We've got a new episode of A Higher Law! Great conversation with Joseph DeHondt on the state of Cannabis M&A! If you're in the cannabis industry, I hope you'll give this episode (and all of our others) a listen!
What topics should we discuss on upcoming episodes? And if you're interested in joining us for a conversation, please let me know! You can find A Higher Law wherever you get your podcasts!
Like most other practices in the cannabis industry, conducting M&A activity presents its own unique challenges. Federal prohibition restricts traditional financing methods and complicates business valuations, while patchwork regulation across individual states can throw a wrench in due diligence measures. John Fraser, Michigan team leader of Dykema’s cannabis industry group, sits down with Joseph DeHondt, co-chair of Dykema’s M&A practice group, to discuss these nuances and offer advice for how to navigate them.

Truth
In the fast-paced world of the cannabis industry, where innovation is key and competition is fierce, stories of friends turned foes and stolen intellectual property are all too common. From the early days on the West Coast to the present, this industry has witnessed some of the most well-known businesses rise and fall, with tales of deception and resilience.
Having been a part of this industry for over 20 years, I've seen firsthand the dark side of success. Many of the trailblazers in the legacy market have faced the heartbreaking reality of having their ideas and standard operating procedures (SOPs) snatched away by those they once trusted. It's a cautionary tale that reverberates through the professional cannabis landscape.
This post is a wake-up call for everyone to protect themselves and their creations. As the cannabis industry continues to expand its reach, it's crucial to safeguard your intellectual property and establish solid legal foundations. Remember, your ideas and SOPs are the lifeblood of your business, and they deserve to be protected.
Let's rise above the cutthroat nature of this industry and foster a culture of collaboration and integrity. Together, we can create an environment where innovation thrives without the fear of betrayal. 🤝🌿
