Waiting To Inhale: Cannabis Legalization and The Fight for Racial Justice

Today we’re celebrating 420 by highlighting and encouraging you to purchase a new book by Tahira Rehmatullah and Akwasi Owusu-Bempah, PhD. The title is Waiting To Inhale: Cannabis Legalization and The Fight For Racial Justice.

After over a decade in the legal cannabis industry, Tahira continues to inspire and call for change in the criminal justice system. And just as important, the restoration of the communities harmed by the war on drugs.

We’re proud to know Tahira and we congratulate her and Akwasi on the launch of their new book. This is a critical topic until it is no longer a topic. Link to the book in the comments.

Happy 420 to everyone. Stay safe.

Cannabis is Regenerative
Cannabis is Personal
Cannabis is for Everyone

Acting As If The Next Check Isn’t Coming

“ACTING AS IF THE NEXT CHECK ISN’T COMING…”

Cannabis entrepreneurs who tell us that this as their current mindset seem to be the same cannabis entrepreneurs who have investor interest. Cruel trick, but a reality.

These cannabis operators have resized or reshaped their operations to weather the current pullback. They don’t NEED investment to continue operations or fulfill an order. They know how to operate their business (however cash tight that operation might be). They also know that however long this pullback lasts, it won't be forever.

These happen to be very attractive characteristics to investors who have seen some of their investments vanish chasing unattainable growth.

So, for those cannabis entrepreneurs currently raising capital, maybe spend more time talking about how your current business sustains and less time talking about “Cannabis will be a $60B industry in 2026.”
