Cartel Chaos Impacting Cannabis Growth Now

Happy Monday everyone! Thanks for checking in. In today's latest to-black trade discussion, I'm your host, and we've got a compelling one coming up. We'll be joined by Margaret Brody, CEO of Rubicon Organics, fresh off her company's boost in annual output by 40%. Why? Because they just received their Health Canada license last week at their Hope, BC facility, now renamed Cascadia. We'll bring her on to dive into that news from last week.

As well, we'll speak with Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of The Main Wire. He appeared three months ago and unpacked the Chinese drug cartels in Maine. His insights into cartel chaos have become increasingly relevant. He's been making repeated appearances since then, and we want to find out just how much this message is reaching lawmakers and becoming mainstream. It's a fascinating conversation ahead — because let's face it, the current administration needs to fully grasp the law-and-order dynamics behind the scenes, especially when we dig into cartel chaos in places like Maine and beyond.

So in our second segment today, we'll hear directly from Steve about how the broader awareness of cartel chaos is evolving. How much of this chaos is understood, how much is being addressed, and how many people are still in the dark. The network of actors behind the scenes has allowed cartel chaos to flourish in many states, and it's high time that shifts.

Now, we'll also talk about what's next for Canadian cannabis. At Rubicon's Cascadia facility, adding 4,500 kg of indoor grow capacity is no small feat. But as this expansion happens, so too does the risk of regulatory gaps and illicit players rising up — that's where cartel chaos creeps in. As the market grows, the legitimate operators are fighting to keep things clean, while the under-belly, fueled by cartel chaos, tries to exploit loopholes and weak oversight.
