M&A in Cannabis - Bigger Definitely Isn't Better - a podcast by Soil To The Oil Media
from 2021-06-16T19:31:35
The CannaBS Detector is back for season 3, and this is going to be the biggest season yet! On this episode Kristen introduces her new cohost, Brett Puffenbarger, and the pair dig into a lot of what has brought them together as well as some truth bombs about the cannabis industry that the MSOs don’t want you to know.
Join us as we dig in on some interesting tidbits about the foundations of cannabis and what those foundations really mean for the recent wave of M&A activity surrounding the space. Hint… it’s mostly smoke and mirrors to distract from their messy operations, but investors don’t seem to pay attention to that. Strange, but then again, I’m sure they feel super cool telling all the guys at the country club how they own/run/have/ “one of the largest cannabis companies in the world”!
Remember the collapse of MedMen? Oh, and then there’s the recent merger of Harvest and Trulieve, and let’s not forget the wolves at the door of the industry (Looking at you Big Tobacco and Alcohol).
BTW, did you know most of the industry would collapse should federal legalization in the states happen? Well, you should if you listened to last season! What about the fact that most MSO's are set up to fail and their executive packages prove it?
We love to get into the how, why, and what to look for to really understand what is quickly shaping up to be the “Big Short” of the 2020’s… if you’ve heard of “pump and dump” schemes, then you will be very interested in some of what we have going down this season!
Stay tuned, we are just getting started!

- Weed Doesn’t Sell Itself, and That is Why the Model of Oil and Mining Futures Doesn’t work in Weed
- Going Public isn’t the Answer, and Neither Is Hoping CPG brands will buy you… Focus on Quality and People
