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’.

Loads of pharma companies have investor decks that promise they’ll one day be in the psychedelics business, the MDMA business, even mescaline, but getting licensed to be involved in those spaces is not an easy thing. Lophos Pharmaceuticals Corp (MESC.C) recently received…

Revive Therapeutics (RVV.C) finds multiple research options moving forward
In Canada, if you look backwards over the timeline, you’ll often find public companies have been other things back in the day. Risen, fallen, tapped out, rolled back, reemerged as a whole new thing. Sometimes this happens several times before a business model catches. Revive Therapeutics (RVV.C) is that rare Canadian smallcap that, while it…

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…

Lucy Loves Luchre: Psyence Group (PSYG.C) was always just a shroom chaser
The boss has told me to start running the rule over weed and psychedelics companies with a view to picking out anything that’s quietly profitable, or could be soon, among the general dross of both sectors, and to say I’m excited by that would be an overstatement. In general, cannabis companies are hamstrung by government…

Private med reformulator SecureDose acquired by PharmaDrug Inc (PHRX.C)
A few weeks back, in what has become a seminal Equity.Guru piece about the quickly legalizing safe supply drug space, I tore into PharmaDrug (PHRX.C), which was lurching into strategic alternatives land as it appeared to have run out of dough to push its drug trials forward.

Revive Therapeutics (RVV.C): Covid came, Covid went, but Revive is still fighting
Back at the dawn of Covid-19, a load of public companies started pumping out news releases that claimed they were going to be entering the medical space. In the best tradition of Howe Street, long dormant mining companies suddenly became med-tech deals, hawking everything from clear plastic checkout counter dividers to virus sniffing doorways to…
