When vape carts and vape pens first hit the scene, most were either filled with lackluster distillate that delivered a less than lackluster high, or some allowed users to load in their own hash or wax which, of course, became a customer service nightmare. As cannabis vaporizer hardware has evolved, so too has the art of cannabis extraction and hash crafting making top shelf, terp heavy hash and user friendly, effective, and reliable vape carts, pods, batteries, and other associated hardware available to the masses in regulated markets across the country and around the world for the first time in human history. In impressively large and organically growing numbers, new cannabis consumers, seasoned heads, and everyone in between are trying and liking today’s cannabis vaping experience. With this brief breakdown we think that we can help a few more people find their own path to cannabis bliss by familiarizing folks with this form of consumption. Continued at the link below.

We post this because it should be our responsibility to let our members know about this issue - their health and safety come first. : Buyer Alert This is a blockbuster, and honestly frightening, LA Times article on pesticides in cannabis products. If you purchase vapes anywhere, including SPARC, you may want to steer clear of the Stiiizy brand of cartridge. Although the sample I purchased had a different batch number from the product noted in the LA Times article, many in the industry would suggest erring on the side of caution and steering clear of any of the products of any of the brands mentioned. There is a batch of Stiiizy vapes out there reported to contain an insecticide known to cause liver cancer and to mimic human hormones, part of a chemical class known as endocrine disruptors, which over time cause reproductive disorders. “A pink acai vape from Stiiizy, the state’s top-selling cannabis brand, carried more than 60 times the maximum amount of pymetrozine allowed by federal regulators in cigarettes. But because California does not require testing for pymetrozine, the company that makes Stiiizy products said it is not in violation of state regulation.” The LA Times article: https://lat.ms/3W57mpi

In the evolving landscape of the cannabis industry, Native American tribes in the United States have emerged as significant players. Over the past year, Native American cannabis businesses have experienced substantial growth, asserting their sovereignty and tapping into the emerging market. The past year has been pivotal for tribally owned cannabis businesses. According to MJBizDaily, as of May 2024, there are 57 tribally owned medical marijuana dispensaries and adult-use stores across nine states. This impressive expansion represents a 25% increase from the previous year. These stores are spread across various states, including California, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Washington.

The California cannabis industry has faced a challenging 2024, with six consecutive months of year-over-year decline 📉. However, there’s a bright spot: the Beverage category! It’s defying the trend with a six-month winning streak 📈.

Now is your chance to speak! What are your thoughts on the most recent proposal for cannabis rescheduling? I have mixed thoughts, but am very interested in the industry’s collective and inside perspective on how this will affect distribution. Do you think rescheduling Cannabis to a Schedule III over a Schedule IV is a positive?

As a cannabis company leader you are carrying a heavy load. You can't work any harder. If you worked this hard in any other sector you’d be rich by now! You’re starting to wonder why you got into legal cannabis because you don't see how your dream will ever work. What if you were standing in your own way of making progress? I see people in our sector who are holding on to ‘the old ways from the old days’. I get it, some things did used to be better. But the way it was then… that’s not how cannabis is now. Yes, some old ways are good to hold on to. Your passion, determination, and motivation that got you here are all important. However, they are not enough for this new reality. Holding on to the past and thinking ‘this is how it worked before so it will work now’ will keep you struggling. It will keep you from building the kind of company you dream of having. To move forward, you need to have self-awareness about the things that you need to let go of. This includes understanding where you need to improve yourself so that you can run the kind of company that you want to have. It is a mental shift how to do that. Back in the day, the way you ran your show, was very different. Now, your company needs you to show up in ways that you haven’t had to before. It’s not easy to have that self-awareness- to be open to that personal learning and change. To understand the parts of old ways that you need to let go of, and new perspectives to take on. You can do it though. You need to if you want to succeed. 🌿🌟 . #craftcannabis #cannabisindustry #cannabisbusiness #phenologic

Def a click-baity headline - but somewhat true... Anytime a legislator uses the word "hornswoggled" - you start to understand how this happened. BUT I've always maintained - if you're in the cannabis industry and NOT considering hemp, you're prob making a mistake. Just like in trad'l retail - manage your various channels with different strategies. Don't sell the exact same thing for cheaper online (duh - but I feel it needs to be said). Ideally, sell something completely different - the majority of the buyers of Hemp D9 shoppers are NOT regular dispensary customers. Maybe even a diff brand name (as I’m guessing CURA is doing ) _________________________________ Like Curaleaf (H/T Boris Jordan ) Curaleaf, America’s largest cannabis company... is launching a line of beverages with a low amount of Delta-9 THC. AND they're going against the US Cannabis Council on this. “We would prefer that it’d be one regulatory framework for all cannabinoids,” Jordan said. “We’re at that point in time right now with the hemp industry where there needs to be some rules put around what you can and can’t put into these products.” Boris is on the record as saying he thinks THC beverages will ultimately be the biggest category LT... Implicit in that statement is the expectation that current non-cannibas users will move heavily into the category (NOT that smokers will stop & move to drinks). bc as any marketer worth their salt knows - it is SOOOOOOO much harder to get people to change behavior. If you can give them something very close to what they're getting now (but better), your chances are a gajillion times higher for success (+/- 1%). So getting drinkers today to try a THC bev that they can buy where they already shop... and have a nicer buzz, and an even better morning... That's kinda what's happening in the THC bev space rn. _____________________________ Yesterday was a set-back - prob driven by the USCC and other special interests. Unfortunately, it also hurts consumer access - and likely props up the illicit market. As we've seen in NY - our current law enforcement isn't resourced to deal with something that has proliferated over the past year. And honestly, is that where they should be spending their time? On something, adults have shown they enjoy and with few / no issues (NOT talking about gas station gummies).

News articles like this are disappointing to read. When we in the cannabis industry fail to do the right thing by choice, it gives the government reason and room to overreach and overreact. This is why AVEO Vapor Devices has always been forward-thinking and managing our own supply chain to prevent contaminated raw materials from entering our factories, and heavy metal testing before testing was required. We have an obligation to be honest and transparent with our customers. This way, they can make informed decisions about what they put into their bodies based on all the facts. #CannabisIndustry #CaliforniaCannabis #ConsumerSafety #SupplyChainManagement #QualityControl #HonestBusiness #CustomerTrust #CannabisRegulation #FiftyShot #AVEO #EthicalBusiness #HealthAndSafety #Transparency #CleanCannabis #SafeProducts #IndustryStandards #SustainablePractices https://lnkd.in/dUP2u8hx
