Inconsistent regulations, ever-evolving markets and rapid growth across sectors mean that cannabis companies do not and cannot operate in the same way as traditional, mainstream brands. In this episode, Aaron Miles, chief investment officer at Verano, discusses his experience in taking two cannabis companies public, expanding the brands nationally and navigating industry pain points. He highlights the necessary changes cannabis companies must make in order to run efficiently and shares the nuances of industry challenges in regards to aspects like banking, federal and local regulation, raising capital and more. Miles also shares how Verano’s new partnership with Mission Green will further efforts to assist companies whose success has been inhibited by cannabis prohibition.
