Management CommentaryCharlie Bachtell, Cresco Labs CEO and co-founder, said:“…While we’re disappointed that the Florida initiative didn’t reach the super majority threshold it needed to pass, we still saw substantial bipartisan majority support at 56% for cannabis legalization. For the first time ever, we had two presidential candidates that both supported broad federal cannabis reform. We look forward to working with the incoming administration to follow through on its commitment to developing a commonsense approach to cannabis laws including the passage of SAFE banking, rescheduling, and the fact that no one should be arrested for personal cannabis use.”

Cresco Labs’ stock price went UP 4.4% during Q3 (July, August, September) but went DOWN in October only to go UP by 4.8% by the close of business on November 5th.
