The cannabis hardware investment opportunity

Hardware innovations can play a key role in fostering the horizontal integration that we think is necessary for the cannabis industry to mature. For example, precision agriculture can help growers use fewer inputs to grow more cannabis and hemp. On the consumer and medical patient side, better dosage control may help brands build consumer trust and increase patient retention.

We also think successful hardware companies will find new ways to offer real-time information and diagnostics and focus on increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of other verticals in the cannabis value chain.
