Chain vs. Indy: Which Dispensaries Do People Prefer?

Consumers have good reasons to shop at either, and sometimes it just comes down to location and convenience. However, when pressed, it seems renegade cannabis consumers prefer the indies. |

A matter of latitude: Icelandic grower develops hemp for northern conditions
At 66 degrees north in Iceland's Westfjords, day length does not fall below 12 hours until the 21st of September. This conventional photoperiod hemp plant starting to flower just as the first frosts arrive. High Latitude Hemp, a small family-owned company based in Bolungarvík, grows CBD-rich hemp in the far north-west of the country. Here, owner, scientist and grower Sigurður Halldór Árnasonis also developing cultivation knowledge and genetics suited to northern conditions. "The biggest challenge is the photoperiod. In Iceland you have 24 hours of daylight all summer, and it doesn't go below 12/12 until the 21st of September," says Sigurður. "Around September and October you get frost, so if you´re just starting to flower at this time, then you're in bad shape." |

Social Media Engagement Can Drive Real Business for Cannabis Brands and Dispensaries
Cannabis companies spend a lot of time thinking about what to post. They plan product photos, educational carousels, staff videos, strain spotlights, promotional graphics, event recaps and short-form videos designed to capture attention. Then the content goes live, receives a few comments and sits there while the team moves on to the next post. That approach treats social media like a digital billboard. The bigger opportunity in social media is to treat engagement like a room full of people you can talk to. For dispensaries and cannabis brands, some of the most valuable social media activity happens after the content is published. It happens in the comments, direct messages, Story responses and conversations a company starts with other accounts. |
