3 Ways to Effectively Assess a Legal Cannabis Company

How to scrutinize a legal cannabis company to mitigate risk, and best ensure your investment, partnership, employment or other involvement doesn’t ‘go up in smoke.’

The legal cannabis industry is projected to exceed $50 billion by 2022, according to Cowen & Co., and another report states that, from just January to September 2017, alone, “cultivation and retail investments tripled to $718 million.” With areas like agricultural technology, infused products, and software attracting copious investor dollars, the future for many stakeholders is decidedly green. Given the extent of near-guaranteed growth and financial upside of the legalized cannabis industry — and throngs of sectors related to it — there’s a gold rush mentality prompting people to invest in cannabis stocks, partner with cannabis companies, accept employment opportunities and otherwise stake their claim as the so-called “wild west of cannabis” unfolds. Flourish seems to be a better characterization, given that the legal cannabis industry is reported to be the single fastest-growing industry in the United States—one that added over 64,000 full-time legal cannabis jobs in 2018, bringing the total number of positions for the year to 211,000. That's a 44% rise from the prior year, according to a new report from Leafly and Whitney Economics.

An Insider Perspective

So, it’s certainly no surprise that trend-driven, profit-minded companies, entrepreneurs, investors and even job seekers are putting politics and value judgements aside, finding ways to leverage legalized cannabis interests to boost their own bottom lines. However, Zachary Venegas, CEO of Helix TCS, Inc., warns that “given the extent and complexity of issues surrounding safety and security, regulatory and compliance matters, technology and other key concerns that can vary from state to state, there are a number of key factors to examine before formally engaging or investing with a company operating in this space to best protect your interests.” Venegas' publicly-traded company (OTCQB:HLIX) is the industry’s leading provider of integrated operating solutions in the legal cannabis industry, and is heavily staffed with military veterans and law enforcement specialists, oversees security and transport, data analytics and compliance tracking concerns for legal cannabis businesses across the industry spectrum. According to Venegas, a pioneering executive helping drive cannabis industry maturation, “It's imperative to proceed with extreme caution, as seemingly legitimate purveyors in this space can still be riddled with red flags and hazards that they themselves may or may not be aware of, which are often not apparent to an outsider without proper due diligence. No profit-minded professional would prudently ignore such a market, but one must be mindful that this unique sector is rife with complex legal and regulatory risks.”

To help professionals and businesses at large better navigate what can be a treacherous field of issues while engaging with a cannabis company, Venegas offers this advice on a few ways to effectively scrutinize a legal cannabis company (whether private sector or publicly-traded).   Be skeptical of fast expansion This can be an indication that a company is prioritizing growth over regulatory compliance, which varies drastically by state. Professionals will understand that an appetite for risk is often a plus, and that companies that play it safe usually aren’t the ones to end up making waves. But, when it comes to the cannabis industry, there’s a caveat: according to Venegas, being cautious with regulatory requirements isn’t a mistake–it’s good management.

Graph courtesy of Leafly However inevitable as it might seem, legal cannabis hasn’t yet hit mainstream acceptance. Not being methodical in complying with regulations at both the local and federal level means these businesses are a step away from disaster. While any number of companies have so far skirted the minefield of regulations without consequence, they may have been lulled into a false sense of security as heavier enforcement is only a matter of time. Early adopter states like California intend to get tough on illegal pot purveyors, amid widespread reports that Nicole Elliott, senior adviser on cannabis to Gov. Gavin Newsom, said state funds for enforcement would nearly double in the fiscal year that begins July 1, to $113 million. California is also actively driving public information campaigns helping consumers get "#weedwise" to best ensure their purchases are legal and from properly state-licensed cannabis businesses. This includes production, manufacturing, retail, delivery, distributors, testing laboratories. Using tools like those the California Bureau of Cannabis Control offers at CApotcheck.com, consumers and industry players alike can readily vet an organization. One other way to evaluate a business on this point is to examine their legal team; any legitimate business who plans to stay in this particular game must have proper legal advice. If they don’t have lawyers, it’s highly possibly they’re not being mindful of this sector’s ever-changing legal landscape.

Avoid businesses without foundational advantages When trying to predict which companies will be around for the long-haul, investors should look to Canada, which legalized recreational marijuana in 2018. Nine out of the world’s top 10 largest cannabis companies, all Canadian, first had a solid grounding in supplying medical cannabis before branching into recreational products. “An advantage in infrastructure is huge,” Venegas notes. “We all tend to like the story of the tiny startup blowing up overnight, but the businesses most likely to take advantage of legalization are those who have existing footholds in the industry and the connections to exploit them. A lot of these smaller operations will be squeezed out of the market once legalization is widespread and larger players join in.” In other words, be wary when engaging companies entering the market—or even currently operating—without sound infrastructure, though they might seem like good prospects in the existing competitive environment. The only thing constant is change as the saying goes, so a company must be willing and able to scale, pivot and adapt as needed. Also consider that companies with operations in adjacent industries, like hydroponics equipment, also have a head start. A red flag: no executive experience in a heavily regulated industry

