E10 - The cost of inequity, the cost of prohibition, and the rise of megastores

Welcome back to another week of the High-Rise Podcast! In this episode, Cy and Emily are joined by Jeremy Berke, senior reporter at Insider. Jeremey recently published a report which examines "The Cost of Inequity" in the cannabis industry. The High-Rise crew delves into some of the details from this report and digs a little deeper. In other news, our hosts talk a little bit about a recent statement made by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas stating that federal prohibition laws 'may no longer be necessary'. Finally, in some MSO-related news, Cy and co talk about the recent Glass House de-SPAC and some of the details around a merger with Element 7, LLC and also what's happening with Planet 13 and opening megastores in key tourist destinations. As always, this is an episode to stay tuned-in for.

AUDIO NOTE: this episode was recorded on the road where we experienced minor sound quality issues here and there. Thanks for bearing with us during those moments!
