How it helps a cannabis business

• Write loyalty texts, budtender scripts, and marketing copy that sounds like you
• Develop promotions and think through a business problem before you commit
• Build a simple working tool, like a bundle margin calculator, by describing it, then share it with a link

One thing to watch

Anthropic's usage policy bars help selling controlled substances illegally, and cannabis is still federally illegal. Use it for operations, analysis, and business-to-business writing, and expect it to decline some copy that pushes product sales.
