This week:

In this episode of the Cannabis Weekly podcast we’re catching up with an old friend - Beena Goldenberg, CEO of Organigram.

Last week we played you an episode from the archives in which Jay chatted to Beena - and this inspired us to get Beena back on the podcast to give us an update off the back of their recently released Q1 results. 

In this insightful conversation chaired by our own Ben Stevens, the CEO talks us through the company's impressive growth in the fiscal year 22, highlighting the importance of their direct sales team and expanded distribution across the country. 

The big question - does Beena believe Organigram's stock price will exceed the $1 mark before July next year? 

Listen to this episode to find out! 

This month, Prohibition Partners will be launching Edition 8 of The European Cannabis Report, our flagship industry report and the most widely-read resource in the European cannabis industry.

Later in May, Cannabis Europa 2023 takes place in London which will see over 1,500 delegates inside the iconic Barbican Centre to share learnings, network, and move the industry forward. After last year’s success, we will once be holding a small, curated expo alongside the conference.

Talk to our sales team about positioning your company as an authority in the European market.
