People might have a "go to" product, but recreational will be a lifestyle and a culture. You don't buy one wine and drink it everyday, and also you don't buy booze once every five years Namaste are going to distribute MJ to people who will be buying it with the same regularity that people buy alcohol. People will want different strains the way people want different wines. It needs to be in one store, and it's going to be online not some outdated storefront. You won't want to deal with scrubs in line where there is one or two store clerks in a crowded space and then find out they're out of stock of 3 out of the 4 strains you want. You won't just buy from Aphria or Canopy alone, it's too piecemeal. There will also be fence sitters who still have mental handups despite legalization and won't want to be seen in store buying MJ. They will be buying online. And once you start using a channel and it works, its habit forming, the way once you start using Uber you use it all the time. The future is not storefront, the future is ecommerce and data analytics. Some people just have a hard time visualizing this but industries know this. It's not just the future of MJ, it's the future of most industries period. Namaste management know exactly what they're doing and they have dominance on a global scale. The stock is slow now but they're going through a ramping up period. Think of the future - this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in at this level.
Good post!! Just to give you an exemple I buy all of my proteins (bars, shakes etc.) from a company online even tho I have a popeye's store within a few blocks from my house. I like shopping online and having it delivered to my door steps from a company im used to buying and have great service from.
Namaste will be the same for me.
