Question for the $MSOS crowd. If you had to run an actual cannabis retail business tomorrow what's the first thing you'd change? Talking about payroll, inventory, customers and keeping the lights on. Curious what you guys think.

Watching everybody turn the Epstein files into another team sport is something else. Read what's actually there ask questions and make up your own mind. Been smoking weed and questioning authority most of my life. Don't plan on changing now lol.

One thing about getting your ass kicked in this industry for years. You start to figure out who the good people are. Lot of solid operators still standing. Don't have to agree on everything to find some common ground. #Weedforthepeople

Here's a question… Would you rather own 10 really profitable dispensaries or 100 stores that barely make money? Seems obvious to me but looking around this industry I'm not so sure everybody agrees lol. #MSOS

Lot of people with very strong opinions about $GLAS these days. I'm more interested in where wholesale prices go from here and who can actually make money growing weed at scale. That's the part that matters to me.

#Missouri says licensed stores are capturing 93% of reported #cannabis spending. Pretty IMPRESSIVE. Turns out people will shop legally when you give them a reason to. Wonder if anybody in #Sacramento is taking notes.

DEA said no to reopening the rescheduling hearing. At this point I think there's more paperwork about weed than actual weed in the country lol. #DEA

Everybody talks about how tough California is. And they're right. But I'll tell you something. If you can build a real business here with these taxes these regulations and this competition you're probably gonna be alright just about anywhere. #Ifyoucanmakeithere

We want to see new policy and willing to go with anybody who gives us a voice. @KarenBassLA has destroyed LA cannabis. Let’s make her pay. #Redorm #LAMAYOR #weedforthepeople

I think a lot of owners underestimate what a great budtender is worth. That person knows the customers their preferences their budgets and half their life stories. That's not a cashier. That's a pretty important part of your business. #Catalyst #Capos

Serious question for the $MSOS crowd. If you had to take your life savings and buy ONE cannabis business outright. Not the stock. The actual business. Which one are you taking?

#Massachusetts voters are actually being asked if they wanna get rid of recreational weed stores. Ten years after voting to legalize them. Imagine building a business hiring people paying taxes and then having to ask permission to exist again.

California's DCC is commissioning another economic impact assessment. I got an idea… Maybe start by asking the people actually running these businesses what it costs to stay open. Could probably save everybody a few bucks lol. #California #Cannabis

The older I get the more I enjoy watching people underestimate other people. Everybody's got an opinion about who's gonna win. Meanwhile some guys are just quietly stacking bricks. Love to see it. #MSOS

Weed for the People. Not weed for shareholders not weed for influencers not weed for guys arguing all day on the internet. Just fire weed at fire prices for regular fucking people. #Weedforthepeople

Still think we're in the early innings of this whole thing. Good weed is gonna win. Good operators are gonna win. Customers are gonna win. Lot of noise between here and there but I'm pretty fucking bullish on the future. #Weedforthepeople

Some really good people in the public space. Some really good companies too. Just think we've spent way too much time celebrating valuations and not nearly enough celebrating profitable businesses. $MSOS

Funny thing about cannabis. Everybody wants to buy everybody until somebody opens the books. Then all of a sudden we're just exploring strategic opportunities lol. $MSOS

A good budtender remembers what you smoked last time. A great one remembers whether you liked it. Those little things matter a hell of a lot more than people realize. #Weedforthepeople
