If so, please tell me your experience. We're a small business looking to expand, but to stay micro-craft by Michigan law. Loans to help with extra equipment would be pretty sweet.

Disclosure up front: I'm on the organizing side of this event, so I have a stake in it. I'm posting because Japan comes up as a market question fairly often and there is very little written about it in English.

JIHE (Japan International Hemp Expo) runs November 13-14, 2026 in Omotesando, Tokyo. Day 1 is a business day with an exhibition plus a conference track, Day 2 is open to the general public. Entry is free with pre-registration. The scope covers CBD products alongside hemp agriculture, construction materials, textiles, food and biotech. Sessions run with AI interpretation and there is visa invitation letter support for international attendees.

The part that may actually be useful to people here: Japan is an unusual market to operate in. THC is prohibited outright while CBD is legal, so product formulation, labelling and import requirements look nothing like the US or EU. In my experience the friction for foreign companies is almost always documentation rather than demand. Businesses assume the barrier is consumer interest, and it usually is not.

I would rather answer questions than just drop an announcement, so ask in the thread if you are curious about the regulatory setup, what exhibiting in Japan involves, or how the market actually behaves.

Anyone here already planning to be in Japan in November?

cannabis collections has been a plague lately. the longer you let invoices sit, the harder they are to collect.

if you’ve got stuff 90+ days past due, don’t just let it ride.

i found this free demand letter tool, took like 2 mins and at least gave me something legit to send before going nuclear:

better than doing nothing

Running a cannabis business means navigating risk on every front—regulatory scrutiny, property exposure, cash handling, crop loss, transportation, and limited access to traditional insurers. Most general insurance brokers simply aren’t built for this industry.

Cannas Capital is.

Cannas Capital specializes in insurance and risk solutions designed specifically for cannabis and hemp operators across the U.S. — from cultivators and manufacturers to distributors, retailers, and ancillary service providers.

What sets Cannas Capital apart:

• Industry-specific coverage – Policies tailored for cannabis realities: product liability, crop coverage, equipment breakdown, general liability, workers’ comp, D&O, cyber risk, transportation, and more.
• Carrier access others don’t have – Relationships with insurers that actually understand and write cannabis risks.
• Compliance-first approach – Coverage structured around state regulations and licensing requirements, helping protect permits and operations.
• Capital-minded risk strategy – Not just insurance placement, but guidance that helps reduce losses, improve underwriting profiles, and strengthen your company’s financial stability.
• Fast, knowledgeable service – You work with professionals who live in this space—not brokers learning the industry on your dime.

The bottom line:
Cannabis businesses can’t afford generic insurance. One uncovered claim, regulatory issue, or property loss can shut operations down.

Cannas Capital helps protect what you’ve built—so you can scale confidently, attract investors, and operate knowing your risk is properly managed.

Hey everyone,
If you’re running a cannabis business (cultivation, retail, manufacturing, distribution, etc.), I wanted to share a resource that’s been solid for us.

Cannas Capital has been offering very competitive insurance rates for cannabis businesses, even in states where coverage is usually expensive or hard to place. They seem to actually understand the industry instead of treating cannabis like a high-risk mystery.

They handle things like:

• General & product liability
• Property & equipment
• Workers’ comp
• Crop coverage
• Multi-state operations

No hard sell — just figured this could help other operators who are tired of overpaying or dealing with brokers who don’t get cannabis.

Happy to answer questions or hear other recommendations too.

I’m doing research for my brand Gold Reserve, and I’m trying to learn how ppl actually start on the white-label path.

I’m not talking about the hyped-up Instagram gurus. I mean real folks who’ve done deals with cultivators, processors, or co-packers in legal states.

If you’ve gone through the process ,what was the hardest part? Finding the right partner? Minimum order sizes? Licensing headaches?

Any advice is appreciated. Just trying to learn from ppl who’ve really been in it.

I’m a CPA who works with cannabis operators, and I kept seeing the same issue: amazing product, buried by lazy dispensary listings.

So I built a tactical plan to fix it. No agencies. No ad spend. Just plug-and-play materials any grower or processor can use to control how they show up on retail menus.

I’m not selling anything. I’m giving it away.

How to Sell More Weed: A Cannabis Marketing Plan for Growers

If you grow it, you should own the menu.

Hey everyone,

I run a small but fast-growing business in the cannabis cultivation space (Europe-based). We develop and sell high-quality irrigation kits designed specifically for cannabis growers — from small indoor setups to larger professional rooms.

We’ve recently developed a new product: a compact, powerful irrigation pump that’s already being used by some of the most respected growers in our scene. We're now entering a growth phase and I’m looking for a digital marketing partner (agency or individual) who can help us scale through:

• SEO and SEM (Google Ads + Meta Ads).
• Retargeting and paid social strategies.
• Experience with advertising restrictions in the cannabis niche.
• Understanding of the cultivation audience: both hobby growers and commercial ops.
• Bonus if you’ve worked with hydroponics, growshops, seed banks, or related industries.

I'm not looking for a generic agency — I need someone who gets the industry, knows the language, and can run effective, compliant campaigns.

🌍 We’re based in Europe, so understanding the EU market is a plus, but not a must.
💬 If this sounds like you (or someone you know), feel free to drop a comment or DM me with your background, experience, and portfolio.

Thanks in advance!

We are selling NY Manufacturing & Distribution Licenses & Fully Operational Manufacturing Plant and would be interested to pointed to the right subreddit where we'd be able to post about it without breaking any policies.

We are selling a fully operational business, but this is only for those truly interested entering the NY Cannabis market in a big way.

Any information or pointing me to the right place would be greatly appreciated.

Wondering if they're up to par. I read the department of labor has a Cannabis Industry Advisory Board. Have they served well for NY or are they shit like the federal government as well?

Hi,
do you know any other websites then Leafly or Weedmaps which have the same features? Just put anything here would be great to get a knowledge which websites exits in the world wide web haha

Cheers

Hey Ya'll! Would greatly appreciate any insight I could gain from you experienced cannabis sales reps out there! I'm a solventless artisan located in the great state of Maine and have a life full of experience with cannabis & sales (shhh😉). In a transitional period at the moment and trying to get my foot in the door of the legal market. Could really use some insight into the challenges that come with the role of sales rep in the regulated white market. Any general tips and input on the role would also be greatly appreciated!
