It was a big week in Washington for the industry and I don’t mean the debates or the impeachment hearings. The House Judiciary Committee passed the MORE Act, which is legislation to remove cannabis from the controlled substances act and decriminalize it. It will also remove prior and pending marijuana convictions. The next step would be for the legislation to go to a full house vote and then on to the senate. After that, it would still need to be signed by the president. It’s the most comprehensive cannabis reform bills introduced in Congress.

We started the week absorbing the news released after the market close on Friday that MedMen was slashing its ranks and scaling back its expansion plans. 190 employees got pink slips and the company is selling off its assets.

It was another big week for earnings. We’re just going to hit the high notes here.

Trulieve announced Q3 revenue of $70 million which beat estimates and a nice net income of $57 million.
