Heartfelt Commendation for Catalyst-BC: A Beacon of Excellence

Ian and the entire Catalyst-BC Team,

I am typing this letter today not as a formality but rather as a sincere expression of the profound appreciation and respect for your team’s outstanding performance and service I, my cofounders, and our investors feel. The journey toward securing one of the hotly contested licenses for medical cannabis processing in Alabama was nothing short of a Herculean task. However, the remarkable feat we achieved was not just our triumph but a testament to the commitment, expertise, and sheer tenacity of the Catalyst-BC team. It is an honor to say that we didn’t just secure a license, but we secured the most distinguished one in our class, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your invaluable partnership.

Working on a stringent timeline, your team has shown us what it means to deliver under pressure. The one-month application process, which otherwise would have taken others a great deal more time, was managed with unwavering efficiency and precision. You stepped in where our team needed support and transcended all expectations. The poise and dedication you all exhibited have left an indelible impression on us all. We pride ourselves on having an accomplished team, yet I would be remiss not to acknowledge Catalyst-BC as the true MVP of this endeavor. Amidst the complex, competitive, and challenging landscape of the cannabis market, your team stood as a pillar of strength, steering us deftly toward our goal. The wealth of expertise and intellectual property Catalyst-BC brought to the table fortified our confidence, assuring us that failure was not an option. Your proven track record and the streamlined process became our guiding light, illuminating our path toward success.

As we venture into the initial buildout phase, the degree of support you’ve extended has been phenomenal. Your unwavering commitment to our project reinforces the truth that we didn’t just gain a consulting partner in Catalyst-BC, but an ally, a mentor, and a guiding force in our journey.

With utmost appreciation,

Tyler Robinson

Founder + CEO Jasper Development Group

Cannabis Compliance Isn’t Just a Department—It’s a System
Compliance in the cannabis industry is too often approached as a box-checking exercise or relegated to a single department or, in some cases, a single person. In reality, cannabis compliance must be woven into every aspect of operations – from seed to sale – to truly protect and propel a business forward.
Cannabis Cultivation Turnaround: A Strategic Guide for Stakeholders
Creating a profitable cannabis cultivation business is far more complex than simply growing plants—it’s about managing a company within one of the world’s most dynamic and tightly regulated industries. Operators often find themselves battling shrinking margins, ever-changing compliance requirements, and increasing competition, all while trying to extract maximum value from every corner of their operation.
Open a Cannabis Consumption Lounge in New Jersey: Getting Started Guide
New Jersey’s adult-use law allows “cannabis consumption areas,” but only as an endorsement to existing licenses. The Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) decided not to create a new license class; instead, licensed Class 5 retailers (or permitted medical dispensaries) can apply for a Consumption Area Endorsement to their facility. This means only approved dispensaries (currently still coming online in NJ) can add a 21+ onsite use room. Applications for consumption area endorsements opened in January 2025.
Open a Cannabis Lounge in New Mexico: Licensing & Compliance Guide
New Mexico’s Cannabis Regulation Act (2021) explicitly authorizes On-Site Consumption Area licenses (often called “consumption lounge” permits) under the NM Cannabis Control Division (CCD). The CCD issues two types of permits: Type I (non-smoking, edibles/vapor) and Type II (smoking allowed). A consumption area license lets a venue legally serve non-infused snacks/beverages and allow consumption of cannabis products by patrons age 21+. These can be standalone lounges or add-ons to other licensees (e.g. a dispensary or restaurant that obtains a consumption license).
New York Cannabis Lounge License: Guide to Compliance and Success
New York State law provides for adult-use on-site consumption licenses under the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). As of 2025, New York is still in the early stages of issuing these licenses; only a handful of trial licenses have been granted. The Cannabis Law caps investment (no person can hold more than 3 consumption licenses) and prohibits vertical integration: lounge licensees cannot also hold dispensary, cultivation, or processor licenses. This was done to ensure lounges operate solely as consumption venues, not as sales outlets. Learn how to navigate the rules to successfully apply for your lounge license.
U.S. Virgin Islands Cannabis Consumption Lounge Getting Started Guide
The U.S. Virgin Islands legalized adult-use cannabis in 2023, and its regulators have explicitly created consumption lounge permits. Under the Virgin Islands Cannabis Regulatory Advisory Board’s rules (approved April 2024), a qualified operator can obtain an Adult-Use Lounge Permit. This permit allows on-site cannabis consumption by adults 21+ in a designated area. Unlike many states, the USVI permits both smoking and non-smoking lounges, provided you choose the correct permit type.
