For a long time in IL cannabis, cultivator and distributor were essentially synonymous. Social equity licensing has proliferated groups that hold no canopy space, but distribute edibles, vapes and infused pre-rolls created from bulk extracts and flower. While they can’t claim the seed-to-sale, artisanal bonafides that other brands have long relied on (☕️ whether or not it’s true 🫖) I’m excited to see many of these brands move into a luxury positioning with well-crafted product lines that fit genuine needs within a saturated market. Do you have a favorite infuser / processor / distributor? Are you aware of the differences in licensing your favorite brands hold?

When I look around my network - i see a whole group of people who transitioned to AUCC from CBD/ Hemp and have partners using them to grow weed. This trend, however, doesn't apply to House of Sacci, a family-owned AUCC under the leadership of CEO, Mike Casacci. His decision to build equity as a brand instead of giving it away as a white-label/co-packer is paying off. By focusing on establishing their position as a premium New York flower brand, he has captured market share across the state. Mike's tenure as CEO can be marked by an understanding of the market dynamics. Product development, genetics and quality have been the differentiators. They run a very modern business - lean and mean like a fine oiled machine. I am seriously impressed every time I visit the WNY farm. When I asked about roadblocks: Mike mentioned that the early entry of Registered Organizations (ROs) from the medical sector and the varied product preferences across different locations add layers of complexity. "You have to constantly adapt your strategies and product offerings to stay competitive."

15 hot takes from today's AMA with Seth Yakatan: 1. License value is a sunk cost (like blueprints) 2. Until proven wrong, hemp derived is short-term play. 3. ~150-200 $10-15M/yr operators currently doing well 4. Most of that 200 has some combination of the vertical 5. Of those, 25% will get acquired, 25% fail, 50% exist. 6. Figure out if you're an M&A biz or a lifestyle biz. 7. Craft cultivation in LA really needs ≥600 lights to win 8. Don't let potential of rescheduling affect current ops 9. Glasshouse will supply most of western US once interstate is legal 10. Hemp Bev is a race to $50M and/or be one of first 4 acquired. 11. There is no consumption lounge model that works (yet). 12. Problem with craft cultivation is maintaining hype. 13. Branding matters even in cannabis; a brand is a promise. 14. There will always be a market for ultra-premium 15. Ultra premium is driven by: quality, scarcity, and the black market — Finally, one of the best questions from Brett Puffenbarger: What is the most investable cannabis business to Seth right now? Answer: "Someone who is doing $35-50m in revenue and is in 5-7 states and wants a slug of growth equity capital to go replicate that model in 8-12 states." — Big thank you to Brett Puffenbarger, Willie McKenzie, and Seth Yakatan for today's AMA. Looking forward to the next one. #cannabisindustry #cannabis #ama #sethyakatan
