"From Schedule I to III: How Cannabis Regulatory Changes Could Reshape Investment Landscape"

Ian Dominguez, the founder and chief investment officer at Delta Emerald Ventures, joins Dan Humiston to discuss cannabis industry investments and the potential impact of regulatory changes on the market. The conversation focuses on the shift from cannabis being classified as a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance and its potential implications.

Ian highlights that such a change could attract more capital into the industry, similar to how states with legalized cannabis are already functioning to some extent. However, he cautions against assuming an immediate windfall, drawing parallels to historical instances where sudden profitability led to frivolous spending and discounting.

He emphasizes the need for technology in the cannabis sector, especially for operators facing increasing competition and the necessity to drive costs down. Ian sees significant potential in technological advancements to help operators improve efficiencies and remain competitive. He points out that while Multi-State Operators (MSOs) usually get attention, smaller, independent operators also drive innovation in cannabis retail.

Regarding investment opportunities in the cannabis industry, Ian suggests that individual retail investors can benefit from learning and networking within the industry but advises against navigating it alone. He emphasizes the value of collective learning and sharing information. Ian invites people to explore their newsletter and events for insights and learning opportunities.
