Shining Light on Cannabis Sales with Statistics | Cannabis Data Science #122

☀️ This week we talk about the need for open data in the cannabis space because summary statistics can't be trusted and consumers benefit from actually being able to see the data for themselves. Why? Because homegrow is often prohibited and bad actors plus shady businesses cut corners and use bad business practices because cannabis is in a legal gray area. There are a few good actors who deliver top-notch organic cannabis, but open data is needed to both identify clean, green cannabis as well as identify bad actors who are taking advantage of the legal gray area to profit off of unknowing cannabis consumers. As always, we use our favorite tool in our toolbox, statistics, with hope to shine a little light so that honest businesses can grow. 🤝 Join the fun, data wrangling, and analytics in the Cannabis Data Science meetup, every Wednesday at 8:30am PST | 10:30am CDT | 11:30am EST. https://www.meetup.com/cannabis-data-science/🧑‍💻 Find the data and source code: https://github.com/cannlytics/....cannabis-data-scienc Support the group: https://opencollective.com/cannlytics-company🔥 Check out Cannlytics: https://cannlytics.com
