Hi [%first_name%],

I saw that you/your firm is an investor in the cannabis industry and thought I would reach out. I had an exited VC backed ed-tech startup and now am in the cannabis industry. We are based out of California and produce an efficient weekly cannabis/hemp news roundup that we send to friends in the industry. It would be an honor to have you on our list. I included it below. If you don’t think this is relevant to you, feel free to unsubscribe. I hope you like it! If you have any thoughts or questions you can reach me at k@saporo.us.

Thanks!

Weekly Cannabis News Roundup:

Hi,

The House approved cannabis and hemp for banking as we predicted! Now it’s up to the Senate. And beware of a pending crash due to US hemp oversupply! I’m wondering if the difficulty of differentiating hemp from marijuana will cause police to stop arresting for illegal marijuana. A new report estimates cannabis being worth 30B in 2025.

In this week’s Cool finds, a recent article by CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta extols the medical benefits of THC and CBD. We linked to his three pioneering cannabis documentaries from a few years ago as well. These brought the world of medical cannabis to America’s living room and changed governmental policies. The science has progressed and there are many more quality companies now, but it’s a great series. Watch them and forward it to anyone who doesn't believe in medical cannabis or CBD.

Thanks and have a productive week!
