Summary
The cannabis industry in the U.S. is grappling with uncertainties due to federal tariffs complicating import/export laws, forcing production to remain homegrown and mitigating tariff-related costs. Meanwhile, Canadian consumers are cutting ties with local brands as American consumers shift supplies to Canada, while high packaging material costs from China affect both small businesses and consumers. The reliance on foreign suppliers for plastics is driving up costs. For those affected, turning to less plastic-consuming products like OG flower or THC oil offers more affordable alternatives during this time.
