A report by CNBC quotes MedMen CEO and co-founder Adam Bierman, who explains the current state
of the industry, "There is so much excitement now around legalization nationally coming in Canada. There is so much excitement about the fact that California,
Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts all legalized recreational marijuana… The Canadian public markets offer access to a lot of
capital, with a lot of certainty and a lot of speed, and there is this appetite among global investors to invest in a U.S. play.
Specifically, global investors want to invest in a U.S. play that has California exposure. Now
is the time where it makes the most sense."
