The Capitalization of Cannabis through Legalization
As cannabis undergoes a turnaround from federally-illegal Schedule I drug to who-knows-what in the future, the process of state-by-state legalization may provide a road map of pitfalls to avoid for existing cannabis businesses. Legal cannabis has been one of the fastest-growing industries in America in the past few years, but not because millions of new customers are being created; rather, it is because existing cannabis growers and consumers are moving into legal markets. The growth of the industry is at least partially a story of a thriving black market having the light cast on it. Legalization, however, is still an ongoing fight. Right now, the narrative is about successful small businesses taking advantage of an emerging gray market with savvy risk-taking. However, if federal rules loosen up (as expected will eventually happen), big industries will follow the same script. Pharma and alcohol companies are expected to enter the market in a big way, and they’ll capitalize on markets being built today. Able to use vast amounts of capital to create economies of scale that will drive out smaller operations, big industry may be the long-term future of cannabis. The current crop of legal cannabis businesses will face a challenging market and even the more competitive environment in the future. As it stands, consumers by and large buy the strongest cannabis at the cheapest price they can find a model sure to benefit big capital’s economy of scale. Cannabis businesses can try to differentiate, specialize, grow into a big business itself, or educate consumers. The future is not yet written, but the history so far indicates it will not be easy for cannabis businesses when the next stage of legalization unfolds
