How to Dominate the Cannabis Industry

How to Dominate the Cannabis Industry

So many people are in a rush to be proven right and be accepted …

But the truth is, being underestimated and misunderstood is a massive advantage in business.

Instead of debating or convincing people why you’re “going to win”, spend time on actually building your brand and let the results speak in the end!

I talk about this more in this keynote I gave to cannabis industry leaders at Hall of Flowers … Curious to hear your $.02 in the comments 😉

    King of extraction in North America: The Valens Company (TSX: VLNS) will be a future monster with more than 2 hand fulls of marijuana companies asking for extracts depending on Valens. Also they were profitable but fell just a few cents under profitability since covid! But they are ramping up new partner in Australia🇦🇺 , sent a shipment to Denmark, slowly but surely they are reaching for their Global Leader in extraction.

    this video gave me zero material knowledge… thanks for the "motivation" tho smh



  4. Mary Ann A premium cannabis brand on May 15, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    Wow this was a awesome video Gary



  5. Robs High Class on May 15, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    Listened to this video 3 years ago…
    Fast forward and now own a commercial Cannabis facility in Oklahoma 💪
    Your words speak volumes Gary. One day I’ll find a way to repay you for all this!!!!
    Till then, the grind don’t stop!

    I hope the CBD business fails
    Miserably and every store
    Closes. No offense to owners, but it SUCKS. In states where real THC isn’t legal, now people are cutting real bud or flat or selling CBD as real. It’s the worst tease ever. You can get CBD way cheaper in bulk, legally online so people just get that. On a street level, it fucks up the game for everyone.



  7. BaddBrii on May 15, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    I needed to see this 🙏🏼🔥‼️



  8. Nick _JK on May 15, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    Goes on Logan’s podcast and says he doesn’t smoke weed 😂😂😂 Gary I used to look up to you but I’m realizing you’re a liar



  9. Xuan Power on May 15, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    The only way to dominate is to know someone that has hella money and already has a Cannabis license. Without that you’ll NEVER legally be in da game and will forever be on the dark side of the law.



  10. All About Roofing on May 15, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Ive seen A LOT of marijuana business fail. Seems disproportionate.



  11. CBD Pet Tag on May 15, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Who’s watching this in 2021? There is so much competition in the CBD arena. I’ve been in the business for three years and it’s crazy how many companies are out there now. I recently found an 8 yrs old company with patented products that are unlike any other products on the markets and it’s booming! No oils, no creams, no pills, no gummies or any traditional products. There are no ingredients so no CBD or THC enters the body. Every product has at least 2 patents, some have more. They’ve won 13 awards including the prestigious Gold Edison Medal. They just released a free business opportunity too.

    Anyone on here see a great opportunity to collaborate? I make medical topicals (Epsom salt, salve, sensual Serum, lip balms, liquid soap and other custom orders)… any startups/ bootstrappers interested?! ✊🏽😎💚



  13. Hillmike on May 15, 2022 at 6:55 pm

  23. I think we’re going to need a bigger gun on May 15, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    I got hired on for sales in a brand new cannabis brand. They started out with 2 accounts (dispensaries) I came in and starved for a bit. Fast forward we now have 30 accounts. 25 of which are mine. Residual income. I no longer work for it. It’s hard but it’s easy guys. Cannabis is the way and it’s still fresh. Get in while it’s good



  24. George Bernal on May 15, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Gary I am excited because New Mexico starts this April 1st….I have been an advocate since 2013 and now i am trying to grow on the business side of the industry. Thank you for always getting me through!

    This is classic and such a valuable resource. Check out our page for more DOPE cannabis content on how POC are building in cannabis.

