The 60 Day Rule That Wipes Out A Third Of Dispensaries
<p>In January 2028 a new Massachusetts rule takes effect. Fall 60 days behind on a payment and you can be cut off from every supplier in the state, unable to buy product, sell your business, or transfer your license. Todd Sullivan thinks about a third of the roughly 400 stores in the state will not survive it. He is not worried about that. He is shopping. Todd runs a debt free, profitable operation that has not raised outside money in years, and he is using that position to buy distressed assets while most operators are panicking.</p><p>Todd is the President of Cannapreneur Partners, the holding company behind Joint Operations Dispensaries and Pioneer Valley Extracts. He came up as an entrepreneur and hedge fund manager before going all in on cannabis. In this conversation he breaks down how he acquired stores for almost nothing, why most operators fail on capitalization and the price war, why he bets on the bud tender over discounts, and how rescheduling could bring institutional money rushing back into the industry.</p><p>This is the money side of cannabis, told straight. 21+ where legal. Nothing here is legal, financial, medical, or investment advice. Listen to the full conversation and follow High Functioning.</p>

Massachusetts Wants To Repeal Legal Cannabis. Here's What Question 8 Actually Does.
<p>There is a ballot question in Massachusetts this November that could close every adult-use cannabis store in the state within a year. It is funded largely by out-of-state money, and the panel argues most voters have no idea what it really does. Question 8 would repeal adult use while keeping medical, and because of how the market was built, that would wipe out most operators, tens of thousands of jobs, and billions in tax revenue that currently flows to schools, substance-abuse programs, and city budgets.</p><p>Jason Reposa sits down with three people fighting it: Ryan Dominguez of the Massachusetts Cannabis Coalition, Tito Jackson of Apex Noir Cannabis and former Boston City Councilor, and Caroline Pineau, owner of Stem in Haverhill. They break down how the initiative was written, how signature gatherers collected names, and why "keeping medical" is a trap for an industry built on vertical integration. They also get into who loses access first, what the fight looks like on the ground, and where the polling stands heading into November.</p><p>21+ where legal. This episode is for information only and is not legal, medical, or voting advice. If you build, work, or shop in Massachusetts cannabis, this is the conversation to hear before you vote. Listen now and share it with someone who does not know Question 8 is on the ballot.</p><p><br></p>

Alex Mazin (Bud's Goods): The Grocery Store Theory of Cannabis Retail
<p>Alex Mazin could not raise the $20 million he needed to build a vertical cannabis operation, and he now says that failure protected him from years of headaches. He raised early, pivoted to a single store in Worcester, and has not raised since 2018, funding Bud's Goods' growth from cash flow while much of the industry leaned on investor subsidies to survive. In this conversation he lays out the contrarian playbook behind that: skip cultivation on purpose, curate instead of grow, and treat a dispensary like a grocery store rather than a traditional retail floor.</p><p>Alex is the President and CEO of Bud's Goods & Provisions, a Massachusetts retailer and manufacturer that recently expanded into New Jersey. He walks through the pre-roll matrix built from monthly customer surveys, the automation win that made party-pack production 21 times faster, why he keeps his wholesale team at two people to go deep on the 70 accounts that make up 80% of the market, and the hard reckoning he sees coming for what cannabis stores are actually worth. He also makes the case that the whole industry needs to stop racing prices to the bottom and start raising them.</p><p>21+ only, for adults in legal markets. Nothing in this episode is for sale. Listen to the full conversation on High Functioning.</p>
