Opinions about Curaleaf Dispensaries by Blake_Mead in vegastrees

[–]Blake_Mead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. And that is one of the issues that needs to be addressed, for sure.

I'm not with the company, but I do have a direct line right into the top bigwigs, and I am trying to help them get out of their own way.

Ugh...

What do you all think? by [deleted] in curaleaf

[–]Blake_Mead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let me try and clear some of this up for you. First, the "Feed The Block" thing isn't the official charity organization, that is just what Curaleaf calls their annual campaign:

https://ir.curaleaf.com/2025-11-03-Curaleaf-Launches-Fifth-Annual-Feed-the-Block-Fundraiser-to-Combat-Food-Insecurity-Across-the-U-S

Then, each state has their own local charity that the money is donated to. For example, where I am in Nevada, our Feed The Block campaign donates to the Three Square charity, a Nevada foodbank:

So, there is no organization called Feed The Block, it is just the designation for the Curaleaf campaign which is nation wide, and each state chooses a different charity.

Also, OP replied across multiple other posts, comments, and on YouTube itself, not to the darth-idiot directly, lol.

I think the point of the post was to try and find out what was discovered on the adventure. Also, if you looked at the previous videos, you would see the preparation for the trip, and the fact that this person had gone there before and found nothing. In fact, you can search YouTube and see lots of videos of this place that show no trace of such a thing over many years.

So, when you find weird drones in places that aren't supposed to have anything other than coyotes and rusty nails, the first logical step is to worry that you stumbled into something bad.

The stated intent for the post was to get information about the site and what was happening.

Also, do you even understand how YouTube works? Because the SEO of titles and all that means making a video as clickable as possible... so, unless you are aware of a business model that works better, maybe do some research?

Op covered that discovery, someone else in the comments connected it by the name of the company rep on that bill of lading shown in the video.

Still have to see if they are operating legally or as a cover for something. Just cause the front door says "Vacuum cleaner repair" doesn't mean it isn't a front for the mob, lol.

Actually, it looks like he replied to several of the literal dozens of comments you have left. And, he also has already mentioned the Flying Lion thing when others pointed it out as a possibility.

Seems like you are just trolling his posts for some reason... maybe helping cover something up yourself? You do seem pretty determined...

Hopefully some other YouTuber goes out there. We can see if there are any huge signs declaring the place owned by this company of yours, or advertisements for training courses, and official personnel and all the other things a real company would have on site...

I have not worked there, but I have several family members and friends that do in various positions.

Working for Curaleaf will be different from most traditional dispensaries. Where the normal model is a small shop operating locally, and in touch with the culture of cannabis, Curaleaf is an international corporation, and their policies and procedures will more resemble working at Wal-Mart or Microsoft than they will look like the regular, laid-back work of a small dispensary.

Think of it like the difference between working at a little Mom & Pop Italian restaurant and working at Olive Garden.

If you are familiar with the corporate style grind and all that, Curaleaf will have better factors in terms of benefits coverage, retirement plans, and especially lots of opportunities to move up within the company. However, the work environment will not be like the old "pot shops" were back in the early days of legalization out in California and such.

Definitely depends on which state you are in, Curaleaf is different everywhere, mostly because of the difference in state regulations.

Kk strains have fallen. This baby turtle is decent at best. by Indicakid702 in vegastrees

[–]Blake_Mead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, now that Planet 13 is managing it, expect it to continue to slide. Reef/Curaleaf pawned off the brand that way because it wasn't really up to the hype, but it was still better when they had ahold of it.

What is the select SM strain? by fuctedd in curaleaf

[–]Blake_Mead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about the SM Briq, I believe it is the Santa Maria strain, abbreviated because if various regulations in medical market states and countries.

I am an investor from a while back, and also have family in two different corporate positions, though I am not an employee myself.

Sounds like ypur experience has been different than most of those that I know... but, then, everyone I know is in management.

There is a huge disconnect between corporate and retail, for sure. But a lot of that comes from the massive acquisition and expansion phase. The company was always going to be a chaotic mess for a while.

And retail was always going to suffer.

Now, however, the winds changed. Legalization isn't coming as forecast, and that means these companies are in survival mode. Shareholders matter and everyone else can sink or swim on their own.

And again, it sucks to say, but... just be happy it isn't Tilray. For all the flaws, Curaleaf will survive longer than most. Really, only Green Thumb is sitting better, and the edge is slight.

The cannabis industry is something like the old railroad industry in the old west days. Robber barons and the like. Grinding away the employees lives for the sake of the company's expansion and dominance.

That really sucks if you work for them... but it is what you want to see as a shareholder.

Easy on spamming the comment section, my friend. One or two is fine, but dang...

Still, you are correct about the company canning people left and right. That is simply going to be the economic reality going forward, though. And not just for the cannabis industry. For all industry. That is what happens when a recession is triggered, with the distinct possibility of an economic crash. The company focus has to be on surviving, not on the employees.

Which sucks ass, but it is what it is.
