How are you preparing your business for the possible rescheduling of cannabis?
Dave Valese | Chief Visionary Officer | HoneyProjects
Our entire business is built on quality — cannabis grown with care and integrity. So whether there’s rescheduling, descheduling or no change at all, our focus stays the same: providing our customers with the best craft cannabis New Jersey has to offer. We’ve always operated with consistency and purpose, and that won’t change no matter how the laws evolve.
Tamara Anderson | Founder | Culinary & Cannabis
At Culinary & Cannabis, we’re focused on education and accessibility. Rescheduling would open doors for more medical and research opportunities, so we’re expanding partnerships with healthcare professionals, wellness experts, and culinary leaders to provide accurate, science-backed content. Our goal is to ensure our community feels informed, comfortable, and empowered to explore cannabis safely and confidently, no matter the regulatory landscape.

Purchasing of consumables, such as substrates and nutrients, can often be episodic, with operators forced to delay purchases due to cash constraints instead of their harvest cycles. This dynamic can also lead to the use of products chosen primarily for their price, rather than for their performance or suitability for a specific cultivation environment. We believe rescheduling will result in healthier balance sheets and better cash flow. With demand for our products already approaching all-time highs, Rx Green remains committed to ramping up production and expanding inventory to ensure reliable supply and support the continued growth of our customers.

Pre-rolls are a booming category. Just last year, they garnered more than $2.3 billion in U.S. sales, and $915.5 million in Canada. No matter how regulations shift, we’re laser-focused on building scalable automation that helps producers remain competitive with this form factor. Especially in an environment with 280E — and even an environment without it — keeping costs low, reducing downtime and delivering consistent, high-quality products will help producers survive and support standout brands.
Jeremy Shechter | Founder | Open Source Horticulture
Cultivators are already facing high costs and price compression, and rescheduling may increase or at least maintain a high level of competition. Open Source Horticulture is focusing more on working with clients to maximize efficiency by streamlining their labor force, creating a more productive atmosphere and reducing energy costs.

Xtra Laboratories continues to work with trusted industry leaders to help shape the industry through collaborative efforts like VapeSAFER. By establishing new standards, we can better prepare for any future regulatory oversights.
