Why M&A Is Already Happening in Cannabis & Psychedelics | TTB Presented by Flowhub

On this episode of Trade to Black, presented by Flowhub, hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell open with the news that Vireo Growth (CSE: VREO) (OTCQX: VREOF) is acquiring cultivation, manufacturing, and retail operations from The Cannabist Company (Cboe CA: CBST) (OTCQX: CBSTF) across five states: Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and West Virginia. The deal, worth up to $35 million, hands Vireo up to 25 dispensaries, a cultivation asset, and a production facility, pushing its national footprint to roughly 230 dispensaries across 15 states, second only to Trulieve (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF). The guys break down how this fits into a run of ten acquisitions Vireo has made this year alone, and whether the pace is smart consolidation or something riskier. They also get into what’s happening with hemp in Florida, where businesses are watching a planned federal ban on THC products threaten an industry that’s become a major part of the state’s retail landscape, plus news out of Alabama, where officials are holding a public hearing this week on whether to reschedule marijuana at the state level in line with the federal move.Then in the second segment, Matthew “Whiz” Buckley, founder of Top Gun Options and former fighter pilot, joins the show to talk through last week’s big pharma acquisition news, Eli Lilly’s (NYSE: LLY) deal to acquire Atai Beckley (NASDAQ: ATAI). Buckley gives his read on the deal itself and whether the premium attached to it was enough.Like, subscribe, and leave your comments!#CannabisIndustry #TrumpAdministration #CannabisNews #MedicalMarijuana #AdultUseCannabis #MarijuanaMoment #HempIndustry #Florida #Alabama #ToddBlanche #EliLilly #AtaiBeckley #CannabisPolicyWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Why Cannabis Companies Are Backing Trump |...  🎬    • The DEA Hearing Is Over. Now What? | TDR C...  🎬    • Are THC Drinks Replacing Alcohol? | TDR Ca...  🎬    • DEA Hearing Ends: What Happens Next? | TDR...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:   / the-dales-report  Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradetoBlackon...Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradeToBlackon...Website: https://thedalesreport.com/For copyright matters, contact:[email protected] Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
