EXCLUSIVE: Poseidon's Paxhia Eyes Innovation Resurgence Amid Cannabis Industry Lull

In a time when product innovation in the cannabis industry is at an ebb, Morgan Paxhia, managing partner at Poseidon Investment Management, sees potential for a resurgence.

What Happened: Speaking exclusively to Benzinga at its Cannabis Capital Conference in late September, Paxhia noted that while many industry trends are well-tracked, there is a noticeable slowdown in innovation due to cash constraints, which poses a challenge.

“There’s probably a lot of consumers that might not want to smoke or vape, but would like to have other ways of approaching cannabis,” Paxhia highlighted, noting a market gap for alternative cannabis consumption methods.

Founded by siblings Morgan and Emily Paxhia in 2013, Poseidon Investment Management is one of the longest-standing dedicated cannabis investment funds.
