New Frontier CEO & Founder Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, commented on the importance of states revealing the successes as well as the issues which they have encountered, "We applaud, in particular, the work of Washington State which has set the gold standard in transparency by making all the data collected by its seed-to-sale system publicly available. This level of transparency is enormously valuable as it enables all stakeholders across the industry, including operators, investors, regulators and policymakers to have a quantifiable view into this highly dynamic industry."
