A bad delivery model in cannabis burns cash fast. Devin Alexander has the scars to prove it and the results to show it can work. In this episode of High Functioning, the Rolling Releaf co founder walks through the real operator side of Massachusetts delivery. He talks about picking Newton, finding a landlord who would take a cannabis tenant, dealing with two driver rules and inventory limits, and using SEO to go from one lonely order to a steady base of repeat customers. We get into social equity grants, local politics, women as the core delivery customer, and how high dose tinctures sit next to flower for people who are stepping away from opioids. If you are serious about starting or fixing a delivery business, this is the kind of detail you do not get in a panel talk.
