Opportunity
In 2017, the pundits predicted cannabis flower and pre-rolls would die - replaced by vapes, edibles, beverages, etc.
The contrary happened.
From Day 1, the TOAST team bet on the first rule of marketing: “Old Habits Die Hard”. The team embraced the heritage of cannabis and started to re-imagine the joint.

There has been recent news by the Department of Justice and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) regarding rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III. Assuming rescheduling does move forward, we expect there will be a number of regulatory changes in the coming years. With these anticipated changes, we will continue to optimize our business model, accelerate growth, and be well-positioned as a result of our first-mover advantage and established brand equity.
