohio cannabis and what the big fuss is all about.

Also, we announce our 2024 Excellence in Human Capital Services honorees.

We have had the pleasure of meeting many partners in the HR space, and we would like to highlight those companies doing it right.

As the year comes to a close, take some time to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the past year and get ready to do it all again (hopefully better) in 2024.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

?I want to refer to Ohio as the Big Fuss. I’ve been sitting on that title for a minute, and I’m thrilled I found a placeholder. What is unfolding in that market right now, as a designated point of growth and trajectory for the general market, shouldn’t be understated.

But first, let me start this next excerpt with my own personal guilt trip: I wrote this after so much preexisting commentary had already come out! I know! It’s mid-December as I sit in front of this blinking cursor and put down on paper what has already been written and disseminated widely about the Ohio cannabis market. However, I am still confused about the status of the market because it should be done but isn't. So, I’ll weigh in.
