You have the dream.
Let me help you navigate the journey.
My name is Lily Bosshart and I'm the owner of Coast to Coast Cannabis Consulting. I offer a decades' worth of hard-won experience. Let me help you avoid the mistakes that cost operators their time, money, and licenses.
Every stage. Every challenge.
I'm not here to promise outcomes — I'm here to share what I've learned so you can make better decisions at every step of the journey.
Licensing & Compliance
Navigate state and municipal licensing from application to issuance. I've done it twice; completed the application, all requirements and stood before the boards.
Funding & Partnerships
Identify capital sources, structure partnerships, and build the financial foundation your business needs to survive.
Store Setup & POS Systems
Physical layout, point-of-sale selection, inventory systems, and the operational infrastructure that makes daily life manageable.
Marketing & Brand Creation
Build a brand that resonates, budget friendly packaging that complies, and marketing strategies that grow a loyal customer base.
HR, Staffing & Systems
Hire right, train well, and build the internal systems that let your business run without you in the room.
280E Tax Strategy
General guidance on 280E-compliant tax positioning — structure your business to minimize the burden before it costs you.
Community & Customer Base
Engage your community, create loyal customers, and build the local presence that sustains long-term growth.
Contracts & Legal Foundations
The must-have agreements from day one — partnership contracts, vendor agreements, and the documents that protect you.
Vision & Goal Setting
What does your business look like in 5 years? In 10? I'll help you define clear, realistic goals and build a roadmap to get there — before the day-to-day takes over.
You work directly with me. No AI. No interns.
Coast to Coast is a small, custom-tailored consulting practice — and that's intentional. When you reach out, you get me. Not a junior associate, not an admin, not someone who read about cannabis licensing in a textbook. I want to work with business owners and stakeholders directly, because that's how big things actually get done. I've been exactly where you are, and I bring that experience to every conversation.

"I made the mistakes so you don't have to."
Cannabis helps people.
Americans deserve a federally legal, responsibly run industry.
Until then, States are on their own to establish regulatory framework and issue licenses.
Let me help you build a business that will thrive both today, and under future federal legalization
