RE:RE:BS The market for manufacturing equipment will be larger than you think. You're looking at the wrong market.
The FDA has just submitted their recommendations for a nationally regulated CBD product market. Nextleaf's IP is useful for both THC and CBD, cannabis or hemp. GMP standards are expected to be included in the rule set. The CBD market was always the immediate growth pathway internationally and it's in that market where large CPG like Nestle, Pepsi Co, and Unilever hang out. Once the rules are announced the real money can enter. The current hemp CBD industry mainly uses CO2 extraction equipment.
This will happen within a matter of weeks.

Cannabis wise the OCS is finally opening a second larger warehouse to accomodate the expanding store count. Ontario currently opens 5 new stores a week, but it was announced previously they would be increasing that number around September once supply chain issues could be fixed. The warehouse is that fix. The OCS no longer buys products packaged older than 3 months, so SKU's need to stay fresh. Processing will always be needed even within the current glut. The OCS will also be making large purchases to initially stock the warehouse.

The winds are blowing in the right direction.
