This week lays bare the stark contrasts in cannabis regulatory dynamics as Delaware’s tightly orchestrated adult-use launch delivers scarcity-driven advantages to compliant operators, while New York’s cascading failures - from a botched seed-to-sale rollout to the siting debacle - cement its status as a cautionary tale of bureaucratic incompetence, and federal regulators play both sides by endorsing psychedelics research while stonewalling cannabis rescheduling. From Connecticut’s licensing scams exploiting desperate retailers to Australia’s telehealth crackdown foreshadowing enforcement trends, the intelligence reveals structural barriers that sophisticated operators must outmaneuver to thrive.
