Policy, Decoded lands every weekday morning with the operators, investors, lawyers, and regulators who have to act on cannabis and hemp policy before it takes effect. It is written by Shawn Collins, who built the Massachusetts cannabis program from nothing and ran the Commission for six years. Sponsorship puts you in that inbox every weekday morning, for a year.
It is a small list, and that is the point. It goes to the people who have to act on a rule before it takes effect: operators running multi-state footprints, the lawyers advising them, trade associations, and the regulators and legislators themselves. That last group includes the agencies that issue the licenses, the departments that write the medical rules, the tax authorities that collect the excise, and sitting members of state legislatures. Nearly four in ten open it every weekday morning, and enough of them follow the links through to the primary document rather than stopping at the summary that the documents are worth putting there.

“It’s an excellent resource and often surfaces perspectives or commentary I would not have considered.”

“Learning about problems states are having, traps that North Carolina might hope to avoid. And keeping up with tax policy developments, too.”

The Daily Briefing
One presenting sponsor per edition, placed after the lead story while people are still reading. Your copy runs in the register of the briefing, with a logo and a link. Written by you or written here, whichever reads better.
Sponsorship runs as a standing partnership rather than a bought slot. Three partners at a time, presence in every weekday edition, and a twelve-month term.
$1,000a month
Founding rate, for the first three partners
Sponsors do not see editions before subscribers do. They do not get stories placed, killed, or softened, and they do not get told what is coming. If a sponsor turns up in the briefing it is because they did something worth writing about, and it will read the same as it would have without the relationship.
That rule is not decoration. The value of this list is that people trust what it says. Every sponsor is buying that trust, which means every sponsor has an interest in nobody being allowed to buy it.
The Sunday Read-In carries no sponsor at all, and it is not going to. It takes a position at the end, and an argument with a logo on it is worth less than an argument without one. That edition stays clean.
Deadlines, Decoded carries no sponsor either. The running ledger of what takes effect, when, and where to read the law itself is free to use, and it sits outside the sponsorship inventory.
