Canada’s Recession (& the 4-Step Cannabis Solution)

What is the four-step cannabis solution to Canada’s recession? Canada’s recession is here, masked only by the large influx of immigrants keeping the job numbers up. But when you control for population growth, Canada is in an economic recession. What’s the solution? Whether it’s left-wing parties calling for “stimulus” or right-wing parties calling for “austerity,” you won’t find solutions listening to the elites and gatekeepers responsible for this mess. Too many dollars are chasing too few goods. There aren’t enough […]

Will Banks Kill Cannabis to Save Themselves? (Cannabis Recession 2023)

Will banks kill the cannabis industry to save themselves? Is this another sign of the cannabis recession in 2023? Virtually no country is immune to the effects of the U.S. Federal Reserve. The American central bank secretly bailed out Canadian banks in the 2008-09 recession. So it would be unwise to view Fed actions as having no bearing or consequence for the Canadian economy, including the cannabis industry. In short, central banks may kill cannabis (and other private sector jobs) […]

Is the Cannabis Recession Here?

Is the cannabis recession here? According to a new study exclusive to Forbes, cannabis industry employment has declined, a first in history. The 2% reduction comes after six years of double-digit growth. It can hardly be considered a sign of a cannabis recession. However, broader economic trends point to a recession, even a depression, on the horizon. And the cannabis industry will not be immune to it. In fact, we may already be witnessing signs of the cannabis recession. Is the […]

Cannabis Recession 2023

Is a 2023 cannabis recession inevitable? While an economic downturn is inevitable, how the cannabis industry weathers the storm remains to be seen.  For sure, saturated retail markets will feel the hit as consumers cut back or make more discerning purchases. And large-scale industrial grows that have been more about selling equity than weed will feel the impact.  But why? Why has the value of cannabis stocks been removed from fundamentals? Why are small cannabis business owners – through no […]

Is Cannabis Recession-Proof? 

Is cannabis recession-proof? During the last major recession in 2008 and 2009, the legal cannabis industry didn’t exist. Colorado and Washington didn’t legalize it until late 2012. Canada didn’t have a recreational sector until 2018. We can look at tobacco and alcohol trends during recessions to make some predictions. But ultimately, we won’t know how […]
