Cannabis Life Sciences (CSE:CLSH.U): The US multi state operator value pick
I love it when the market is busy fighting over inflated market caps, because I’m a Moneyball guy. I like value, and while a lot of money has moved toward Canadian cannabis operators in recent years, the size of the market down south is only now starting to become clear.

TGOD vs Wildflower: Underplaying your hand as opposed to overplaying it
Two news releases wafted past me yesterday that caused me to dig deeper than the words written on the page. This sometimes happens out of necessity – a company has to release news about a topic but can’t go into detail yet, or has bad news they don’t particularly want to run a highlighter over.…

The hemp shift: Livewell (LVWL.V), Heritage (CANN.C), Ascent (ASNT.C), Isodiol (ISOL.C) lead the CBD chase
If you want CBD, which is the stuff in cannabis that makes you healthier but that doesn’t get you stoned, hemp has as much of the stuff as commercial cannabis does.

Plus Products (PLUS.C) California edibles deal goes public as TGOD spins off US asset
When I call up a CEO and hear their pitch, I mentally rank where that pitch sits in terms of intelligence, opportunity, trustworthiness, alongside all the pitches I’ve heard before.

Too professional: Pure Global (PURE.V) and the companies discounted because they’re actually building businesses
Had a conversation on the phone with Stephen Pynn, VP of Corporate Devs at Pure Global (PURE.V) this week that got me thinking. Pure has had an up and down run since landing on the public markets in July of this year. It ebbs and flows like the tides, never getting really beat up, but also…
