Firstly, Germany gets more than 4x as many tourists as Nevada, and the majority of Vegas tourists are Canadian who likely aren't prioritizing cannabis anymore. Secondly, you can be prescribed medical cannabis for something as minor as bad headaches in Germany. Look what was happening in Canada before recreational legalization; it was easier to get cannabis medically prescribed than it was to find a dealer, and it was (and still is) very easy to find a dealer. Thirdly, margins appear very healthy in Germany based on the limited details of the that Pharmadrug deal.

The way I see it it's an opportunity to pick up a Calyx-equivalent in Germany, except the first-mover advantage in Germany is way more clear than it was for California.

Germany is medical cannabis only.  80 million Germans don't all have glaucoma.  Germany has about just less than 2x the population as Nevada racks up in tourists in  year.  Pot is a perfect fit in Nevada be cause people will make pot part of their trip. Margins in Nevada are awesome for cannabis right now, far from saturated.

The costs are sunk, the buyout is all but certain.  You've got classic cold feet!

Would you not rather see them continue the distribution game in Europe with Pharmadrug? For a fraction of the cost? That has some major first mover advantage in a potentially huge market as legalization unfolds, compared to Nevada which clearly has a backlog of applications/acquisitions or it wouldn't take this long to get approvals.

mrmonopoly wrote: Yes that may be true... but they've been telling investors "any day now" since August. They shouldn't be making claims/promises that they have no control over. EAT has more at stake than the state does and it just looks bad now, especially since they have some history of pulling out of deals.
