“Cannex has an opportunistic view of the cannabis industry, and is actively seeking the best opportunities, in Washington and elsewhere, to take advantage of future positive catalysts like possible federal regulatory easing,” said Anthony Dutton, CEO of Cannex Capital. “To that end, Washington is a critical component to our long-term strategy: plentiful power and water, fantastic infrastructure and workforce, and some of the world’s best farmland provide quality raw materials for future extraction and expansion.”
“Washington is the second largest producer of wine in the United States with a wide range of popular and highly-regarded brands,” continued Dutton. “We believe that it will maintain a similar position in branded cannabis products and that our experience and operational leadership provides us with a significant competitive advantage as we look to expand to additional states.”
