Capital, Expansion, and M&A in Ohio Cannabis: How Deals Are Taking Shape Right Now

Ohio is attracting capital, but growth is becoming more selective. This session explores how expansion, partnerships, and acquisitions are unfolding today, shaped by local control, tax pressure, and changing investor expectations. Attendees will take away: what types of Ohio assets are drawing interest right now; how expansion strategies are shifting in a maturing market; where deals are moving forward — and where they stall; and how operators are preparing for growth without overextending.
