This meeting is being live streamed via the 11 MRA Facebook page. Because of the constraints on the room 12 and the number of people who are allowed to be in here, I 13 would appreciate if after you've made your comments if you 14 exit the building so we can get someone else to come in and 15 make their comments. This will all be transcribed so we 16 will not miss any comments and anything that's said at 17 the -- during the course of the meeting will be available 18 publicly after the fact as well, so you won't miss anything. 19 But we do want to make sure everyone's given an opportunity. 20 If there's anything you happen to miss, we will take written 21 comments for I think a week, until the 17th, so you're free 22 to submit additional comments in writing to the MRA after 23 that. 24 To my right I have Kelly Kronner and Jessica Fox. 25 They're going to be helping to coordinate the meeting. If Page 3 MARIJUANA REGULATORY AGENCY PUBLIC HEARING February 12, 2020 1 you haven't filled out a comment card, please do that just 2 so we can call your name to make sure that we keep things 3 moving orderly.

  • Cannabis in America
    Cannabis in America: Investment Opportunities in the World’s Largest Cannabis Market Matthew Pallotta, Analyst [email protected] 647-253-1194 Andrew Semple, Associate [email protected] 416-687-6656 August 12, 2019 SPECIAL SITUATIONS AUGUST 12 2019 CANNABIS IN AMERICA INVESTMENT OPPORUNITIES IN THE WORLD’S LARGEST CANNABIS MARKET Executive Summary Our thematic provides an analysis of the investment opportunity presented by the US cannabis industry and builds a case for its attractiveness both in absolute terms and relative to other cannabis investment opportunities in Canadian and international markets. We examine the legal cannabis industry in the US and assess the landscape from the perspective of the competitive environment, financial and valuation metrics, regulatory and legislative backdrop, merger and acquisition activity, and lay out our key investment criteria for assessing operators in the sector. Our analysis also has a specific focus on the group of businesses referred to as Multi-State Operators (“MSOs”), which we feel present the most attractive means for investors to gain exposure to the US cannabis opportunity, due to a number of advantages over their smaller, single-state or regional peers, in terms of the scale of the business, access to capital, and exposure to key markets across the country, amongst others. The $60B Opportunity: US Presents the Largest Addressable Cannabis Market in the World We estimate the long-term potential of the legal US cannabis market to be ~$60B annually, using our estimates for average spending per user and usage rates, and under the assumption that recreational cannabis is eventually made legal across all 50 states.

Wants to see medical cannabis removed from the list of banned substances in the NFL. “On March 9, 2016, I became the first active NFL player to openly advocate for the use of cannabinoids to treat chronic pain and sports-related injuries. It’s time for the NFL to change its archaic standards to better protect its players and set an example for our young athletes. For too long, I’ve watched my teammates and good friends battle with opioid addiction and leave the game with a long road still ahead; it’s time to make a change.” – Eugene Monroe Lansing Mayor, virg Bernero Mayor of the City of Lansing, MI, Mayor Virg Bernero is now in his 8th year as chief executive of Michigan’s sixth largest city.
