primarily because variable costs related to production (feedstock logistics and packaging) are low, starting near 13% of revenue in 2026 Your main lever is optimizing product mix toward high-value specialty blends, like the Cannabis High-Potency Mix, which sells for $5500 per unit compared to $15000 per cubic yard for bulk product Initial projections show a breakeven in January 2026, with EBITDA reaching over \u003cstrong\u003e$349 million\u003c\/strong\u003e in the first year alone The goal is to drive down production losses from 80% to 35% by 2035 and increase production per head
