Guest: None

Summary:

This episode of "Ask Chad Grassy Logic" covers Vireo Growth's strategic acquisition of Schwazze's debt for $62 million, granting them control over Schwazze's future assets and ultimately leading to its wind-down, pending regulatory approval in Colorado and New Mexico. Additionally, the episode examines the challenges facing Michigan's cannabis market, including declining sales, a new 24% wholesale tax, and legislative proposals to cap retail licenses, which critics argue fail to address the core issues of oversupply and tax burdens.