    Future of cannabis: similar to tobacco. Sold out of every gas station and convenience store. Canadian and US companies will eventually become middle men. Importing products from South America-Khiron-and selling them at their outlets every where. This happened to the avocado and flower california business. It’s all about cost per gram. Aphria and Fire and flower have the head start on number of outlets. Aprhia, Khiron and One World have started cultivating in Colombia. 12 month sunshine, least cost per gram. Evidence: companies keep selling cultivation properties and leasing them back. They will not need any of these eventually. Aphria just bought an American beer company for its country wide distribution. Fire and flower signed a contract with the owners of Circle K convenience stores and gas station, 9,000 stores in the US, 19,000 stores world wide. there is the future of cannabis…………current cannabis store model is already obsolete.



  27. Rosie’s Run Chicken Hatchery on May 15, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    to anyone reading this I hope we look back in 20 years and think "yep.. glad I did that"



  28. DAVE KNOTT on May 15, 2022 at 7:10 pm

    Gary thank you for the talk, years later 4/26/22. I chose the "happy" and "journey" which is what gives me grit through the hard and fulfilment in the good times.



  29. Potrero Grande TV on May 15, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    Fake



  30. that'420'dude on May 15, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    I know I’m high but why is the video repeating itself…. you high Gary? Give me $100 Million and I can get you a billion dollar military contract. 🙂



  31. Jay Pilipovich on May 15, 2022 at 7:12 pm

    Wow that was a whole bunch of outdated and useless information that wasn’t very good advise back when it was relevant.



  32. Serious Heart on May 15, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    Winners Tax???? That is BS. How can you dominate an industry in the midst of a "drug war"….utilizing your white privilege and do nothing to help those that paved this way that are still sitting in jail for possessing a pocketful of 420. Specifically Black and Brown folks. SMH.



  33. 420 Lexxi on May 15, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    THAT PARTTT!!!! NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK🙌🏽



  34. atomictraveller on May 15, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    how to live doesn’t equal how to dominate or how to industry
    ya bunch of cocksuckers wannabe ripoff artists



  35. Bluepoint Global on May 15, 2022 at 7:21 pm

    This talk is lacking depth and rigour…



  36. The Bud Shaman on May 15, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    No more looking for confirmation… I am confirmation!!!



  37. iAmReezyX on May 15, 2022 at 7:24 pm

    I will be a Cannabis Billionaire… You look at how the US did my people dirty with this plant and now want to introduce it as this “new billion dollar industry” fuck that bullshit.

  39. dbruin03 on May 15, 2022 at 7:27 pm

    If there’s one thing I learned about the cannabis industry don’t target stoners, because they tend to be broke and uneducated. Only target medical patients and working professional because they have money, education and have a respect for science.

    His thinking is beyond, no excuses. Take risks and take advantage of the recourses you have 💯



  42. Jolene Roestof on May 15, 2022 at 7:31 pm

    Just….. thank you



  43. 420 Lexxi on May 15, 2022 at 7:31 pm

    Meanwhile we as cannabis creators can’t monetize off our videos we are still able to generate traffic and views to other platforms where we are able to monetize . Through paid promotions/ ads and more



  44. Ram Ninjalo on May 15, 2022 at 7:32 pm

    I just started as a bud tender yesterday and I’m proud of to be in this industry!



  45. roostershooter76 on May 15, 2022 at 7:34 pm

    This is geared towards spoon feeding Gen Z’ers and Millennials. It doesn’t take into account the Top of the Food Chain mentality of Gen X’ers like myself. Real creators don’t build their business using Social Media. There are too many people fighting for a piece of the pie …. I’m figuring out the recipe. Yes … you can quote me on that!



  46. Warrior R6 on May 15, 2022 at 7:34 pm

    Future millionnaire maker, under the radar small cap stock. King of extraction in North America: The Valens Company (TSX: VLNS) will be a future monster with more than 2 hand fulls of marijuana companies asking for extracts depending on Valens. Also they were profitable but fell just a few cents under profitability since covid! But they are ramping up new partner in Australia🇦🇺 , sent a shipment to Denmark, slowly but surely they are reaching for their Global Leader in extraction.
