Rachel Wright, CPA, MST and Elliot Lane from Benzinga and Benzinga Cannabis had an excellent conversation on "Financing Your Cannabis Future" episode 2. "Finding the Right Partners: Integrity in Collaborative Ventures" focuses on the importance of integrity in forming successful partnerships within the cannabis industry. The discussion emphasizes the necessity for both parties—partners and operators—to possess and demonstrate integrity in their dealings. It is noted that integrity is not only about honesty but also about a mutual commitment to the goals of the collaboration. The conversation underscores the need for thorough due diligence when selecting partners, ensuring that they align not just in business objectives but also in ethical practices. Both sides must evaluate whether they can work effectively together and support each other's growth. The speakers stress that partnerships should be a "give-give" situation, where both parties benefit and contribute equitably.

In 2012, I made the decision to serve my country in the U.S. Marine Corps 🇺🇸. Since 2019, my focus has shifted to serving my community with innovative approaches to create new opportunities, promote equity, and leave a lasting legacy. Ironically, the plant I was once taught to hate has become my tool for change. Cannabis is more than 'just a plant'; it is a vehicle that can be used in uplifting our health, wealth, and shared environment. However, this journey begins with acknowledging past failures. In our latest article, "How CEED Works," we detail our approach to addressing social equity, supporting returning citizens, combating the illicit market, and promoting ownership opportunities for the Black community within the cannabis industry. https://lnkd.in/eDaEkBZQ 🚀 As a cannatech company, CEED Inc is committed to revolutionizing the global impact of cannabis and understand that creating real change requires collaboration and partnership. That's why we are actively seeking to engage with cannabis advocacy groups, state entities, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders to utilize, develop, and implement solutions that benefit the entire cannabis community.
