Cannacurio #101: Manufacturing 2024 Q2 Leaderboard
In the last of our Q2 license recaps, we turn to manufacturing, the least volatile of the three activities we cover in these quarterly posts - cannabis manufacturing licenses are issued at a slower pace than cultivation or retail licenses but, unlike license assets, these brands can cross state lines and help well-established companies thrive and build market share.

Cannacurio #97: Ohio’s Dual Use Licenses Just Dropped, What you Need to Know…
To some fanfare, Ohio pushed up their timeline for adult use cannabis to be made available in the state. Instead of a September 7th launch, the regulators approved 60 licenses soon after the window opened on June 7th. Some outlets reported that 62 licenses were issued but upon closer inspection, two had the same address as the regulator in downtown Cleveland and were labeled TEST. Best to ignore those. This post gives a breakdown on license types issued.
