As the first month of 2023 drew to a close amid price compression, chronic oversupply and a possible recession, several marijuana industry professionals offered their predictions on how the industry will perform for the rest of the year. The trends of oversupply and price compression will most likely continue through the year, experts believe, with market oversaturation and oversupply reducing access to capital and causing prices to drop.

Arizona Dispensaries Association’s president of the board Lilach Mazor Power stated that players in the cannabis industry would have to make tough business decisions due to oversupply. Businesses will have to find unique and innovative ways to differentiate themselves from competitors, compete with the black market and attract more customers to their brands.

Consolidation within the industry is also expected to continue but at a reduced rate. The past couple of years have been characterized by several mergers and acquisitions in the cannabis industry. However, some experts believe that consolidation may slow down this year because of limited access to capital. Masha Ty from ACS Laboratory says that while consolidation points to industry maturation, it can also eradicate craft brands that simply can’t compete due to lower cannabis flower prices and complex regulations.

Another prediction for 2023 is increased on-site cannabis consumption for customers. Most, if not all, states with legal cannabis markets have banned public consumption. This means that tourists who travel to states with recreational markets usually have no way to consume legal cannabis unless a resident invites them into their home.

Smoke Honest cofounder Mason Palmer said that cannabis consumption lounges will “change the game” by encouraging safe and thoughtful consumption through “thoughtful design, art and experiential spaces.” More mature markets will also be able to improve the customer experience by making it possible for customers to test the product onsite before buying it, Palmer said.

This year will also see an influx of cannabis events, Visit Holyweed editor Dan Wilson said, with California especially seeing an increase in cannabis-related events and happenings. We can also expect the entry of more cannabinoids in the market,  High Road Edibles chief operating officer Mike Zens said. Zens predicts that CBG, CBN and CBD-infused products will see growing popularity among customers throughout the year, challenging the industry’s reliance on THC potency.

Fruit Slabs chief operating officer Brandon Dorsky also predicts that 2023 will be the year for infused pre-rolls and beverages, a prediction that is shared by Grove Bags Chief Marketing Officer Lance Lambert. Lambert believes that cannabis-infused beverages, edibles and elixirs will come into their own in 2023, especially as younger generations increasingly turn away from alcohol to other social drugs that have little to no side effects.

And even though there is little chance lawmakers will legalize cannabis at the federal level, we can expect more states to pass marijuana legalization measures. At the moment, states such as Hawaii, Ohio, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania have a good shot at legalizing cannabis use for adults this year.

If those states pass legalization measures, financing alternatives such as those provided by REZYFi Inc. could grow in importance to support the growth of the industry in those newly created markets.

Currently, cannabis is legal in 21 states for recreational usage and 39 states for medical use, with total revenues anticipated to exceed $38.8 billion through 2023. The next logical stage in the development of the cannabis market is federal financial regulation for complying enterprises.

Theoretically, most other sectors’ opportunities for credit cards, deposits and loans should be available to the marijuana business as well. However, there hasn’t been a legislative majority or the political desire to make tax and banking reform regarding cannabis business to happen, despite numerous efforts in Congress to do so.

Despite numerous attempts, the usual bills from opposing parties in the U.S. Congress and Senate — MORE, CAOA and SAFE — have not been successfully passed. Furthermore, the outcomes of the latest elections do not indicate any quick progress.

So what can a diligent, compliant cannabis startup do to obtain the funding it requires to launch, maintain and grow its enterprise? The apparent solution is to raise more equity, but the process is challenging and often reduces the shareholdings of the entrepreneurs and executives.

For a clearance sale as well as other finance, should you opt for the REITs, which are flooded with inexpensive cash from the open market? Many prospective borrowers think specialty lending is horrendously overpriced; however, this viewpoint is founded on an incorrect understanding of the situation.

Even if federal financial reform is implemented, marijuana financing is expensive for all individuals who borrow for the business because a new industry’s inherent risk is constantly factored into borrowing rates. The region’s procedural and tax systems also make the marijuana industry compositionally ineffective and highly complicated, leading to increased costs for everything, along with money, which may persist regardless of the government initiatives that are put into place because tax revenues are the driving force behind legalization.

