While many have found cannabis to be helpful for sleep, is it anecdotal, or is there science to back up these feelings?
In the US, 50 to 70 million adults have chronic sleep problems or sleep disorders, according to SleepHealth.org.
FloraWorks set out to validate these claims through double-blind placebo trials, employing the rigorous standards used in pharmaceutical research. These trials aim to provide scientific evidence to support the efficacy of cannabis-derived compounds, such as CBN, in improving sleep.

In contrast, European countries are both legalizing cannabis and planning further legalization. They are keen to avoid the mistakes made by many US states and are learning from past failures.

Pricing and promotion in the retail business may seem closely linked but are fundamentally different. Understanding the intention behind a promotion across the organization is a critical yet often overlooked element in the cannabis industry. Using pricing as a tool to drive sales can have unintended consequences.
For example, if a customer typically purchases one product every 30 days but buys two products when offered at a lower price, they might not return for 60 days.
Did leveraging the price as a tool for additional sales work as intended?
This week, we dive into the intricacies of cannabis retail, exploring all components of the system to understand what is needed to achieve profitability.
Join us as Krista Raymer discusses how to put the pieces of the puzzle together for a successful retail strategy, covering topics such as:

Synthesis, a process that may sound complex, is actually quite common in our daily lives. From the production of everyday items like Advil, organic milk, citric acid, to the creation of vitamins A and D, and multivitamins, synthesis is a key player.
Why does this realization often provoke a negative reaction?
Perhaps it's because there's a desire for clean, safe, and consistent natural products, especially when they originate from plants.
Surprisingly, synthesis enhances our ability to deliver such products.
This week, we're joined by Shane Johnson to delve into the following topics:

BRĒZ immediate success is a testament to the power of a skilled team, a great product, and incredible marketing. A little over a year since its inception, BRĒZ hockey stick trajectory is undeniable and worthy of emulation.
When executed perfectly, marketing becomes more than just a line item on a P&L; it becomes a tool with unlimited potential. BRĒZ ability to connect with consumers on a personal level and address all hidden potential questions and concerns reflects textbook marketing prowess that would earn the approval of industry legends like Gary Albert or David Ogilvy.
The storytelling marketing strategy isn't an Ad but a friendly, informative guide. Educating consumers about an alternative to alcohol minimizes the intimidation factor and highlights the product's benefits, such as its quick onset and ability to eliminate brain fog.
The true beauty of Bez's marketing lies in its authentic storytelling, a quality that is easy to identify yet extremely difficult to replicate.

"Great companies were never built by conservative leaders.
Great companies were built by risk-takers."
Deeply ingrained in Curaleaf's DNA is the ability to navigate the unknown ahead of opportunities.
Timing these events is nearly impossible, but having the foresight and strategic resources in place when the opportunity strikes can change the game.
