The Global Cannabis Market in 2026: Where the Legal Opportunities Actually Are
Host: Shea GuntherMarch 18, 202655 minlarge★ Featured
Episode Summary
Bob Hoban maps the international cannabis regulatory landscape, focusing on Germany's adult-use rollout, Thailand's recriminalization reversal, and which Latin American markets are quietly creating the best licensing environments for US operators.
Germany's rollout is the template. The mistakes German operators are making today are the same ones Colorado made in 2014. US operators with international counsel have a 12-month head start on every domestic-only player.
