We are back! After a brutal few weeks for cannabis investors we ask the question on everyone's mind - can Cannabis ever make a comeback?

We discuss how cannabis compares to other sectors, where we are seeing the most opportunity, what needs to happen for cannabis to rally (and what other sectors have done the same) and share 3 top non-canna picks along with a cannabis investment idea.

Big thanks to Dan for joining us to kick off 2025 with another great discussion
