Today's edition is sponsored by Range. Their CFPs and CPAs build wealth plans where the tax strategy and the investment strategy actually talk to each other. Their support keeps these briefings free and focused on what actually matters.
Cannabis produced its first true hostile takeover attempt yesterday. Curaleaf put a $272 million offer for Aurora Cannabis directly in front of shareholders after two private letters went nowhere, and Aurora answered with a special committee. The hemp beverage bill introduced Monday picked up the endorsement that changes its odds, from the wholesalers and retailers who already run the alcohol aisle. In Roanoke, a judge heard arguments that will decide whether Virginia's 2-milligram cap reaches shelves on Saturday. A Madison Heights parking lot, meanwhile, is showing Michigan what happens when a city makes surveillance a condition of selling cannabis.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.
