Thesis
Cannabis will be everywhere.
By 2030, cannabis will be an integral part of our everyday lives, society, and culture.
The industry that anchored itself during the world’s first global pandemic in nearly a century, scaled quickly in a post pandemic world and claimed it’s rightful place alongside the world’s most important and impactful industries.
