For Immediate Release
Edmonton, Alberta (September 5, 2024)–Diplomat Consulting is partnering with Leaf Street
Strategies, and its Principal and Founder, Tyler Klimas to expand efforts in supporting the
burgeoning North American cannabis hospitality sector.
Klimas brings his expertise as the former chief cannabis regulator for Nevada’s billion-dollar
cannabis marketplace, where he helped usher in a first-of-its-kind cannabis consumption lounge
program, to the Senior Advisor role.
“Social consumption venues and live entertainment events represent the new frontier of the
legal cannabis industry,” said Klimas. “Our partnership will help bring innovative and responsible
cannabis consumption experiences to new markets, creating safe and unique opportunities for
both consumers and businesses.”
With more jurisdictions in Canada and the United States (U.S.) launching social consumption
opportunities, the cannabis hospitality sector is poised for remarkable growth. Additionally, with
the expansion of popular cannabis product categories like THC-infused beverages, live
entertainment venues and sports leagues spanning the U.S.-Canadian border have started to
invest in cannabis-related experiences.
“Diplomat is excited to welcome Tyler and Leaf Street Strategies to the team,” said Nathan
Mison, Founder of Diplomat Consulting. “With the explosion of the cannabis hospitality sector
and the imminent rescheduling of cannabis in the U.S., we will work synergistically to unlock
significant cross-border opportunities by bringing well-established frameworks for social
consumption to jurisdictions that are considering expanding consumption opportunities.”
Diplomat and Leaf Street Strategies are committed to ensuring that cannabis consumption is
integrated responsibly and safely within hospitality environments, including adhering to stringent
regulations, providing safe and enjoyable experiences for consumers, and supporting local
economies through job creation and business growth.
