Legal Pot Could Be Next Move for Marlboro Maker

The maker of Marlboro cigarettes is going to join some of the largest names in beer to explore the budding cannabis marketplace. Altria Group Inc., which currently owns Philip Morris USA, is known to be the latest big company that is showing interest in marijuana. Canadian medical marijuana company named Cronos Group Inc. has confirmed the ongoing talks with Altria regarding a possible investment, as per the report by AP. Altria, which is based in Richmond, Va., is known to be one of the largest cigarette makers in whole of the United States. The company has said it had no comment on announcement of Cronos. Altria has joined beverage makers such as Heineken, Molson Coors, Constellation Brands, which have already made announcement about moves in the cannabis space.
Other huge companies such as Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi, Coca-Cola and Guinness brewer Diageo have not yet acted on it, but have told that they are watching closely as the market for marijuana as well as its extracts evolves. The cannabis market is likely to grow rapidly as legalization expands in the United States and social norms are likely to change. On Tuesday, conservative Utah became the newest state that has legalized marijuana for medical purposes. Consumers are expected to spend almost $57 bn per year worldwide on legal cannabis by the year 2027, as per the Arcview Market Research, a cannabis-focused investment firm. In North America, that spending is likely to grow from $9.2 bn in 2017 to $47.3 bn in the year 2027.

Scaling Success: Why Smart Habits Beat Growth Hacks in Modern eCommerce

There’s a romanticized image of the eCommerce founder: a daring risk-taker chasing the next big idea, fueled by late-night caffeine and last-minute inspiration. But the reality behind scaled, sustainable brands tells a different story. Success in digital commerce doesn’t come from chaos or clever hacks. It comes from habits. Repetitive, structured, often unglamorous habits.
Change, a digital platform created by eCommerce strategist Ryan, builds its entire philosophy around this truth. Through education, mentorship, and infrastructure, Change helps founders shift from scrambling for quick wins to building strong systems that grow with them. The company doesn’t just offer software. It provides the foundation for digital trade, particularly for those in the B2B space.
The Habits That Build Momentum
At the heart of Change’s philosophy are five core habits Ryan considers non-negotiable. These aren’t buzzwords; they’re the foundation of sustainable growth.
First, obsess over data. Successful founders replace guesswork with metrics. They don’t rely on gut feelings. They measure performance and iterate.
Second, know your customer deeply. Not just what they buy, but why they buy. The most resilient brands build emotional loyalty, not just transactional volume.
Third, test fast. Algorithms shift. Consumer behavior changes. High-performing teams don’t resist this; they test weekly, sometimes daily, and adapt.
Fourth, manage time like a CEO. Every decision has a cost. Prioritizing high-impact actions isn’t optional; it’s survival.
Fifth, stay connected to mentorship and learning. The digital market moves quickly. The remaining founders are the ones who keep learning, never assuming they know it all.
Turning Habits into Infrastructure
What begins as personal discipline must eventually evolve into a team structure. Change teaches founders how to scale their systems, not just their sales.
Tools are essential for starting, think Notion for documentation, Asana for project management, Mixpanel or PostHog for analytics, and Loom for async communication. But tools alone don’t create momentum.
Teams need Monday metric check-ins, weekly test cycles, customer insight reviews, just to name a few. Founders set the tone by modeling behavior. It’s the rituals that matter, then, they turn it into company culture.
Ryan puts it simply: “We’re not just building tools; we’re building infrastructure for digital trade.”
Avoiding the Common Traps
Even with structure, the path isn’t always smooth. Some founders over-focus on short-term results, chasing vanity metrics or shiny tactics that feel productive but don’t move the needle.
Others fall into micromanagement, drowning in dashboards instead of building intuition. Discipline should sharpen clarity, not create rigidity. Flexibility is part of the process. Knowing when to pivot is just as important as knowing when to persist.
Scaling Through Self-Replication
In the end, eCommerce scale isn’t just about growing a business. It’s about repeating successful systems at every level. When founders internalize high-performance habits, they turn them into processes, then culture, then legacy.
Growth doesn’t require more motivation. It requires more precision. More consistency. Your calendar, not your to-do list, is your business plan.
In a space dominated by noise and novelty, Change and its founder are quietly reshaping the conversation. They aren’t chasing trends but building resilience, one habit at a time.