Specialty finance firms typically borrow money on a differential basis from other parties. As a result, if the Reserve Bank raises the rate of interest, the expense to the creditor increases, and borrowing costs follow. That is how capitalism operates.

The assumption is that the anticipated rise in income or drop in expenses will more than outweigh the capital expenditures.

Since time equates to money, your rivals are either extending their growing sites, introducing a gummy plant to their producing factory, or creating an additional retail outlet while you are awaiting the offer on your subsequent funding.

Therefore, national financial reform may eventually lead to a lower cost of borrowing, but you shouldn’t count on it in the short-term. Entities such as REZYFi Inc. are working to bridge the financing gap for marijuana industry players. More actors of this nature could eventually help the industry thrive despite lacking access to mainstream banks.

REZYFi, a growth mortgage origination and specialized financing company that targets licensed and permitted cannabis companies, owners of real estate who lease to cannabis companies and companies and individual homeowners, is set to benefit from the growing support for the cannabis industry. “The United States Department of Agriculture (‘USDA’) is set to include hemp data in its 2022 Census of Agriculture. It is noted that with this inclusion, the organization is pushing the conversation around hemp and marijuana forward. It also signals the eventual integration and support of the overall cannabis industry. With this support, various companies within the sector are set to benefit, REZYFi being one of them,” a recent article reads. “REZYFi is banking on the federal legalization of this product. Its management is optimistic that this recent move by the USDA to include hemp data is a step in the right direction. More importantly, the company understands that this inclusion gives farmers a voice in the matter and the power to influence policy in a way that would favor the industry’s growth… The increasing support of the cannabis industry is proving more promising while presenting many growth opportunities for companies such as REZYFi.”

In a recent study, participants reported that cannabis increased their desire, intensified their orgasms, and sharpened their sensory perception, providing evidence that cannabis can improve sex. Moser Amanda, a sexologist residing in Denver who has specialized in integrating cannabis and sex, took part as the paper’s lead author.

More than 70% of respondents to Moser’s online questionnaire, which included more than 811 marijuana-using individuals, reported that smoking marijuana before sex enhanced orgasms and boosted desire, regardless of gender or age. The results showed greater sexual satisfaction and functioning. About 62.5% of users claimed that marijuana increased pleasure during masturbation.

According to the authors, the survey’s findings are important for ladies’ satisfaction. Recent research found that women who engage in sex with men are usually less likely to feel sexually satisfied than their partners. The study reports that women are likely to orgasm more frequently when using marijuana prior to sexual activities.

Moser used social media platforms and organizations that advocate for the decriminalization of marijuana and medical cannabis to draw participants. Only adults above the age of consent were eligible to respond.

The authors point out that a number of the results were consistent with earlier studies. For instance, higher desire and orgasmic intensity were reported by both men and women. Women asserted that they might have more orgasms more frequently.

Moser states that when participants used cannabis consciously prior to sex, sexual satisfaction increased by a large margin. Ladies who experience vaginismus and have lowered desire may profit from the ability of cannabis to relax muscles and improve sexual performance.

A 2019 survey with related findings was conducted by a researcher named Becky Lynn, a specialist in women’s reproductive health and university lecturer of gynecology and obstetrics at Maryland’s Saint Louis University. In that survey, women who admitted to using cannabis prior to sex were more likely to say they had more satisfying and intense orgasms.

However, based on another study, better sex does not necessarily result from consuming more cannabis. A literature review from 2019 found that marijuana affects arousal depending on the dosage, with lower levels of THC associated with more stimulation and pleasure. While most research has shown that cannabis may benefit female sexual function, the study found that too much THC can have a contrary effect.

Additionally, cannabis and sex have been positively linked in various online studies. Also, one survey revealed a possible link between the decriminalization of cannabis and enhanced sexual interactions.

As more enterprises such as REZYFi Inc. step up to provide alternative financing to marijuana industry actors in the absence of access to traditional banks, more innovative products could be introduced on the market so that other benefits of this plant can be brought to the fore.
