RE:RE:RE:MONDAYIt is highly challenging, Scotianbot. Tinley's is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of many others. I don't invest in WEED anymore, so I can't answer your question.
The question still remains about Type S. I agree that Type N would work for their own production, and have read a considerable amount of material to see if it covers copacking. After several hours of very dull reading, it remains a question mark.
I want to reiterate kudos to Tinley's for being able to work through the California red tape and produce a product. California's regs are wrapped in a whole pile of tape, which makes Canada look like a picnic. California is talking about reducing it, but it will take time, same as in Canada. The average regulatory amendment takes 3-5 years to change. A regulation with roller skates can make it through in a year, but there needs to be a highly pressing reason.
IMHO Tinley needs to sort through its imminent issues, which are not forever issues.
Companies entering the California market are faced with trying to get a license,and aside from jumping through all the hoops, there is a long list of companies in front of them and California has a massive log jam.
This means Tinley's presently has field advantage over the larger companies. It also means they should hurry up and get some shelf and fridge space.
