THC is an ingredient.
Cannabinoids will be treated like standardized inputs across pharma, licensed cannabis, and hemp—and the future winners are hedging until there’s clarity.

What got you here won’t get you there. The next phase needs a new playbook: ops tweaks aren’t enough; strategy has to change.

Near term, expect Schedule III to unlock e-pharmacy distribution and centralized GMP manufacturing, while tobacco pushes device rules, alcohol shapes low-dose beverage norms, and hemp keeps expanding.

This chaotic industry is about to get even crazier.

This week we sit down with Zach Edge to discuss

  • THC as a molecule
  • Intersection of pharma, hemp, and licensed cannabis:
  • Schedule III breakdown: e-pharmacies, centralized GMP
