Who We Are
Working in the cannabis industry is one of the biggest open conspiracies of our time. Despite federal illegality, a thriving, innovative market has emerged, driven by operators, advocates, and entrepreneurs who refuse to let outdated laws stifle progress. Every transaction, product launch, and investment in the industry is a quiet act of defiance, a collective effort to normalize and legitimize cannabis while pushing for a more just and equitable future.
846 Collective was founded by professionals who have dedicated their careers to serving clients in the cannabis industry and believe traditional law firms and consulting agencies fall short in providing transparent, cost-effective, and practical advice that the industry requires.
