The Catalyst Table Starring Hirsh Jain

2024 is the year of potential cannabis catalysts and we had Hirsh Jain, Founder of Ananada Strategy join us to discuss a bevy of federal and state-level opportunities. Next week is 4/20, and one potential time that the DEA could respond to the HHS' Schedule III recommendation. The trio debates the probability of a response and the implications to short and long-term investors. 

On the state side, we tackle Ohio first, and the exciting news that adult-use sales could start as soon as July 2024. Hirsh sees this as a big market, and potentially very profitable due to the reasonable regulatory structure. The conversation evolves into the biggest state-level catalyst, Florida. This massive market may flip to adult-use in 2025 and Hirsh walks us through how he sees the vote potentially happening and the factors determining if it gets to the 60% threshold. We close the conversation handicapping Pennsylvania and when this legislative process could approve adult-use sales and implications for the publicy-traded operators.
