The DEA's decision to reduce cannabis to a Schedule III controlled substance coincides with Talarya Brands announcing record growth. Benzinga picks up the story of how these two developments coinciding underscores how unique Talarya's position is as a #cannabis company driving consolidation of distressed assets in California. Read on:

Talarya Brands CEO Dustin Milner breaks down the fallacy of investing in new cannabis markets during the main stage M&A panel at Benzinga's Cannabis Capital Conference: “The issue is, with most of these new markets, the operators have very healthy margins, they’re demanding high prices for the businesses, but over time those margins compress substantially. So we do not believe in first-mover in advantage in new markets. We think that that’s a fallacy. We also think that it’s a mistake when making an investment to go into a new market, because unless you can exit that market in three years, you’re going to be left in a mature, consolidating and price-compressed market.” Catch the fascinating full panel discussion with Poseiden Investment Management's Emily Paxhia, GREEN LIFE BUSINESS GROUP, INC.'s Eric Espinoza and Foley & Lardner LLP's Rob Nederhood here:

Kicking off this week with immense gratitude to everyone who stopped by our booth at Hall of Flowers. Now that the excitement has settled, we're eager to reconnect with all the wonderful individuals we met and explore exciting future partnerships with Cream of the Crop. Let's keep the momentum going! 🍃💨 #HallOfFlowers #HappyMonday #CannabisCulture #ConnectingOverCannabis

California has long been home to the largest concentration of talent in the cannabis industry—but top talent has not always translated into business success. Conversely, we've seen countless operators raise north of $100M in capital, only to crash and burn, even with seasoned business leadership at the helm. Benzinga lays out below how Talarya Brands is paving a different path, bringing together remarkable talent and best-in-class infrastructure which, having become distressed, present remarkable opportunities to fold into our growing house of brands. Says TB CEO Dustin Milner: "This is not just about expansion; it's about creating a sustainable ecosystem where our brands, including Cream of the Crop and West Coast Trading Co., can thrive alongside those we integrate into our operations."

How do cannabis brands thrive in California—the world's toughest cannabis market? Talarya Brands CEO Dustin Milner will be on stage next week alongside industry leaders from Old Pal, A GOLDEN STATE™, and TerrAscend on a panel moderated by the great Joey Brabo from Respect My Region to delve into this hot topic. Big thanks to Benzinga Cannabis for putting on this important event. If you're in the industry and in LA next week, this is not to be missed. Here's a great summary from RMR:
