Supporting industry
        It was a bit chaotic in the beginning.
        Everyone  trying  to  get  their  product
        out  on  the  market.  But  there  were
        those  few  at  first,  that  opened  up
        businesses and brands supporting the

        industry  and  community.  From
        making oils, health products, food,
        clothing,        machinery,          lighting,
        nutrients,  right  across  a  broad
        spectrum  of  products  and  even
        bricks for building and the list goes on.
        A  lot  of  them  persevered  and  are
        eventually  settling  in  as  the  market
        leaders.
        Now  don't  get  me  wrong.  I'm  not
        saying  the  market  is  full  in  any  way.

        always will be. Yes, there are going to                   Cannabis  businesses  and  the  community
        be  new,  small  businesses  opening.                     have boomed since the de-legislation of
        And  there  are  still  entrepreneurs  to                 cannabis  in  SA,  and  this  is  only  the
        come,  who  are  going  to  change  this                  beginning. And the beauty of it all is that
        industry  in  ways  we  cannot  imagine.                  everyone  has  come  together  to  support
        And  all  this  for  the  benefit  of  the                one another as we walk this path.
