Hemptown Organics opens financing to non-accredited investors
A few years ago, we wrote one of our defining pieces at Equity.Guru, an article that opened a new world up for a variety of investors, and introduced them to a pre-public listing deal that, for a change, was opening up to the little guy. So you missed Canopy/Tweed coming to the market. You stood…

Reading between the lines: Nutritional High’s (EAT.C) misplaced weed, and 1933’s (TGIF.C) respectable loss
Back in mid-2018, when everyone was talking about how MedMen (MMEN.C) was going to be the biggest weed debut ever, one of my guys looked at their listing docs, specifically under the section relating to executive compensation.

Marijuana Update: Ravenquest (RQB.V), CROP (CROP.C), Lifestyle Delivery Systems (LDS.C), iAnthus (IAN.C), and trust
The ability to trust the people you put your money into is of utmost importance. ‘Management’ is oft cited as one of the pillars of a company’s success, but management in this instance could also be defined as ‘trust’. If I asked to borrow money from you in the street, your ability to trust me…
