My guest today is Jerry Derevyanny, a partner at Bengal Capital, a cannabis investing firm. Jerry has been a part of the regulated Cannabis industry since 2014, and today he shares the nuances of investing in this growing and unique industry. I enjoyed listening to Jerry’s frameworks for the industry, such as Ants versus Locusts, the similarities and differences between Alcohol and Cannabis, capital allocation, and valuation. We also cover politics, the farm bill, and what the future of the Cannabis industry may look like. Please enjoy this conversation with Jerry Derevyanny. Bengal Capital's substack here.
