MedMen (MMEN.C) goes public Tuesday, but three executives will make most of the money on the deal
The risk, when allowing US weed deals to come up north to go public, is that they’ll bring their OTC way of doing things up here and soil our pretty little pubco kingdom. I mean, let’s be clear – the Canadian venture capital markets are a rank pit of vipers that live by sucking on…

Book it as yet another step on the march to a revenue-licious consumer products division, as The Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD.T) has announced a deal with Colorado-based CBx Enterprises to license extraction and vaporization technology for Canadian and international (non-US) markets. The deal involves Evolab and CBx Sciences products, which TGOD says positions it for…

Namaste Technologies (N.V) will buy you a beer if you don’t sell their stock while it’s being blown out
I’m serious. That’s the pledge from Namaste Technologies (N.V); they’ll throw a party for anyone who doesn’t sell their stock over the next three months. Namaste Technologies Inc., the owner of online stores that sell vaporizers and bongs, is taking unusual steps to stabilize its share price and thwart an attack on its business by…

Aurora Cannabis (ACB.T) is either smarter than everyone else with its Medreleaf (LEAF.T) deal, or…
I have a theory, and I’ll probably never know if it’s accurate, but it goes like this: Medreleaf’s (LEAF.T) executives and board looked at its valuation recently and said to themselves, “It’s never going to be higher than it is right now. We should find someone to buy us right now because farming is hard work…

Running the numbers: Just what has Lifestyle Delivery Systems (LDS.C) got into here?
There’s been a lot of news coming out of Lifestyle Delivery Systems (LDS.C) these past few weeks, with the primary slot dedicated to a deal they’ve struck with Quality Resources Inc., which has “developed commercial scalability in the areas of extraction and distillation for cannabis oil.” Yawn, right? Every oil extractor would boast the same…

Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD) IPO happens Wednesday: And hell is coming with it
It’s not always an indicator of future glory, but the upcoming IPO landing of cannabis growing/processing/products play The Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD.T) is generating enough buzz that it would appear competitors are seeing their shareholders cash out of their stocks in preparation for it landing May 2.

ABcann (ABCN.V) founder sells 800,000 shares – then resigns
There are legitimate reasons to tell a delinquent off-spring, “I dislike you”. But it’s still something you should never do. We have the same opinion about company insiders off-loading high volumes of a micro-cap stock. It’s crappy behavior. Shareholders (like children) expect stronger leadership. ABcann Global (ABCN.V) is involved in the production of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis…

Dumb places to put your weed dollars: Maple Leaf Green World (MGW.E)
My former boss used to say, “Horse racing? Why bother? I could just smash my head on a wall, throw red wine on my shirt, burn $500, and save myself a day.” I’ve stolen his line many times, and will do it again today. “Invest in Maple Leaf Green World (MGW.E)? Why bother? I could…

HIKU Brands (HIKU.C) and WeedMD (WMD.V) to merge, creating vertical integration beast
If there’s been a knock on HIKU Brands (HIKU.C), nee DOJA, by the critics over the last year, it’s been that they don’t grow enough actual weed. Sure, they’ve nailed the branding side and they did a big deal to grab the most recognizable retail brand in Canada in Tokyo Smoke, and they have retail…

CROP Infrastructure (CROP.C) cashing in on Washington State’s $1.4 billion cannabis industry
Back in the day, when the cannabis craze was first dropping on the public markets, Canadians were forbidden from doing deals to buy Washington State cannabis growers. You had to be a local to get a license, and the method used to get one of those was comical. You had to fill out a form…
