SUMMER BUSINESS: CANNABIZ HOLDS UP, SO FAR

For this week’s summer business issue, we looked at how the industry is doing in our unpredictable times. The short answer seems to be: Pretty darn well, considering.

• “Overall, cannabis sales seem to be following their standard seasonal patterns. July and August are often strong months,” Hilary Corrigan reports in WeedWeek.
• The industry’s jobs market has never been stronger.
• Brands are figuring out how to retool for a summer without festivals.
• Dispensaries have overhauled their operations and marketing for this “doozy” of a year.