Graphic courtesy of Leafly A must in any engagement scenario is studying a company’s team, but this takes on another level of importance when it comes to cannabis. The mess of varying state regulatory environments, future legal developments and political concerns means any business planning to succeed in the industry will face a set of unique challenges that few other companies will. Experience is needed to mitigate those challenges and ensure that growth doesn’t hit a landmine. Executives or advisors with a background in the medical cannabis industry is the ideal scenario, as this can well-prepare a company for future changes across various verticals beyond pharma with respect to recreational marijuana and a litany of CBD and hemp-oriented consumer goods. Even executives or advisors in other industries that comparably navigate stringent regulatory and compliance challenges can be a boon. This might be why tobacco companies are betting big to become major players in the cannabis market. Even professionals with backgrounds in alcohol, gaming, cryptocurrency and the like may be able to adapt quicker to the fast-changing environment of the current cannabis market than the norm. “In my extensive work helping legitimate and legal cannabis operations secure the various resources needed to scale their businesses and capitalize on revenue and other growth opportunities, coupled with my private equity and frontier market launches of multi-million dollar businesses across three continents, I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly at this point in my career—including how each of these scenarios has impacted the marketplace at large,” notes Venegas. “I’m thrilled to boil some of this key learning down to tips and tools that other professionals and businesses can utilize to keep themselves out of harm’s way...financially, legally and otherwise.” It would seem that even keeping this bit of baseline wisdom in mind can proffer a make or break difference, helping you avoid getting “burned” by endeavoring into the legal cannabis trade.

Hostelworld Celebrates 20th Birthday with Epic Global Party Tour

With the likes of Mariah Carey and 50 Cent apparent fans of hostel travel—where low prices, shared accommodations and sociable common areas reign supreme—it’s no wonder that this hospitality category is going gangbusters.

Photo Courtesy Hostelworld In fact, one published report indicates tremendous hostel market growth, which is estimated to reach a whopping $6.4 billion in 2020. That’s a lot of revenue for an industry that hangs its hat on reasonable prices that are often well below market-standards. One company doing more than its fair share to spur the success of this sector is Hostelworld, the leading hostel-focused online booking platform. In fact, their new travel report found that recent travelers who went on extended trips of three weeks or more, visiting multiple destinations, over four in five (81%) chose to stay in hostels.

Epic 20 Years Young Party

Exemplifying this burgeoning sector popularity, Hostelworld recently showcased its longevity by  celebrating its 20th year anniversary in epic form this summer, having thrown 20 parties over 20 days in 20 countries worldwide. The company’s “20 Years Young” parties as they were coined were hosted in all corners of the globe—from San Diego, Marrakech, Paris, Tokyo and beyond, ultimately coming to a wrap in London. The parties, with each themed around a particular year among the last twenty, lit up social media thanks to venues that were kitted out with party props as well as the bevy of travel influencers who hosted games and activities with much fanfare. This included a collective of Instagram Live streams said to have helped bring guests together in a way only the true hostel experience can.

The Party Locales

If you need more convincing about how grand Hostelworld’s “20 Years Young” party tour was, just read the schedule below to appreciate how awe-inspiring this celebration was. 1. Berlin, Germany: St. Christopher’s Berlin Mitte – Party Like It’s 1999 2. San Diego, USA: USA Hostels Ocean Beach – Millennium Party 3. Cancun, Mexico: Selina Cancun Downtown – Double Denim Party 4. Tayrona National Park, Colombia: Viajero Tayrona Hostel Colombia – Sk8er Party 5. Phuket, Thailand: Lub D Phuket – Under the Sea Party 6. Barcelona, Spain: Unite Hostel Barcelona – Funky Gym Party 7. Montreal, Canada: M Montreal Hostel – Jungle Party 8. Siem Reap, Cambodia: White Rabbit Hostel – Farewell Pluto Party 9. Sydney, Australia: Wake Up! Sydney Central – Pirate Party 10. Paris, France: JO&JOE Paris Gentilly – Lost Temple Party 11. Tel Aviv, Israel: Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv – Vampire Party 12. Ubud, Indonesia: Puri Garden Hotel & Hostel – Greek Myths Party 13.

Lisbon, Portugal: The Independente Hostel & Suites – Superstar Party 20. London, England: Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage – Birthday Party “The hostels for each of our events had been carefully selected to provide guests with the best possible experience, as we know today’s travelers expect far more than just a bed for the night from their accommodation,” noted a Hostelworld spokesperson. “As well as being perfectly located to explore, party guests were greeted by fabulous amenities like a cinema room in Mexico, a Muay Thai boxing ring in Thailand, and morning yoga in Indonesia.”

Hostel Social Offerings

According to research by Hostelworld, it seems meeting and commiserating with people from all over the world is of escalating importance to American travelers, ranking “social space as the most important consideration when choosing where to stay,” which is certainly an area where hostels excel. “Another factor helping spur category growth is the importance of free activities that hostels often offer their guests,” the company said. Keeping the celebration going, Hostelworld continues to offer killer deals and free activities that help travelers make lasting memories. For example, USA Hostels Ocean Beach in San Diego offers visitors free shuttles to La Jolla and Tijuana, in addition to relaxing yoga classes and social barbeques. So if you have that itch to get out of Dodge this fall, holiday or beyond and are looking to save a buck or two in the process—and meet and mingle with some interesting folks along the way—give a hostel stay a go. It just might result in the most memorable adventure of your lifetime. ***Some or all of the accommodations(s), experience(s), item(s) and/or service(s) detailed above may have been provided at no cost or sponsored to accommodate this review, but all opinions expressed are entirely those of Merilee Kern and have not been influenced in any way.*** Sources: https://blueswandaily.com/often-overlooked-hostel-industry-shows-huge-upside-as-investors-attempt-to-appeal-to-millennials/ https://www.phocuswright.com/Travel-Research/Consumer-Trends/The-Global-Hostel-Marketplace-2016-2020-Second-Edition http://www.hostelworldgroup.com/~/media/Files/H/Hostelworld-v2/reports-and-presentations/the-evolution-of-the-hostel-traveller-v1.pdf Read the full article
