“I don't know how we can keep doing this over and over again. I'm really frustrated with the way this particular election went, like we've learned nothing from the last few years. And I think where I'm trying to weather the storm, the next generation is like, ‘No, we're going out with a lightning rod, we're going to figure this shit out, because we can't keep doing this every year.’”

“We're very excited and proud to have announced the merger with BR Brands, the owner of Mary's Medicinals. I'd say there's not two more iconic brands in the industry than Dixie and Mary's. We complement each other really well from a portfolio perspective and a reach to the market; a total addressable market approach.”

“So what do we know? We have to be healthy. And I think that cannabis, yoga, exercise, all of these things are a part of a shift in society that we are seeing. And I think it will find its place from a wellness standpoint.”

“During this time, [the people who] are going to catch it on the chin are the people who live paycheck to paycheck. If we don't come up with a comprehensive plan to address the financial situations of the poor—the food, the health, and the nutritional needs of the poor—that's when things are going to get really bad. But if government can step forward and do that—and you worry about business only to the standpoint that they can hire people—but if government does that, then the people get confidence in their government and are less likely to rebel against their government.”

““From a long-term perspective, we're only at the beginning of what's going to be a very robust part of our economy. You have a lot of people that consume marijuana across our country and across the globe. Many of those individuals live in states where it's not even regulated yet, so there aren't business opportunities. There isn't tax revenue coming in. I think long-term, there will absolutely be a robust cannabis and hemp economy across the country and across the globe.”

“If you think of the future as cannabis as an ingredient, not the actual product itself, every single brand should be catered to what the use case is and know what the target audience is. So we firmly believe [in] the future of hyper-focused niche brands… taking the friction away from having to talk to a budtender and really focusing on what the consumer sees and understands about the brand before they enter into the dispensary.”

“What it has done though is it's made not only operators, but also your regulators administrations take a real look at the cannabis industry and come to the conclusion, almost across the board that the cannabis industry is an essential industry.”
