Stock Market/Investing

Tell that to the militia that want to kidnap and execute elected officials, in Michigan, Virginia, and other places. Tell that to the boogaloos, Proud Boys, etc.

I can acknowledge that there are extremist idiots on both extremes, and they both suck ass. But your ilk chooses a blind eye toward your "Patriots" and wants further tribalism and divisiveness.

I'm not buying what this article is selling.

It is a commodity that a store sells.

We already have State/Regional marijuana chain stores.

We already have State/Regional growers.

We already have companies that produce weed products (vape) in pretty standard ways with standard packaging.

Literally once it is legal Federally, Walgreens could just decide to start stocking product and selling it.

Like any National chain they may sell regional products in addition to national ones, but I am not seeing how it is that weed couldn't be sold by a national chain once Federally they are allowed to do so.

And the notion that American Capitalists won't corporatize weed is just beyond naive.

The one point they made about transporting it across imaginary lines being an issue stand true until legalization. To think that you couldn't get fresh well cured cannabis distribution across the country is silly. We move all sorts of stuff that goes bad much quicker than cannabis across the country so people can purchase it fresh.

I think where the McDonald's bit would fall short is that cannabis is a plant and not every plant is exactly the same, even if they are identical genetics they don't always grow the same even under the same conditions. There would be some inherent, albeit minor, differences from batch to batch.

I think you could mass produce and ship/sell it easily. I just think you'd struggle with total uniformity.

Total uniformity is not at all a requirement.

We're talking about pot consumers.... think of it like bags of potato chips.... those are not at all uniform and no one gives a flying **** when they have the munchies lol.

I don't see anything about the pot business that would prevent it from being corporatized and sold out of uniform box store retailers.

I think though, kinda like beer, you'd still have the smaller shops.... you'd have like the mass produced weed that they try hard to keep as uniform as possible (Bud Light/Miller Lite) and then you'd have the smaller produced strains (craft beer), and then the home growers (home brewing).

Not sure if corporatization is a good thing for the pot industry, but the notion it couldn't be.... obviously once it is Federally legal.... is just weird to me.

It is especially weird because I buy from a chain.... it is a building with security that checks your ID, and staff that gather your products, put them in a bag, and then process your payment.

So I need a building with doors, check.

I need security that can verify IDs, check.

I need retail staff that can work a checkout counter, check.

I need secure storage and inventory system, check.

I need a website with online ordering.

And I need weed products organized on shelves for my staff to sell.

**** idk if we have shelves in all 50 States, that article might be right.

I agree that it can be easily corporatized, I was just referring to McDonalization, in terms of creating something that is exactly the same end product whether you go to one in Scranton or San Diego. I think that would be really hard with cannabis, but again as you pointed out I am not sure it matters so long as there are quality options consistently.

I also think a lot of cannabis users will still prefer to purchase locally from local growers. That still doesn't necessarily mean that it couldn't be sold in a corporatized environment while still being locally and responsibly produced.

exactly. We already have pot companies in the US. Cresco labs for example is a publicly traded company that sells pot in Illinois. There’s a bunch more that are sort of regional pot companies. Florida has Trulieve...there’s also green thumb and curaleaf. How tf do Canadian companies think they will have any chance in 4+ years when federal legalization happens?! They will be so far behind they will get crushed trying to operate in the US. I know CGC is partnered with constellation and Cronos is partnered with Altria already, but I think constellation and Altria are regretting those partnerships now. They’ll wish they just waited for US legalization...but, a company like Altria is clearly desperate judging by the cronos deal and the Vape deal with Juul. They are so desperate to pivot from cigarettes that they made bad deals

I really think that with such a large market there will be plenty of opportunity for Canadian cannabis companies, as well as small start up farm to store type of places.

The question for me is how far does it go? Is it like you can buy your smoke at any local convenience store like you can with cigs and beer or is it going to remain a dispensary only type of thing?

I hope however it goes that they at least allow a small amount of personal cultivation. I mean it is just another plant in the veggie garden for personal consumption and to share with friends, it isn't like most people are going to cultivate enough in small batches to do any harm to the commercial sales or tax revenue.

Home growing to me wouldn't be different from home brewing.

Do beer companies go out of business because every fucking 22-35 year old white dude with a buddy eventually decides to try brewing beer?

Nah.

Is every pot consumer going to suddenly have available garden, time, skill, and dedication to grow quality marijuana and kill the consumer market for pot?

Nah.

Lol nah.

I need to get the hell out of Indiana. We just made it legal to sell beer on Sundays like two years ago, let alone weed.

alot of major markets will already have companies imbedded into the community. It’ll be tough for Canadian companies to get in places like Chicago. Sure, they might be able to get in some states that have no legalization yet, but those are generally very small markets.

I imagine it’ll be only available at dispensaries. Kinda like how some states you can only get alcohol at a liquor store. Zoning will be a big reason for this

So Great Britain is using Palantir to help with their contact tracing....me thinks now that the Biden administration is taking over and since they will take the pandemic much more serious...the administration will look to those with experience in doing such things already. Would think palantir will have an advantage at getting a contract like that with the US.

I've never understood non-farmers whom choose to live in Iowa or Indiana.

I suppose at least Indiana has Indy or in NWI you are basically a Chicago suburb.

But Iowa? **** is in Iowa? Dubuque?

For 10 years I spent 3-4 days a week in Iowa for business in the Quad cities. People live there for the quality of life, zero traffic issues, lower cost of living. It's a better place to raise kids than in hell hole called Chicago. Schools are better. People are better human beings

They are very urban and many of them travel the world as it's a 40 minute commuter flight to O'Hare. Some of the smartest business people I know wrok there. Great golf courses. Mainstream bands play in the local arena

You remain a fucking moron

Yeah, I'm in NWI, but it's still trash. Other than the taxes though. Illinois kills in taxes.
