Straight Line Analytics is focused on better understanding the challenges and opportunities facing regulated cannabis markets and their potential to generate not only financial, but also societal good.
My focus for the first 9 years of “legalization” has been on the commercial and tax ramifications of various legislative and regulatory decisions and helping licensees to better understand their market(s).
I will increasingly be focusing my attention less on consulting and more with publishing on HI-Blog (www.highintelligence.org) , where I will likely be writing primarily on issues relating to
- product and consumer safety within the industry
- consumer fraud relating to product labels and lab results
- remediation of the widely dysfunctional regulated medical cannabis system that has been providing an almost uniform disservice to patients since 2016
- calling out bad regulation (and enforcement) when I see it and good versions should they begin to arise
I will continue to monitor data out of Washington State’s market through the end of 2024. At that point, I will have in hand 10 years of data on this new market. Then it will be time to write a book.
With luck, that will be done in an office I plan to build just down the road from here:
