• Theres no denying the gravity of the current
  situation. Indeed, times are tough right now as
  the coronavirus continues its spread around the
  globe. However, even with all of the gloomy news,
  there are some reasons to find happiness. Acts of
  humanity are looking pretty good right nowand
  this goes for cannabis companies, too.

Cannabis Continues

• Deemed essential in both Canada and the United
  States, cannabis companies have remained open
  amidst nearly everything else being closed.
  Receiving the same recognition as pharmacies,
  this classification is inspiring for those who
  have advocated for medical marijuana for
  decades. 
• Not only are essential marijuana services
  currently continuing, but business is actually
  booming for North American cannabis companies.
  E-commerce and delivery options allow customers
  to continue purchasing with additional safety
  measures put in place. 
• In Ontario, recent reports show that because of
  increased demand, lower prices are another silver
  lining for customers during this time. Some
  retail stores have experienced customer increases
  of up to 100 compared with previous weeks.

Helping Out

• Like grocery stores, and as one of the few
  businesses open and booming, dispensaries and
  weed companies are able to help out in a unique
  way. Meeting demand means that these
  canna-companies need more staffproviding work
  for employees laid-off from other industries. 
• These companies are hiring additional retail
  workers, delivery drivers, and extra staff to
  handle increased shipments. In fact, some
  companies are encouraging newly unemployed
  workers to apply now to help companies meet the
  surge in demand.

Sharing Infrastructure

• As an essential business, cannabis companies
  are using their open doors to help out in another
  way, too. Across the United States and Canada,
  companies are using marijuana processing
  practices to produce another essential product of
  recent timeshand sanitizer. 
• With the manufacturing equipment available, many
  companies have been producing (and donating) hand
  sanitizing gels. Canadian producer Organigram
  recently announced via Twitter that theyll be
  donating 500 liters of ethanol from their
  production plant so that it can be converted to
  hand sanitizer. This will help support the local
  health care network in New Brunswick. Check out
  CannabisCommunity and let the company know if
  there are any other resources they can share with
  the local community.

• Organigram joins other cannabis companies like
  Aloha Green Holdingswho is producing hand
  sanitizing gel that is free for any card-carrying
  medical marijuana patients. In California,
  CannaCraft has actually designated part of their
  production space to produce bottles of hand
  sanitizer. They already had the equipment ready
  and in-house scientists came up with a recipe
  thats similar to what they use to make medicated
  topicals. 
• The Commonwealth Dispensary Association consists
  of more than 36 Massachusetts marijuana
  companiesall of which are now producing hand
  sanitizer that will be donated to health care
  facilities in the state.

• This puts the cannabis industry in a new and
  unique position. Generally speaking, the health
  and cannabis industries have been at odds and now
  were in a time where cannabis producers,
  manufacturers, and retailers are able to provide
  much-needed support to local hospitals and health
  care facilities. This could be the beginning of a
  beautiful and blossoming relationship. 
• Again, we dont want to minimize the severity and
  devastation COVID-19 is causing. But we sure are
  glad to be associated with an industry thats not
  only been recognized as an essential service for
  thousands of suffers but is also doing what it
  can to help out during this difficult time.
