Aforeworn detected this change in the Cannabis & Hemp Operators space on July 6, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated High urgency.

There is a time constraint attached: Licensing applications expected to open in 2023; sales targeted for 2024. Immediate action needed to prepare..
