Weed roll-up BZAM (BZAM.C) used stock to buy assets <60 days before asking for creditor protection
You’ve built a decent little company. You’ve grown some brands. You’re feeling okay about things when a bigger company comes along, offers you a bunch of their stock, making you a significant shareholder, and tells you there are other strong hands in the investor base, including the wealthy chairman who has been lending the company…

Nova Cannabis (NOVC.T) and Legal Cannabis in Canada, is the worst behind us?
The road for Canadian legal cannabis operators has been littered with hardship since the industry took a header in 2019.

With little available capital and a staggering over capacity, private…

Bionxt Solutions (BNXT.C) shows how pivots don’t have to mean resets
Several years back, Hugh Rogers was in my office talking about his cannabis company. Way back then, the plan was to grow in Germany and be first on the continent, using an old wartime bunker as a ‘safe growing facility’. Those plans morphed quickly as the reality of the cannabis space became clear. The cannabis…

Cannabis memory lane: Who’s sticking it out, who’s dead and dying
I was feeling every ounce of my chest cold, the thing everyone apparently has, the one that’s going around, the one that’s not covid but who could tell. I was also standing on a stage at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce awards gala, blinking at stage lights and peaking over the shoulders of some very…

BC Bud Co (BCBC.C) re-flowering legal cannabis
The legal cannabis revolution was disruptive not dissimilar to the dot com boom. Tech was rapidly changing the way we lived, worked and entertained ourselves.

As Australia opens to cannabis, Canntab’s (PILL.C) tech might just claim the box seat
News this week that Canntab Therapeutics (PILL.C) received an Australian patent for their hard-pressed cannabis pill tech, to match those received earlier in North America, didn’t launch the stock into space. That’s understandable, to be honest, as North American investors have taken an eye off the island continent and its slow roll to weed legalization…

Canntab Therapeutics (PILL.C): The Canadian weed sector is struggling, but new consumer products have room to scale
If we’re honest about it – if we’re REALLY honest about it – Canada has fumbled its advantage in the cannabis sector. First to market, first to raise hundreds of millions in financing, first to legalize, first to recreationalize (not a word but I’m on a roll), and it’s all really been for naught. In…
