The Talking Hedge

The pitch deck is a presentation that entrepreneurs put together when seeking a round of financing from investors.

Startups closed out 2020 in a much stronger position with global venture funding up 4 percent year over year to $300 billion. Late-stage venture capital, which includes Series C and later rounds, grew 8 percent year over year. Private equity in venture-backed companies grew even more, at 73 percent year over year.

If you are serious about your pitch deck it is not a bad idea to ask someone with a high-level understanding to take a look at your deck. A couple of tweaks to images, placement, and words could make a multi-million dollar difference.

Rolling is incredibly laborious & time consuming, requiring skill & patience. The Blackbird from RollPros is an automated commercial joint rolling machine, which eliminates hand-rolled production constraints, producing 750 hemp or cannabis joints per hour.

Quality and consistency has been a problem in the cannabis industry, and prerolls have limited production because they are extremely time consuming to produce. Joints are not easy to roll, but a preroll's shape does not produce an ideal draw, resulting in an inferior experience compared to a cylindrical joint.

RollPros provides clients an opportunity to display compelling, professionally designed and accessible customized brands. The Blackbird has the capacity to create national brands with differentiated products at economies of scale, resulting in reasonable prices for consumers.

Joints (and blunts) are in strong demand both in MMJ and regulated adult-use states. Customers seeking strain specific options are still under-served. An opportunity has grown for top-shelf organic, strain-specific products for more discerning and sophisticated costumers. The Blackbird is the solution to that opportunity, allowing small business to reallocate their human capital to focus on selling more joints while growing a national brand.

U.S. Cultivation & Retail sector companies have enjoyed rapidly expanding valuation metrics since the beginning of 2021. However, the gains have not been equally shared. The Viridian Cannabis Value Tracker shows that since August, the gap has widened between companies with more than $500 million of market cap vs the same measure for companies with less than $500 million market cap.

In a major blow to South Dakota’s nascent legal marijuana industry, a circuit court judge ruled that a voter-approved constitutional amendment legalizing adult-use cannabis is unconstitutional.

South Dakota voters in November approved Amendment A with 54% in favor as well as Measure 26, which legalized medical marijuana, with 53% in favor. Those victories made South Dakota the first state to simultaneously legalize adult-use and medical marijuana markets. #RedFlag no.1?

However, the judge ruled that Amendment A violated a South Dakota law that requires amendments seeking to change the state’s constitution to focus on only one subject. The law also prohibits broad changes to state government.

In the end, South Dakota's governor will delay medical cannabis program until 2022. The governor said the delay is necessary because she doesn’t have enough time to study the issue before starting a medical marijuana program this year. *COUGH* BULLSHIT *COUGH*

The growing number of states legalizing medical marijuana and increasing demand for cannabis in medical and recreational applications are some of the main factors that are expected to drive the growth of the cannabis market size. Even states without final tallies for all of 2020 reported record sales figures.

The North America cannabis market is expected to reach $ 65B by 2027 from $ 6B in 2019. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 29.9% from 2020 to 2027.

A snapshot of a few marijuana markets across the U.S. revealed that even states that took a hit at points during 2020 – such as Nevada, where tourism dried up for several months starting in March – either rebounded or grew steadily throughout the year.

The North America region is going to dominate the global cannabis market due to increasing legalization of cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes all over North America. Experts agreed that while 2020 might have set a new bar for industry performance, it’ll likely be an easy one to meet as the legal marijuana sector continues to grow.

Cannabis is already widely available in Washington State. So why should Washington join the other states in recognizing the right to grow?

To celebrate the 1st Annual Homegrown Weed Summit, we interview Don Skakie, co-founder of Homegrown Washington, a group of private adults who lead productive lives, are involved with their families and communities, follow the law and pay their taxes.

Homegrown is about being able to grow a few plants of something that our state allows to be sold like beer or wine. Washington state law allows each adult to brew up to 200 gallons of beer or wine at home each year but growing even one cannabis plant is a felony unless authorized for medical purposes.

This is contrary to the spirit and intent of Initiative 502, which reformed the state law and created a regulated system of licensed production, processing and sales of marijuana that has brought hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to the state government, profits to those businesses, jobs to those who work in those businesses and economic benefit to the state and the communities where those businesses and workers spend their money.

But initiative 502 was not primarily about money. Its main intent was to address the damaged caused by the failed war on marijuana. Without legal home growing, people are still having their lives destroyed by arrest, prosecution, imprisonment and asset seizure and forfeiture. Black, indigenous, and other people of color are disproportionately affected by the uneven and unfair application of the law and quite frankly law enforcement has more important matters to address.

Virginia took a major step toward becoming the 16th state in the nation to legalize a recreational marijuana market and the first in the South after the House of Delegates and Senate passed different legalization bills.

Virginia’s MMJ dispensary sales in 2021 are projected to range from $9M to $11M. Adult-use marijuana product sales would be taxed at 21% in addition to the standard state sales tax of 6%. Municipalities could charge up to an additional 3%.

A delay between legalization and a market launch would give Virginia time to create an independent agency, the Cannabis Control Authority, to oversee the market, and to develop regulations and rules.
