Why did Canopy (WEED.T) Aurora (ACB.T) and Aphria (APHA.T) gain $10 million per minute today?
U.S. cannabis stocks exploded today. Canadian Cannabis stocks also exploded. Almost every stock with the word “cannabis” mentioned in the “About Us” link – exploded. Even MedMen (MMEN.C) – a money hemorrhaging retailer run by ass-clowns – was up 1%. A rare counter example: iAnthus Capital (IAN.C) was down 2% by mid morning. iAnthus had…

Gaia Grow (GAIA.V): Hemp grown right, business run right, market cap insane
