Most cannabis companies won't survive the next three years. The ones that do will have better capital discipline, sharper regulatory reads, and operational frameworks built for compression, not growth. The Dime is where cannabis operators, executives, and investors hear directly from the CEOs and founders making those decisions right now: MSO strategy, state-by-state market dynamics, cultivation and extraction economics, brand positioning, and the financing structures keeping companies alive. Bryan Fields hosts weekly conversations built for operators, not observers.

Much of the licensed cannabis industry is quietly counting the volume it expects to inherit from the federal hemp ban coming this November. ** Now December. What they may not realize is that the ban could eliminate the f
AI has made software easier than ever to build. That does not mean every internal tool should become the backbone of your business. In this episode, Bryan sits down with Chris Guthrie to break down the growing temptation
Cannabis rescheduling is not as simple as “Trump rescheduled cannabis.” States are interpreting rescheduling completely differently depending on their license structure. These tiny details are widening the gap between po
Predictable cash flow is the whole game. In cannabis, predictable is the one thing almost nobody has. Organigram CEO James Yamanaka came up over 20 years at British American Tobacco, where that discipline is the entire m
When a regulator asks what the downside is of adding one more testing requirement, what is the downside? Just a little more safe. Just in case. Especially when adding one more item to an already exhaustive testing panel.
The cannabis industry convinced the world it had a medicine before the science caught up. Now the science is here, and almost no one is paying attention. CBD is not a panacea. When Charlotte's Web opened hearts and minds
The number in your head and the number you actually need are not the same number. That gap is where most cannabis businesses break. Joe Lustberg has financed operators across the country for years and watched that gap sw
Cannabis operators aren't short on data. They're drowning in it. The real problem is what happens when that data gets handed to the wrong person, read at the wrong time, or used to justify the wrong decision. Overproduct
A customer walks into the dispensary and asks the budtender for a flower recommendation. They end up with a degraded version of the once high-end flower that graced your cultivation floor. They do not know it. Your brand
The largest payment processor in the world handles cannabis in Canada. In the U.S., they will not touch it. That’s the gap. Aubrey Amatelli left JP Morgan believing that if you followed the rules, aligned with card brand
Politics is a dirty business. Sometimes being feared is the influence you need because access is not the problem. Politicians say "we'll take care of this." Gretchen Gailey has a different approach: stab them in the back
Investing in cannabis requires a split personality. Everyone thinks they're early. Dan McDermitt has been trading the sector for 15 years — through the Canadian boom, the Biden promise, and the slow bleed that followed.
Most cannabis companies chased scale. Rubicon chased quality. What does it actually take to build a premium cannabis brand? Trust sits behind what “premium” really means, why consumers only give brands one chance, how Ru
When California legalized cannabis, did anyone see 70% of the state opting out. Retail access never recovered. The illicit market stayed durable. And taxes kept compounding pressure on operators. Micah Anderson, CEO of L
Everyone knows the Cheech & Chong name. Almost no one understands the infrastructure behind it. This isn’t a celebrity brand story. It’s a leverage story inside a fragmented, state-locked cannabis market that could shift
Beverage may be the most approachable format in cannabis. Familiar ritual. Familiar packaging. Familiar context. Easily Sharable But familiarity creates comparison. Alcohol. That means safety, expectation, and education
For the last 18–24 months, reported cannabis growth told an incomplete story. Demand did not plateau. It was fragmented — between hemp channels, illicit markets, and regulated operators. Now, with the Farm Bill loophole
If you doubled your marketing spend tomorrow, would you double your sales? Most cannabis marketing does not fail because teams spend too little. It fails because marketing is asked to create success while known problems
Exceptional extraction has long been treated as an art. What separates the best teams is not creativity. It is the ability to repeat quality, consistently. And it is not SOP alone. It is judgment applied consistently und
Most cannabis automation fails for a simple reason. It optimizes motion instead of understanding. Automation executes. Robotics adapts. That distinction matters in an industry where variability is unavoidable and capital
