We’re fresh back from MJBiz and breaking down everything: the people we saw, the energy on the floor, standout moments, and yes—Jesse’s run-in with the “Angry” hot chicken.
Each of us shares the surprises that caught our attention this year, along with our biggest learnings from the conference. From there, we shift into a forward-looking conversation about 2026: what to expect, how the hemp ban reshapes TAM, why Curaleaf exiting the hemp category matters, and which opportunities emerge (like CBD + Medicare) as others fade.
We explore what the market might be missing—especially around enforcement, potential stays, capital flows, pricing, and state-level catalysts—and close with a conversation about what still excites us about working in this industry.
