DIG in the News
Puff, Puff, Pass the Assets: Purchasing Distressed Assets in the Cannabis Sphere
Following years of explosive growth and regulatory change, the cannabis industry is at a turning point. Initial enthusiasm has fallen to harsh realities, and many cannabis businesses must address mounting financial pressure, operational inefficiency, and limited capital access. No longer sustained by early investor enthusiasm and aggressive expansion, the market has winnowed successful operators from overleveraged hopefuls, creating a new crop of distressed assets ready for harvest. From these ashes comes opportunity, and for savvy buyers and investors, this is a moment for growth and expansion.
Spotlight on Ice Miller’s Cannabis Group
