There are now dozens of multistate operators (MSOs) in the U.S. cannabis industry. Since 2010, the concept of MSOs has carried many connotations, good and bad. At times, MSOs are considered the ultimate form of “Big Marijuana,” and at other times, they’re considered indispensable to the democratic experiment that is state-by-state legalization. Rarely do we get to peek into the daily inner workings of these MSOs, even though the overwhelming majority are publicly traded. In this episode, Husch Blackwell’s Hilary Bricken and Jushi’s Executive Vice President of Legal Affairs Matt Leeth discuss Jushi’s day-to-day happenings as well as long-term vision. Currently, Jushi operates 38 retail facilities and maintains roughly 1,200 employees throughout the U.S., while offering numerous cannabis brands to both patients and adult-use consumers. During this episode, Matt dishes on the challenges of scaling, regulatory differences from state to state, keeping investors happy, and what Schedule III will mean for Jushi and other MSOs. See less -
