Momentum is fragile, and that’s just the reality of cannabis advocacy.

In a recent CABA webinar, our CCO Diana Eberlein explained how easily positions shift, minds change, and the last conversation someone has before a vote could move the needle in either direction.

This is why we can’t let up now, despite the signs beginning to point in our favor. Now is the time to lean on your network. Reach out to your wholesalers, retailers, investors, and allies, keeping the message clear and concise.

To keep our community informed and ensure we're all speaking with one unified voice, we're dropping the CABA webinar recording and the registration link for future sessions in the comments.

As for the grassroots push, volume is everything. Keep tagging, sharing, and directing everyone to (also linked in comments). Every letter, post, and conversation counts.

This is not the time to get comfortable. Stay loud!

Operational simplicity isn’t just efficient, it’s a competitive advantage.

With gummy production, fewer variables means fewer opportunities for error, more consistent output, and a process your team can execute reliably every time.

The ayrloom team witnessed this firsthand when creating their gummy line, says COO Bryanna Cortese: “We’ve done R&D with oil-based distillate ingredients, but it adds extra steps, extra things to pay attention to, it’s harder to measure, and it’s more time wasted.”

Vertosa’s water-compatible emulsions eliminate pre-heating steps and the processes for ingredient addition, mixing, and homogenization are simplified.

Vertosa is proud to be representing in Chicago at the ACS CANN Fall 2026 Symposium, August 23rd-27th.

CANN is the Cannabis Chemistry Subdivision of the American Chemical Society, built to bring professionalism and scientific integrity to cannabis science. It's our kind of crowd.

Two of our R&D team members will take the stage to present original research:

📌 Taylor Nguyen (R&D Scientist)
August 26th, 2:05PM CT
Particle size characterization and thermal stress modeling for shelf-life assessment of cannabis emulsions

📌 Xin Li (Director, R&D and Product Development)
August 26th, 3:25PM CT
Food protein ingredients as novel emulsifiers for cannabinoid delivery

This is the kind of work that moves the industry forward, and we're honored to contribute.

That’s a wrap 🙌

Tosa Week brings our entire team to our Berkeley HQ for a week of connection, celebration, learning, and giving back. Tosa Week 2026 did not disappoint.

We spent a day alongside the Urban Compassion Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring communities and combating illegal dumping through advocacy, beautification, and compassionate outreach. As a company rooted in community, rolling up our sleeves with their team was a highlight of the week.

We also snuck in an Oakland Ballers game (the Bay’s Pioneer League Champions), witnessed our fearless leader Ben Larson deliver a *truly* unforgettable Bohemian Rhapsody performance, and capped off the week with our 8th Anniversary Party, bringing together the partners, clients, and friends who made it all possible.

Eight years in, and this team continues to prove that the best part of Vertosa is our people. Already counting down to next year!
