Okay. So real talk. Are cannabis businesses all that profitable or is better to be a cannabis adjacent business (e.g., delivery or prescriber or other business).

I've been laid off twice in two years working for Canadian producers. I'd recommend working in adjacent/supportive industries. I'm in fact looking to exit this industry as it is too uncertain and in reality set up to fail.

I disagree that the cannabis industry is set up to fail. This is an uncharted territory making history in so many ways. it is a growing industry in it's infancy. Many states made costly mistakes in the beggining and are learning from this.

Here in California all the profit is in the "last mile" of the business. As in the dispensary and especially the delivery service. If you have a client list trying to buy then the money is great if hard to utilize since nobody will be ur bank. Growing and extraction need property and special licenses. I've seen for exracters They make it a requirement that u have a commercial location to ¡apply! for the license that's none transferable and then take literally years to process the application meaning a company has to have the capital to pay for the property for years without any money coming in and even after that the fire inspector can just say no without any recourse and all that wasted money. It's issues like these that r keeping large parts of the industry unprofitable not the market itself

And I end up reading the same cases over and over. Does anyone have advice for being more confident/efficient on tasks, especially research?

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.
