What's Next
As the cannabis industry matures, companies are finding their operations do not need to be vertically integrated and seed-to-sale in nature. Rather, more companies are emerging that focus on a single piece of the cannabis supply chain.
In turn, this delivers higher quality product, as each company can hone in on a single aspect of the product.
The nationwide legalization of marijuana in Canada is speeding up this process, while in the U.S. many companies are still required to follow a seed-to-sale business model.
