The best time to invest in California's cannabis industry is right now, but many existing cannabis operators are falling through the cracks that local industry bans, continually evolving state and local regulations, and the initial burden of investment requirements have made in California's once thriving cannabis market. Direct investments in licensed operations are too risky for prudent investors, who recognize the threats to economic stability posed by federal interventions against state license holders, and by local drug task-force interventions against operators that rushed to obtain local licensing status before state license applications were available. ECHC has negated both of these market risks, through the development of a business model that creates layers of separation between our investors and the cannabis industry, and by projecting developmental timelines that place our operations far behind the "front lines" of such drug war interventions. Our business model is built to last, and our Board of Directors have the hindsight and foresight to weather any storms that may come our way, as we anticipate the expansion of our company holdings through next 10 years, and beyond. The right time to invest is now. The right place to invest in is here, at Emerald Coast Holding Company.
