I was imagininga firesale merger between TNY, Blaze, JSDA, and BEV which could be a formidable player on the Pacific Coast of NA.
I beleive of those mentioned that Blaze has had the most success and would be the right candidate for leadership of the conglomeration.
If they pulled all of that together they might catch the eye of Canopy Growth and STZ with Canopy being the cannabinoid contributor and STZ could bring their beverage know-how.
Canopy has a 300k sq ft facility in New York, in waiting and with intention. I beleive that there is going to be a bottling facility in that facility to supply cannabinoid beverages for the East Coast.
In the US for sure, cannabinoid infused beverages haven't yet achieved free enterprise and access to all of the monetary tools that every other US business is priviliged to use.
Cannabinoids for cash is so..................Cartel'ish and doesn't make sense that the legal intentioned players are doing business with cash and I guess, bitcoin.
US law and policy makers in regards to all things marijuana is operating dysfunctionally and out of fear.
I am convinced that the high stakes players of Cartels and Gangs is influencing the people charged with legalizing marijuana for rec use to the point that they are paralyzed despite the will of the voters, who have the numbers.
It isn't going to be easy but Pharma and value added skus would be a segway in my mind that the underground won't bother with.
Tinley nailed it with the concept of beverages, but too soon imho. Canopy was moving hard on beverage skus being one of their big skus and when STZ, a leading US alcohol distributor got on board, it seems that they felt they had to respond to their anticipated marketshare loss to cannabinoid infused beverages.
Interestingly, others seemed to back burner their intentions of being participants in cannabinoid infused beverages, although there was lots of interest at one time.
Two LPs and Tinley seem to have stayed the course with cannabinoid infused beverages although rumours of mothballing that Canopy bottling plant in Toronto seems desperate.
Maybe STZ is going to pull that bottling line and set it up in that New York facility to satisfy a more accepting marketplace.
The attrition could happen very quickly now that we are seeing some increases in failing companies.
It has to happen to rebalance supply and demand and until that is achieved or we get momentous and progressive bills passed in the US that incororate what the invested lobbyists are telling law and policy makers, it is going to be fugly!
