Cannabis Investment: Successes, Failures, & Strategies for the Future

The secret is out: the cannabis industry is big business, and there’s a lot of money to be made for savvy investors. But when we talk about cannabis investments, what do we mean? And how in the world can good ROI be captured for businesses operating in the U.S., where cannabis remains illegal at the federal level?

Our panel of experts will walk through their experience navigating cannabis investments, ranging from successful strategies, pitfalls, unique issues faced by investing in the cannabis industry, and hot-take-prognostications as to where the industry will see growth in the future.
