CPA and business advisory firm MGO unveiled its fifth annual “Cannabis 50” list. This list celebrates the impactful contributions of companies, organizations and individuals in the cannabis and hemp sectors over the past five years.
“This industry has overcome so many challenges since our Firm got involved with cannabis in 2015, and since we issued our first MGO ‘Cannabis 50’ report in 2019,” MGO partner and head of cannabis Scott Hammon said. “We are optimistic about rescheduling and the impact it will have on the industry, certainly its biggest impact in the near term is the positive momentum it has generated.”
MGO’s head of entertainment Tony Smalls further highlighted the role of athletes, entertainers and media in mainstreaming the industry.
“There are a lot of minorities leading the pack. This is unlike other CPG industries and demonstrates real social progress and just how intertwined cannabis and culture really is,” Smalls said.
