Beyond Boobs: Else Nutrition (BABY.V) is the plant-based baby formula alternative, and it’s a big deal

Vapen (VPN.C) drops financials showing another quarter of actual profits
I’ll say it. Vapes aren’t as fashionable on the cannabis investor markets as they once were. Right now you guys really like, well, nothing, but a few years back, if you went to Alibaba Express and got a shipping container of pink vapes sent over by the guy who usually does fidget spinners, the markets…
