Cannabis news and links:

Glass House (OTC: GLASF) issued preliminary guidance for Q4 at the high end of its guidance range and notes that California pricing has started to increase. Glass House is one of my largest investments.

“Local legislators in California's third-largest city have already voted 10-1 to approve an ordinance reducing zoning barriers to opening new cannabis shops.” There is a shortage of retail dispensaries in California, including in the city of San Jose (population of 1.8 million). This article is a positive for the California cannabis industry.

First large scale study of its kind by NBER showing that wages and employment actually increase upon legalization of cannabis and there is no real downside to people’s economic wellbeing.

Maryland could be a really great legal market for cannabis. Why? On average people in Maryland smoke more cannabis than average.

More on Maryland, which recently voted to legalize adult use of cannabis: “They projected that Maryland can expect to hit $1 billion in adult-use marijuana sales within 20 months of the market launching. The study also reached the conclusion that the effective tax rate for cannabis should not exceed 20 percent, and the state should open at least 300 dispensaries, in order to effectively transition consumers to the regulated market.” For disclosure: I have investments in MariMed (OTC: MRMD) and Goodness Growth (OTC: GDNSF) and Maryland’s legalization should have an outsized positive effect for both companies which have licenses and operations in the state.

Minnesota has started work on legalizing cannabis and leading state lawmakers made encouraging comments that they want a functioning cannabis market first and foremost. If true, this should bode well for the only two operators in the state: Green Thumb (OTC: GTBIF) and Goodness Growth (OTC: GDNSF). A reminder that I own Goodness Growth.

As investors, we assume that we'll spot the tell-tale signs of an impending revenue growth slow-down. That's not true. The fact is that most companies that stall NEVER restart growth. Here's a thread on "Stall Points" & how to spot them before they destroy your capital ... 🧵

Hirequest (NASDAQ: HQI) is one of my largest investments. The CEO, who already owns over 40% of the company, bought shares on the open market. This is the second recent insider buy. A director bought shares in late December as well.

Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors ever. Which is surprising considering he doesn't: - Do cold plunges/take cold showers - Use a sauna 3-4x a week - Eat super clean - Sleep on an Eight Sleep Mattress - Wake up at 4AM to workout What's his edge ... Luck?

A radio interviewer once asked me what my year-end target was. I said December 31st. I haven't been invited back.
