Cannabis Sector Thoughts

Starting this thread as there doesn’t seem to be much information about the sector on WSO. If you happen to have any information on firms (both IB and PE/VC) that are pretty active within the cannabis markets please share.

Also, what does comp look like for cannabis buy-side firms if you happen to know?

Feel free to also share/input anything else that is material within the sector! Appreciate y’all
