Christmas Present #4 – KCSA Hostful Holi...

The Green Rush
About this episode

To celebrate Christmas Week, we’ll be providing our listeners presents throughout the week by posting some of our favorite episodes from 2019!

For our fourth episode of the week we present our end of the year KCSA Hostful Holiday episode! Our hosts are joined by their KCSA colleagues Nick Opich and Phil Carlson to recap 2019 for the cannabis industry and explore what they think is on deck for the space in 2020.

In addition to recapping the space, the KCSA team explores what storylines surprised them most in the last year, what to expect in terms of M&A in 2020 following a disastrous year in the capital markets, their predictions for how cannabis can achieve greater cultural acceptance and how markets like Michigan, Illinois and Oklahoma are shaping the future of the industry. 

Don’t sit back, lean forward and enjoy!
